4.0 out of 5 stars Works fine for one by one slide scanning., October 11, 2002

This review is from: Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm PF1800S Scanner with SilverFast SE Software (Office Product)
For the price it worked just fine, you should have at least 256M of Ram to use properly and not be in a hurry since you have to do one slide at a time. Quality was good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Nothing, But Not Much, May 26, 2003
This review is from: Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm PF1800S Scanner with SilverFast SE Software (Office Product)
This little scanner works. After I got the new drivers, it worked fine with Windows XP. It's a one at a time scanner, and it takes about 5-7 minutes per slide. Problem: It overheats after 3 or 4 slides. You have to turn it off and start over after a half hour or so.

4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable, good output, slower, glitchy driver at times, January 27, 2004
This review is from: Pacific Image Electronics PrimeFilm PF1800S Scanner with SilverFast SE Software (Office Product)
Reading some of the below reviews, I am reminded with I use a Mac (17" iMac 1.25ghz, 768 RAM): things usually work. The PF1800 is actually a good, if not outstanding, scanner. I am scanning all my Dad's slides in and it produces good, easy to use results. I use about 1200 to 3000 dpi which produces printable good quality images in manageable file sizes. Previously I was using an Epson flatbed scanner w/ slide attachment which was much slower and could not reliably reproduce quality scans. The PF1800 does though although not perfectly: it has trouble with darker slides which come out very grainy despite various manipulations. Also its CyberView 35 driver in Mac OS X (Panther) is not glitch free: it often mysteriously retrieves an old scan while posting a NEW slide and freezes up occasionally. I've had no problem with it overheating during EXTENDED scans. But it's MUCH cheaper than the rest and it DOES WORK. I've done about a thousand slides with it so far... I should know. Also check out Costco.com for a better price and a cool software bundle that includes Adopre Photo Elements. Happy scanning!
