Scanner seemed to be a good idea. As I was unwrapping the item, first thing I noticed was the plastic photo plate was massively scratched up. Looks like somebody like it was slid across concrete. Several reviews had mentioned this problem, other said theirs was not scratched. Why they did not use a piece of glass instead of plastic is questionable.never even tried turning on the unit, instant return.

This is the best thing I’ve bought in a long time it will save me so much money. When my mom passed away she had a lot of negatives and now I can see who it is and I can have the ones developed that I know. The quality is amazing I definitely got my money’s worth.

Bought it to put together a slide show for a Celebration of Life get together. Easy to use and made good quality pictures for slide show. Will continue to use for other projects.

My only dislike is: the cover gets captured in detail, so I’m having to edit each photo. Other than that I think this scanner is awesome!! User friendly, affordable. I used it to make a family reunion slide show. Thanks

Easy to use. Works great for old slides and negatives. The photo portion uses the glass plate. Mine was very scratched producing a less than optimum scan. You can see the poor resolution and scratches on the picture. I reached out to the manufacturer to see if could purchase a new glass, but was told to return the unit to Amazon.

NOTE: I only used this for printed photos; I did not try using the negative scanner, so please keep that in mind while reading my thoughts.I loved the idea of this photo scanner. And on first try, it seemed like it would be wonderful. It was easy to figure out and operate. But the main thing about it that I liked so much was the fact that you can see on the screen how the photo looks BEFORE capturing it in a scan. That means you can adjust the positioning and know if it’s crooked etc - the screen shows in real time whatever appears on the scanning surface, whereas with a traditional scanner, you can’t see until it takes the scan and shows you the finished product, meaning it may or may not be crooked, upside down, knocked out of place when closing the lid, etc (of course that’s part of what editing software is for, but personally I’d prefer to minimize making those simple fixes where possible). I think that’s a great feature and I really enjoyed that about this product.However, the actual scan quality was AWFUL. I’m not a professional, but I know how to do basic photo editing, and certain fixes that are probably beyond a beginner level. I tried adjusting the settings on the scanner itself (which reflects in real time on the screen; again, great feature in theory), as well as going in and trying different fixes on the photos after scanning them. But whatever I tried, I could not get the photo scans I got from this scanner to look good, or even “okay.” The scans were all blurry and washed out, and even if I did figure out a way to fix it on the editing side, that was way more work than I was willing to put into it for the sake of digitizing family photos.I think one of the biggest problems was the quality of the scan surface. It’s made of cheap plastic, and just in the process of trying to figure out how the scanner worked, it became very scratched up (I was careful because I had seen some previous reviews that mentioned this). Those scratches also seemed to be part of the problem with scan quality.I decided to send this product back after a few hours of messing around with settings etc. It has some potentially really nice features, but they were executed poorly and cheaply. I found a similar product (though no negative scanner) in the same price range that has been wonderful in ease of use and scan quality. If you’re looking at this for photos, I would not recommend. If you’re looking at it for negatives, I can’t advise on that, but make sure you check other reviews that DO talk about that feature.

This review is long overdue! I had some issues with the first item I received and I worked with the customer service to to fix the problem I was having but the solutions didn’t work so they sent me a replacement. It took me at least a month to be able to test the new one and more time to provide feedback. I can say that the new one works well and produces good quality images. It’s also very easy to use and it’s very portable. I like that I can easily transfer digital copies from the internal memory to my laptop and I can do some image enhancements while I’m scanning photos and negatives. The quality of the photos I’m scanning is often poor but I’m able to scan them and produce a version that works well for me.

This product is easy to use and captures great images from negatives and slides even black and white. Very easy to process films rapidly with the included trays. Scans of photos are more difficult. It is hard to align the photos on the scanner bed but once aligned the quality is good.
