An easy way to digitize old priceless memories. Doesn't require a computer

How many of you still have 35mm film? My parents do! How about 4"x6" and 5"x7" prints? Yes of course! Going digital took a lot of time: I had to take the prints, glue them onto 8" x 10" sheets, scan them at work, send the resulting PDF home and edit/crop with Photoshop. Scanning film was not an option because I didn't have the equipment, so I started looking for a digitizer that could scan film as well as prints. and 3x5, 4x6 and 5x7 prints - Easy to use - Fairly fast scanning - Can scan an entire roll of film at once - Save to SD cards - Built-in LCD to preview scanned images before saving - Save as JPEG files so that you can share them - 14 megapixel image sensor produces pretty good scans - Doesn't require a computer (so images are stored on an SD card and can be read by Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.) CONS - Expensive, but comparable to a similar one Scanner by Kodak (but Kodak can't scan prints) - There are grammatical errors in the manual but it was easy to understand - Can only scan one print at a time but can handle a full roll of film. Overall, despite the high price tag for this type of device, this does what I need and does it very well. The ability to preserve precious memories is PRICELESS.

Pros
  • Slide and negative scanner
Cons
  • Expensive
