This seems better then a camera attachment I have tryed.It seems a little faster on the transfering of slides. Wish it came with a better manual, too small type. Also a better photo editing software, and more info on brighting and darking of slides for better prints to be made. Also if there were Positive slide holders available for purchase, it would help speed up the process by having two people working on the project.

I am thrilled. My dad passed away a few years ago and all his old family photos were on 35 mm slides. Not likely I'll be setting up his old projector to see these, but now I can see them and make CDs for family members. I am absolutely delighted! Best thing I've found in years at Brookstone. THANK YOU!!!!!!

I am reviewing slides made in the 1950s and 1960s that are not easily observed because 35mm slide projectors are no longer in vogue. We do not sit down as a group to review the slides; however, individually we might review the slides on our computers if they are digitized. This product makes it happen!

Bought this for my 82-year-old dad, so he could scan in old slides. He got it working on his own, although he did point out the mechanism for the slides is rather difficult and fragile. He needed my help to figure out where the scanned in slides were on his computer, which I got by googling the model number and looking through the manual.

Simple to set-up and use. While the editing program is very good, would recommend a slide cleaner (e.g. compressed air and brush) to get surface dust off of slide/negative before scanning for great initial clarity.

Better than claimed by seller.

Pros:
Easy To Use, Godsent
Best Uses:
Organizing photos
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This gadget will save my vast collection of slides and film that date back over 60 years, My results have been better than expected because my photos had always been protected from dust, etc. Surprisingly, if they were good quality when exposed, the get transferred with good quality.

The Mfr's instructions fall short of its capabilities. They told me to keep the scanner unplugged when not in use to prolong the life of the bulb inside. Also, opening the slots is easy once you do the first one correctly -- starting at the middle and then doing the sides.

I have transferred slides and both color and B&W film, editing them without any difficulty.

I have hundreds of old slides that need to be reviewed and stored. This provides a reasonable means to store them in a digital manner and then make them clean and crisp and easy to show to family. I have some slides that are over 50 years old and this method allows me to make them look like new and make everyone young again.

Had 1700 slides that were quickly fading. This brought them into My Pictures very easily but I had a difficult time trying to copy them onto a DVD. Sure could have used some instructions. I also had to uninstall the software and install it again everytime I turned on the program - don't know whether it was me or the program, but overall it was quite easy for a novice like me to do!!!!

Bottom Line:

This is a great little product to get all those old slides organized on the computer. One of the down sides to this machine is it would be nice to have more than one slide tray so you could have more than one set of 3 slides ready to scan. The slide tray is made of plastic and is difficult to open and close. Also, I was under the impression this was a motorized unit but you have to manually "push" the slide tray through the scanner. Overall, it is a nice tool to have but could use some improvement

Getting started can be a little tricky. Beware of making duplicates! I found the transfer not the same quality as the slide itself. Using Paint Shop or other editor tools helps. This can be extremely time consuming when you are transferring hundreds of slides! Be careful when using the cleaning tool. I scratched the lens without any effort. I recommend transferring in the highest quality catagory with every slide. I will recommend this product to capture lost memories but, don't expect exact duplication.

I was delighted to find such a useful product. I have seen scanners that will produce pictures from negatives, but the simplicity and user-friendliness of this product has been a lifesaver. Simply inserting a negative slide, pushing a button, and saving a photograph on the computer is awesome! I've pulled out my drawer full of negatives and have found pictures I forgot existed. They are wonderful to be able to transfer immediately to a digital photo frame.

The only minor flaw is, it's not obvious when the scan of a slide is complete. For some scans, I've been able to watch as the image builds in the preview window and others are so fast that I cannot identify the end point. Otherwise, a wonderful product that meets my needs.

Having been born in the 50's, most of the pictures made of me in my younger years were slides. This device has enabled me to capture a digital file from each slide to make prints, enhance, publish, etc. Having these memories is priceless, since there are very few prints of my early years. It is very easy to use.

I am so happy I am able to preserve all my families slides dating back to 1957. The slide tray only holds 3 slides at a time making it somewhat time consuming. It would be nice to have two trays to use of each (slide and negative). It took me awhile to figure out how to work the computer program but my slides are coming out looking like the picture was just taken.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

i was able to copy all 35mm negatives back to the early 1950s and even copied parts of larger negatives from the early 1920s from our family photo collection. the quality was exceptional.
i wish they made a universal scanner like this one that would work on larger sizes.Great product and would highly recommend.

Wow, I love how it scanned the negatives! The slides are grainy, but that could be from being in storage for 40 years. It is easy to use, small, and easy to set up. I am thrilled!

With all the new technology, this will help us to organize the last 45 year's worth of photos and slides and help to clear out some some of our storage spaces! We can now minimize how we store our pictoral family history.

What once was lost is now alive again! All your old slides - can now be digitzed! All your old negatives can come out of the boxes and envelopes -- and onto your computer - so they can be put in slideshows - emails - or screensavers. How awesome - and inexpensive!

Easy to use, but tough with Vista
By MikeVerified Reviewer from Boston on 2/18/2008
Pros:
Easy To Use, Improves Product Function, Lightweight

Not Functional

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the only unit I have seen to do slides to PC. I got it from Brookstone because they said it worked with Vista. It does but Vista is of course awful.
I found that doing the slides was very intuitive and not hard to do. Uploading was a problem and took 45 sec per slide.
I do admit I think that it is a Vist issue. I have gone back to XP and expect that it will be fine there.

 
EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY to see History!

Keeping in mind the quality will only be as good as the original picture, this product is WONDERFUL. I am now scanning pictures from the 1950's on up from my father's old slides, viewers and negatives into my computer...pictures that would have been LOST to the family without this product.
Hint...when the picture is in the machine it will automatically make it lighter every 2-3seconds. MAke sure you save it at the brightness you like best and don't let it get too light. Keep watching it! You can always take it out of the machine and do it again.
I also don't always use the slide trays provided because some of the slides are in metal casings. I put those in alone and they come out great!!

Enjoy this product because it is the easiest and best one I have used so far and I have tried several!!!!
