🎞️ Magnasonic Super 8/8mm Film Scanner - Convert Film to Digital Video, 2.3" Display, Digitize & View 3", 5", 7" Super 8/8mm Movie Reels (FS81) Review

Frame by frame converts fine as I wanted. For some reason regular 8mm is better than super 8mm. A larger screen would be nice, as it's not always easy to adjust the bezel and other resolution and brightness controls. It would be a plus if it had a temporary storage option so that if an interruption occurs and a connection is needed the movie can be played back and the end result is just one file. It would also be helpful if it had an outlet to connect to the big screen when converting so…

There are several 8mm digital scanners on the market and it was a good price. I have to run thousands of meters and so far this has worked pretty well.

I had some issues with the double spool stopping for me so I replaced the plastic spool that came with it with the metal spool I had laying around and the problem got a lot better, but it still stopped when the…

After reading all the reviews which turned out to be pretty good I decided to buy this scanner. I have 4000ft of Super 8 film that I want to convert. first I will give my impression of the characteristics; It's advertised as having multiple settings for exposure, brightness, and frame alignment, which is true, but you can't make those settings before you start scanning. You have to do a test run, remove the SD card and play it on a PC or something and make adjustments, rescan and reproduce to…

Overall - I was very pleased with the quality of the product. Basically, what is described is what you get. It takes a little patience until the first drums get the hang of it. Especially part of the frame customization process. The device makes setup pretty easy for you, but that's just the way the film has to be fed through the scanner. Since you're actually watching decades-old film that can break, etc., you'll find that after about 20 frames, that's not the case when you think the alignment
