Best thing since sliced bread, it will take me a few months to transfer all my negatives to my computer, so I will be busy over the winter. A purchase well worth the price.

It does what it says on the box. Operationaly a little bit clumsy to keep going through the menu systems each time you swithch on or want to change something. Quality of scanner result average, obviously depending on the quality of the original slide, but adequate for family holiday snaps and family memories but not for high quality work.

Once I got the hang of it I found it very easy to use. It means family slides can be available for us all in easy to see fashion. Quick start should come after the explanation of menus otherwise people will do what I did and reproduce slides of white people with black faces!

USED IT A LOT AND FOUND IT EASY. RESULTS ARE VERY GOOD PARTICULARLY ON SLIDES. tHE MAIN DISADVANTAGE ON NEGATIVES IS HAVING TO SHIFT THEM TO CENTRE THE SHOT AND THE NEED TO TRY TO KEEP DUST OFF THE IMAGE. tHIS CAN TURN OUT TO BE DIFFICULT AS IT SHOWS UP WHEN BLOWN UP BUT NOT WHEN THE IMAGE IS TAKEN. iN ALL i THOUGHT IT IS GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.
