While cleaning out my storage locker I came across a box of slides I'd completely forgotten about. They were taken during my tour of duty in Vietnam and I hadn't seen them in decades. I have a funky old slide viewer so could look at some of them and I was anxious to scan them so I could share them on social media. After reading reviews of several scanners I decided on this one. It was a bit more expensive than some of the others but I decided it was worth it. When it arrived I got it all charged up and started scanning. I went through a whole carousel of slides in about and hour and even scanned a strip of old color negatives that were transformed into positive images! I was then able to transfer everything into my computer. The scanner comes with a photo enhancing software but I have Photoshop was was able to tweak the images to my liking. Some were taken with an old Instamatic before I purchased a 35mm so they needed some help. I highly recommend this scanner for all your slides and negatives. I only tried the photo scanner once and it seems a bit limited only doing smaller photos. My printer is also a scanner so I have that option.The scanner handles several sizes of film so no matter what you have on hand it will work.

This is a good little scanner for those who want to digitize old photos and slides. For slides and negatives it works very well. In fact the negatives show up as positives on the viewer, making it easy to decide if you want it. For photos, it works well although there one drawback. To scan, you pick up the body from the base and lay the photo in the base. Put the body back on and scan. Old photos tend to curl, and there is no way to flatten them for scanning. Also, the directions are not well written. In my case, I had some trouble making it work initially. I contacted the company directly, and they were very responsive, which counts for a lot. Also, this scanner includes the 32G memory card, while many others I looked at do not. I think the price is a little bit higher than it should be, but that's just me.

This product is easy to use and does exactly what it says it does - make electronic copies of your photos. Can scan in the base, or remove base and put copier directly over the photo. 4 x 6 is maximum size though. One of the great things that happened to me was the product support from the company. I could not find the SIM card. I inquired at the address in the booklet and received a response within a few hours. I looked all over for it but could not find it. The company Rep by the name of Tyler shipped me a replacement within 48 hours. I have never had such great service from a company. Four stars plus for this device and company behind it.

This ClearClick image scanner was purchased (initially) for the creation of the ultimate Christmas gift. Family members *truly* enjoy having their decades-old slides & photos available in electronic format.It is relatively labor intensive to work through any project of this type, but where there is a will, there is a way. No doubt, the ClearClick streamlined the entire process and produced amazing results. Where professional digitizing services charge (on average) ~$1/slide or photo, this unit will far exceed its price tag value when you have hundreds to thousands of photographic memories. If you can allocate the time doing the work, yourself, then just do it.Couple of notes:- if scanning slides, use canned-air to remove dust particles prior to each scan. It's well worth the effort, you don't want to have to redo anything. I went through 2 cans, cleaning ~900 slides. I eventually picked up an electric handheld, dust-blower/remover since canned-air can be pricey. At present, I still have a over a few thousand slides yet to scan.- If scanning boxes of slides, carousels of slides, or envelopes of photos:-- Just a suggestion: do one entire box/envelope/slide-carousel at a time. I moved them after each completed batch to a computer.-- I named them using the slide/photo film development date and slide/photo number (when available), using a naming scheme of '___.jpg, so '1971_08__15.jpg' as an example. Where there was more than one box with same developing dates, I suffixed the month with a letter, ex: '1971_08b__15.jpg' which was slide 15 from the second box. Moving the image files off from the scanner card (using USB mode on the ClearClick) and renaming the jpeg files right away eliminated any potential for confusion of what had already been scanned.- Scanning one slide/photo does take ~1-2 seconds, as indicated.- Scanning photos while they're still in the plastic of an album 'works' but the rows of scanner LEDs could sometimes be seen on the top and bottom of the finished scan. Removing them from the plastic, while it adds more time, is well-worth the effort. You only want to "have to" scan your photos one time, in my opinion.- The ClearClick on-screen menu took a little bit to get used to, but it's relatively intuitive. I only used the brightness and RGB color adjustments a small handful of times. Keep in mind that each of those color adjustment settings remains 'set' until the unit's power is cycled or if you go back in to reset them.- I haven't tried the HDMI 'preview via a TV' feature, but that is certainly a bonus. The screen on the unit worked for my needs.- The included 32GB SD card was more than enough. Image files were, on average, 3-4MB in size using the 22MP setting. The ~900 jpeg files were ~3GB, in total.

If you have piles and piles , and then some more piles of old slides from the 60s, 70s or 80s, and/or lots of piles of random pictures lying around the house getting dusty.... then this little scanner is totally for you! Easy to use, you'll be up and running in no time, laughing away and reliving lots of old forgotten memories from years gone by, or get a glimpse into the younger years of your parents/grandparents. Get some handy assistants, as it does take time to scan each item or group of items, but it's an amazing way to declutter, consolidate, digitize, and enjoy the images that you would otherwise not get to!

Disappointed that the internal lights reflect and show in the photo scan around one edge. These were 4x6 and couldn't position photo or scanner in such a way to avoid it. I don't feel like cropping 100's of photos that I plan to scan. Smaller photo sizes don't reflect light but then you get the tray as image border.I do like that it's mobile and easy to use. The slide scanner works well but I would have returned it had I not missed the return window. .oops.

Para tomar las imágenes de un álbum es complicado y con se obtiene una resolución buena, no lo recomendaría

It was working just fine. I got 3 reels done. Then I plugged into my laptop and it wouldn’t work as the USB connection fell inside the unit..there was no way to open it..I contacted the company though and they are sending me another unit.

Exactly as described. Have just started using...I have old odd shaped negatives (from the mid 1950s) so they didn’t fit exactly, but I trimmed the edges and it works perfect! So excited to see the pictures.
