I am using mostly to convert 80's pictures to digital. Scanning is relatively fast, maybe 10 seconds a picture, probably less. I have scanned negatives, pictures and slides. The Adobe photo software works flawlessly. The pictures are not as sharp as the pictures I take with my Nikon D5000, I did not expect them to be that sharp. But you will enjoy seeing some pics that have been sitting in a shoe box for 30 years.

This scanner has potential but after scanning a dozen slides a "capture error - restart computer" displayed -- again and again. After an hour of trying to fix this error, I've given up. This is going back and I'm sticking with known brands that have proper driver support. Spend the extra few bucks and buy one that works!

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
Product scans slides nicely but had to use a photo edit program to actually see the scanned image because "Adobe Photo Elements 5.0" did not come with the scanner. Nobody would respond to emails.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
Honestly this machine was easy to use. Read the instructions, insert the disc and download, plug in the machine and start scanning. I was able to scan approx. 1000 slides in about 4hours. I have greatly enjoyed using this machine. Think i will keep it wish it came with a couple more slide holders could have moved faster.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
I wanted to digitize about 1000 slides that my father had taken 50-60 years ago.
The software was quick to setup on my Windows 7
64 bit system and the scanning process is very
straightforward.
I have not tried either the negative scanner
nor the photo scanner but will likely use those
in the future.
Slide scan quality is good (not great) but then these slides are quite old and the color has faded some over the years so this may be more a reflection on the quality of the slides than of the scanner.
The slide tray takes a little getting used to so that you get the slide positioned properly for scanning, but this was not really a problem.

I have never ordered anything that was so easy to install and use as this product. I have used it already to store slides and am anxious to do the same with prints. Yes, I am very pleased and will recommend it to others.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
I've never used a product like this before but it's a pretty awesome piece of technology. The software was a little confusing to install but it does come with instructions and it works on a mac. I like that you don't have to plug the ImageBox into the wall, you just have to connect it to your computer. Scanned images are clear and true to their original color. Easy to use and good results.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
I am scanning my slide collection on to my computer. Also some old photos that I have. Using the Image Box Digital Scanner to do this is truly a one touch operation. The setup could not have been any easier. The directions were clear & easy to follow. I would heartily recommend this producy to any hobbyist.
I just wish that a second slide holder was included, as that would speed up the scanning process.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
My 15 year old daughter is the one who uses the scanner. She is scanning old prints to make a video montage. It worked well. Some of the older pictures didn't come out crisp, but they definitely beat having to scan them individually on my printer and resize on the pc. Quick and easy to use.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
[...]The ImageBox is very easy to use, with only a single USB cable to plug into the PC. It gets all the power it needs from the USB port.All I have scanned so far are slides. The slides scan very well, but it does take a bit of time quite similar to a flat table scanner though.All in all, I am quite pleased with the ImageBox for the cost.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
Item was very easy to install and I began using it within 10 minutes of taking it out of the box. Captures images very well for only costing [$]. Some of the darker slides did not come out so well, so, those are the only ones I am not able to get a decent digital copy from. Otherwise, it is excellent! I have mostly used it for slides so far but, I have scanned some negatives as well and they seem to come out even better.

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
I wanted to convert old photos (b&w, slides, pre-digital 4x6) to manage family history and create new digital photo books. This scanner was out of the box, easy to install software, easy to use. I am really happy with the pictures scanned! Haven't gotten to the slides, but just for pictures it is great! Ordering through B&H Photo online was a delight - no hassles! 3 friends are now interested in buying this device!

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
[...] Read the instructions and everything seemed pretty straight forward, started to load the software and had problems with the disk, it would not load on either a windows xp system or a windows vista system. That was the bad news, but spoke with the tech support person and she was extremely helpful. She walked me thru the download of an updated software package. I have installed on both computers and scanned photos , slides and negatives without any problems. Have worked mostly with slides on the xp machine, have done over 1200 images without missing a beat!!!!

Wanted to use this scanner for exactly what it says it will do. I have tried unsuccessfully to use and install three times over the past year. It never has worked. The computer cannot find the scanner. I had XP when I first bought it and now I have Windows 7, it won't connect. It is being junked as we speak!

Comments about Pacific Image ImageBox Film/Slide/Photo To Digital Scanner:
My husband is able to use this product so easily. The set up was simple and the options for pictures, slides and negatives makes it something that we will use often.
Having only 4 slides at a time in the scanner makes scanning YEARS of slides fairly tedious.

Mostly use to scan 35mm film. Works well, with very little effort.
A bit time consuming, but all models in this range are.
If you are looking for a simple way to convert old pic into digital formats, you should consider this product.
