So simple! Let me show you how it works.

I decided to make a video review on how this Pyle film scanner works so that you can actually see it in use.It is well made and has a clear display. It comes with various cartridges for scanning different types of film. The one I’m really looking forward to using is the super 8 cartridge. My father has lots of super 8 from the 1970’s and it will be nice to get some transfers off of those.
As you can see in the video it is very easy to use and scans in about 2 seconds. Be sure to clean all the dust off of the negative before scanning. You will not see the dust/lint until you put it on your computer and blow up the image. One thing I forgot to mention in the video it that the display has a thin plastic film that you need to peel off to make the display clear.
The image it makes is pretty good. If you zoom way in on the photo it will be a little grainy but not bad and would produce a nice photo if I had prints made.
I’m pretty happy with it and now I don’t have to worry about all of our old photos deteriorating over time. I give it 5 stars and hope you found the video helpful.

Don't waste your time this is not ready for prime time. The build is cheap and the output is poor.

I have literally over 2000 photographs and slides I want to convert to digital copies and have the time to do it myself, so I purchased this unit to try it out. So far I'm just converting slides but this unit works quite well. As I get deeper into using it, I'll update my review.

Really easy to use. Saved me lots of money by being able to convert my slides myself. It more than paid for itself. I'm not a techie - just a grandma and if I can use this anyone can. I even convinced a friend to get one.

The slide scanner provided decent results - in line with what I was hoping for. It is easy to use, although the instruction manual could be more clear. One needs a photoshop like product on your computer to really get a better, more accurate jpg pictures, but the installed, out of the box app on my Dell was adequate. Given the cost and time (4 to 6 weeks) of sending your old slides out to a company for reproduction, I think this is a very cost effective alternative.

Good enough for viewing and scanning. If you want to get high quality prints from negatives and slides, not so good. Very grainy, but good for me to start cataloging my old photos. Used it with 110, and 35mm film and slides.

quick and easy. No issues with the unit and I hooked the video out to an larger screen, making it even easier to use.

I love this thing! I had a little trouble figuring out how to set it for the type of slide/film I wanted to scan, but after I got that, I have already scanned over 300 slides with no problem. Images are easy to manipulate (flip or mirror) as well. Would buy this again.

Easy to set up and use. We have started converting slides from the 1960's. Follow instructions. Don't forget to order the photo card to save to if needed.
