Review on πŸ“Έ High-Resolution Film Scanner & Slide Viewer: Convert 35mm Film & Slides to Digital JPEG on SD Card - No Computer/Software Needed! by Dave Russell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Affordable scanner with unique features.

When an inexpensive product can be easily customized to do exactly what you need and achieve good results, it deserves five stars! This is a very small, well-designed device, which in my case, as seen in the photo, sits on a home-built wooden platform whose sole purpose is to simplify the task of digitizing several thousand 35mm slides. The platform raises the scanner, making room for a box to catch the ejected slide, and a support under the slide stacker that holds the scanner in place when you need to push loaded slides to even out warped or uneven slides that could oppose entry. With this setup I can scan about 20 slides per minute. All other devices I've checked use the same holder for four slides, which considering loading and unloading times could do four in a minute. The screen is small, a price paid for the overall compact design, but the included cable can be plugged into the AV input of any TV or monitor. The fact that scanned images are stored as JPGs on the SD card means you don't have to worry about software. The quality of the scanned image is quite good and adjustments can be made. For my purposes, to save maximum bandwidth, all editing is done on the PC.
