Review on Wolverine F2D8 8 MP 35mm Slides/Negatives Scanner (Old Version): Preserve Your Memories with High-Quality Scans by Cyrus Wright

I've been looking for a way to load my films onto my computer for years, but I can't bring myself to pay more than $400 for a real slide scanner . As mentioned, this device is not a real scanner, but a digital camera in a box. It's small, plastic, and frankly looks like a toy. However, it works quite well if you are not very picky. The resulting images are 3600x2400 pixels, which is not bad for use on a computer or TV screen, and can stand up to printing (haven't tried it yet). My only complaint at the moment is that it crops images a bit left and right and tends to scan images too dark for my liking. The latter can be easily adjusted via the settings on the device. There's nothing you can do about the first one except be careful how much of the image you're allowed to crop. The images are also a bit noisy. You should process them in an image adjustment software. I use iPhoto on Mac and it's more than enough. In USB mode, iPhoto recognized the device and launched like any other camera. All in all, it might not be a true $400 slide scanner, but then you didn't pay that much either.
