Review on πŸ“Έ Transform Your Memories: VuPoint Solutions Digital Film and Slide Converter (FC-C520-VP) by Vedavyas Fleming

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great for scanners

This does a great job of converting your old 35mm slides to JPEG on your computer. You need to put the slides in the tray 3 at a time and then run them through the machine one by one. This work is slow and tedious, but the resulting images are very sharp when viewed on a computer screen or other device, and in JPEG format, making it easy to email or burn to DVD, where in general excellent results are achieved. My advice is to set this up so that you can leave it on and come back to it from time to time throughout the day and run multiple slides at once. Sitting there for hours doing this can be very tiring. If you can afford it, hire a little kid to do it for you. Any average ten-year-old can master this machine in ten minutes. Be sure to purchase a high capacity SD card such as that used in your digital camera. Just plug it into this device and you're done. It comes with a cable that allows you to send images straight to your TV screen, allowing you to create an old-fashioned slideshow, but I don't recommend that. At this size, the images are not very clear and the process is too slow and tedious. Your audience will fall asleep (or disappear in the dark).

Pros
  • Digital images are stored in JPEG or TIFF format for easy viewing on the scanner's 2.4" TFT LCD; No computer required to convert images when saving to memory card
Cons
  • Long delivery time
