2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out Kodak film users!, March 11, 2010

This review is from: Pandigital Photolink One-Touch PANSCN05 4-Inch x6-Inch Photo and Slide and Negative Scanner (Electronics)

I bought this to turn my old slides into pictures and transfer them online. Works great except, and this is a big except, you used kodak film to make your slides! Kodak was the most common film in the 60's and 70's for taking pictures. And almost everyone made slides because they lasted longer than prints. None of my slides taken with Kodak film will scan. They all come out as if they are a negative. I called the company and they first tried to tell me that I could fix this with photo shop! Not!!! I called back and spoke to someone else who, in passing, said that there was some trouble with Kodak. At that time, I had no idea what was wrong. Now I do. If the slide was taken using some other film, this machine works great. But if you are like me, and most of your precious memories were captured by Kodak, don't buy this converter. Keep looking.

2.0 out of 5 stars Handy but colors are too far off, April 24, 2010

This review is from: Pandigital Photolink One-Touch PANSCN05 4-Inch x6-Inch Photo and Slide and Negative Scanner (Electronics)

I recently purchased this item so my wife could scan a large collection of our old 35mm negatives. The simplicity of use was very appealing. The unit is very easy to set up, and the ability to use while connected to a computer or as a standalone unit is very convenient.

Operation is simple for either slides or negatives. Slides need to be taken out of their carrier, which is simple. On some slides that are relatively dark, the AI in the unit thinks that the edge of the slide has not been detected. The dark area of the slide does not appear in the scan, making the image a little skinnier than it should be. The instruction book does warn that this can happen.

For negatives, just push the negative into the unit and it feeds itself through. The AI detects the frame lines between the pictures and creates one file for each photo detected. This worked great!

The only issue I had with the unit was that the color was not very true. Overall, photos had a much bluer cast to them, making them look like they were all taken with a flash. We had some of these negatives printed professionally, and those appeared normal. There is no way to adjust the unit using software to compensate. This color difference was so distracting that I could not keep the product. I'm still on the lookout for a simple unit that scans all formats.

Very small and compact scanner. Super quiet and fast. Very good images. Does have an issue with very dark edges of photos, which will autocrop the image sometimes cutting peoples heads down. Other that that very pleased. I have a secondary old HP Scanjet 6 for those dark edged images. My wife has been busy archived 30 years worth of photos. Well worth the money.
