You can find better.

This was the first slide scanner I bought for personal use. Scan results were acceptable for A4 sized prints and web use. Two gripes with this scanner - the flimsy build quality and average image quality. My scanner would often choke when moving the...

DOA - Dead on Arrival - and NO support available

I bought this scanner to do several hundred family slides. I found a refurbished one, and was able to get that with my limited budget. The scanner came in an old box, and without the original packing - unlike other refurbished items I've bought before;...

I was very disappointed in this scanner. It's extremley lightweight and has a cheap feel. When operating, it emits a number of noises and vibrations, all of which reinforce the impression of cheapness. It uses a USB bus, and will operate very slowly...
