Downloaded the latest driver and still Windows 7 would not reconize the scanner. Old and outdated.

This scanner produces good reproductions of my slides and films, the software has nice features for correcting color/contrast etc.

Is slow and the resolution is poor. However is cheap and portable.

I used it with the software included and the result was terrible. Then, I installed Vuescan and it was a success. Good bit depth and good resolution. It´s slow but I think is a good scanner for this price.

This scanner won't make great images out of bad slides or negatives. You have to experiment with the slide and film types to get the color right and it is a little slow. All that being said, it produces good images from slides and negative that can be printed 4x6. If you need to scan some old slides or negatives, this scanner will give you good images without breaking the bank.

This is a great scanner for the money. It scans well and relatively quickly. The scanner has trouble with darker slides though. I also found that the software included is lousy. I downloaded vuescan and ended up buying it. The scans I am getting using Vuescan with this scanner are incredible. I have scanned about 100 slides so far and they are all great. Other reviewers complain about the scanner working and just quitting. They don't know how to use a computer or understand what USB ports are all about. If you know how to use a computer and are willing to spend the 80 bucks on Vuescan, you have a great scanner for film.

I bought this scanner a few years ago, and I struggled to get good scans. Recently, I downloaded the latest scanning software from Pacific Image, and what a difference! I get GREAT scans from this little device, good enough that I'm going to use my old Nikon camera system until slide film is no longer available. It's that good! But, you have to get the latest scanning software. For those that are disappointed, don't give up! Just spend a little more time with it!

I have used it with b/w film and the scans look alright if used along with a third-party scanning software, the one that comes with the scanner is horrible. I would rather recommend buying a film compatible flatbad scanner in the same price range.

this product is cheap and immature - the software is attrocious, often timing out and dying. The scans themselves show a remarkable fuzziness 0- sharp slides become dull images. Either spend lots more money for a Nikon or use a professional service. this device disappoints

This scanner is touted as a great buy, but it's color transfer lacks quality.The scanner film/slide holder is difficult to line up slides.Tonal quality also is far from what I expected.If I had it all to do over I'd purchase a different scanner.

Problems Encountered: Tonal quality is poorcolor quality is terrible

Picked this up to archive some family slides, as well as to convert film negatives to digital. Does well with black and white negatives, not so well with color. As for slides... after playing with different settings I find that the color still isn't very good.
