KODAKSlide N SCAN Film & Slide Scanner Digitizer with 5” LCD Screen, Quickly Convert Negatives & Slides to Digital 22MP JPEG Photos, Compatible with 135, 126 and 110 Film & Slides

It works well - as advertised. I really like the idea of only needing USB voltage to operate it until you decide to transfer the images. Then, of course, the USB cable needs to be from a computer. Then the scanner looks like just another USB drive.Beyond that, the scanner is limited in post scan operations - some brightness and color but these are limited. Along with that it can’t adjust focus, it can’t order or index the scanned and stored images. In addition, if you want to change image names they must first be copied to another drive. If you edit names in the scanner the images will still be there but they will not display.All in all, it’s easy to use, no setup is needed and it’s a small independent device with a nice viewing screen. For quality results it’s best to also have a photo app handy on your computer.

I'm so happy with this little device! As soon as it arrived I tested a 35mm color negative. It's really simple to use, as soon as you set up the scanner and slide in the negative, you can see the image immediately on the screen. It's so enjoyable and quick and the quality exceeded my expectations. You do need to buy a 32GB SD card or 32GB SDHC card. It will not work with larger GB or with SDXC cards.Setup:Plug in the USB-C/USB cable (provided) into the scanner. USB-C side goes into the scanner, and the USB side goes into to your PC or to a wall adapter. Insert the SD card in the back of the scanner (right next to the USB-C slot). Open the hinged slide holder and insert the adapter for 135mm, 126mm or 110mm depending on what film you are using, and then snap it closed again. The manual shows you how to align the adapter inside the hinged holder. If you are scanning slides you won't need an adapter, you will just need the slide holder. Insert the slide holder into the slot on the right side of the scanner. The arrow on the slide holder should be pointing toward the scanner. About an inch will still be visible, sticking out of the slot. This is where you insert the film.How to use:Press the power button (it must be plugged in to PC or wall using the USB cable to power on). Press the large OK button on the front to select film type. Use right/left arrows on the top of the machine to select film type and then click OK. Select the film size and click OK. Make sure your film is right side up, and slide the negative into the slide holder on the right side of the scanner. Smile when you see your image on the screen! You will need to adjust the film so that the image is centered on the scanner, and then press the large OK button again. Slide the film further in until you can see the next image. Press OK to scan. Once you can't push the film in any further, you can insert the next piece of film and it will push the first one through and out the left side. I found a few times where the film was curved and wouldn't go in past the first image. If this happens you can remove the slide holder from the scanner, insert the film into the holder while gently pressing down on the first image. It should slide through and you can reinsert the holder into the scanner with film already in it. It takes about 2 seconds for the image to scan.Transferring photos to your PC. You have 2 options - you can remove the SD card and insert it directly into your laptop/PC if it has a slot. If not you can connect the scanner to your PC using the USB cable (provided) while the SD card is still in the scanner. This will bring up a USB device on your PC and you can see all of the images. They are given file names based on the order you scan them. I have scanned over 1,000 images on the SD card so far.Quality: The quality of the images is better than I expected. For sure up to 8x10 prints would be high quality, I'm attaching a scanned image so you can see. Also please note in the scanned image I didn't center the negative properly. If you are moving too quickly through the images this can happen, so it's good to view the images periodically in case you need to rescan anything. Make sure you keep the film dust free, and also make sure the scanner is dust free. It comes with a cleaning brush that can be inserted into the slot where the slide holder goes to clean out dust. Do this with the soft part of the brush facing down. I didn't do this at first and some of the images ended up with some marks from the dust.

This product was very easy and simple to use. I had a bunch of slides I got from my parents house with pictures of my dad’s two years in Italy from 1977 and it digitized them like a dream and I was able to digitize about 500 slides in a few hours. It was a fast and easy process. The scanner was very light and small and feels cheap, but works well. The quality of the pictures were really good too.I gave the product 4 stars because every time I transferred the pictures to my computer, I would have to turn off the scanner and turn it back on to keep scanning (I was scanning in batches to keep better track of the order of pictures). When I was done transferring the pictures, I’d push the film button again on the scanner and the screen would freeze up. Turning it off and then on again fixed the problem. I don’t know off it’s a product problem or a something is wrong with my specific scanner

This great product has allowed me to finally get the several thousand high quality Kodachrome slides that I took while serving in Europe back in the 1980’s, digitized on my MacBook! It was a relatively quick and easy process that saved me a lot of money and worry, verses having to send the irreplaceable images out to a 2nd party! I highly recommend this economical, well designed, and easy to use product!
