It works .......

 

Use better software and you get better results. Its basic stuff, use care in using it. Takes time to load and unload slides. I didnt try to update, upgrade, or get drivers from site. Just used included disk. Works on win xp sp3, didnt try win 7 yet.

ok first off I have the model VFS-002 that newegg stopped carrying. But they are similar. These things work and work pretty good. Does the job and nothing more. USB powered

inexpensive and requires labor. Limited in its tech ability. Software included is poor

Worst Photo purchase this year.

 

Worst Photo purchase this year.

I purchased scanner to move 35mm negatives and slides to digital. I had scanned several previously using a template on a flat bed scanner. The results were far superior to this dedicated product. Very difficult to center negative in holder above light...

Veho 5 MP 35 MM Slide Scanner

Installation process could be better documented and therefore easier. Scanner should be able to identify that a USB 2.0 was not the connection. Software should be able to detect the presence of other Arcsoft products and eliminate contention.

Veho VFS-004 35mm slide and negative Scanner

 

So I'm keeping what I have…perhaps I can get Veho to give me instructions on how to open the unit then I can replace the door and clean the optics….then I will be very happy. I'm still giving this a 5 based on results and price. Frankly don't see...

I'm satisfied with the results and the price is right

To start I tried to get the latest veho driver off the web set like Ken suggested only there isn't any drivers. So I used the drivers from the CD sent with the unit. First problem was computer had the blue screen of death when calibrating the scanner....

Works for me!

 

cheapest way to get a workable scan that I've found and install the latest driver from the website FIRST, then plug in the scanner.

I have (like most anyone reading this review) a pile of old slides that I'd like digitized ; This device does what it says, and does a fine job (for the money, it's 5 stars) ; I read a lot of reviews on other sites saying the Veho4 scans are very dark...

Difficult to get a good scan off a 40 year old negative, but let's blame Kodak film, not the scanner ; Again, adjustments in the scanning process are minimal, use a decent photo editing software [Photoshop ; Comes with Photoimpression, which seems to...

Bad purchase

 

Bad purchase

I purchased this scanner for a Christmas gift from ANTonline. When we finally tried to hook it up it wouldn't work. I've been in contact with the manufactuer for over a month trying to figure it out. The Manufactuerer is willing to return it, but...

Don't buy this one!

 

Don't buy this one!

Contrary to the previous review our experience was completely negative. Impossible to decipher poorly written manual (different versions online and with product); took three highly competent geeks over an hour to decide it was unworkable. Not...

Buy this and email your old Polaroids!

 

Buy this and email your old Polaroids!

The scanner allows you to put the old negatives into digital photo files, so it's great for any photographer, who's older than 30 and had been involved with cameras before the digital craze took over. A must have for all classic camera purists! No need...

Veho VFS-004 review

 

The Veho VFS-004 Deluxe Negative & Slide Scanner is a standalone USB device dedicated to 35mm slides and negatives.

In our book, simple can be very good. The mainly manual Veho VFS-004 isn't the height of sophistication, but if you want to transfer your collection of slides or negatives to hard drive, the results should be much faster and of a higher quality than...

Veho - VFS-004

 

Flatbed scanners are fine for paper documents and photo prints, but unless they have a built-in transparency adapter in the lid, they're of little use for negatives or slides. Specialist transparency scanners usually cost several hundred ...

The Veho VFS-004 is a good, budget slide scanner. It's extremely easy to set up and use, versatile in what it can scan and produces sufficiently high-quality results for most general uses. It may be a little basic in operation, with no powered feed or...
