DIGITNOW 22MP All-in-1 Film & Slide Scanner, Converts 35mm 135 110 126 and Super 8 Films/Slides/Negatives to Digital JPG Photos, Built-in 128MB Memory, 2.4 LCD Screen

It is exactly as described. Light weight and small. Fits neatly in one hand. Works great as I sat watching TV while scanning 35mm negatives. The limited instructions are a little confusing at first. With only 5 buttons it doesn't take long to figure things out. Start with the power. After turning it on, you can change the scan from 14mp to 22 mp. You have options to watch play back. Select the Camera icon by pressing the "OK" button. This enters the Capture mode. Once there you load the film into the proper plastic protector. After several attempts fighting with the cover door to the negative adapter, I decided to forgo taking it in and out of the scanner. Instead I pushed each film strip in from the left and moved through the negatives with ease. From the 32 GB memory card, the color view panel shows that I have room for 10,000 pics. The negative was bigger than the scan view but not by much. If printing out 4 x 6 in photos, you may lose 1/4 in on the left or right side depending on how you slide the negative to scan. Once you have it lined up, press the SCAN button. From there you can enter the edit mode to fix colors or contrast. I chose to leave this to photo editing software instead. If you're happy with the scan, press OK, as the highlighted icon on the screen is asking to SAVE the image. Saving takes approximately 4 seconds while a little yellow hour glass appears over the image. The top right corner counter marks the number of saved scans and the remaining quantity. Everything is on the SD card and you can leave it there or move it to a computer. Simple. I have intentions of scanning hundreds of thousands of negatives. I have no idea how long this lightweight plastic will hold out. I also plan to give the little lamp a break to cool down as well.

I was a little skeptical about ordering this. It didn't take me long to do it, when I checked in on the high cost of the advertising companies I had seen on Facebook and on TV. I figured if they could get a converter, so could I and save hundreds or more dollars in cost. Well, I haven't regretted buying this little dream Converterfrom from Amazon.I had a larger one by Digitnow, I had used before, but it required software which I have conveniently misplaced. This one does the job quiet fair, but some pictures do not come out with true color. That is not related to the converter not doing it's job, no, that is the age of the slides and film. Mine are over 40 + years old. I do not have a problem with that. I have editing in my Windows Photo Viewer. It has the capability of clearing the slides, adding correct coler, tint, etc to make me happy. This converter uses no software, which is great, for I can use the slide compartment from my other Digitnow Converter, you will see it in my picture. It holds about 30 slides and all I did was insert it in the smaller Digitnow Converter, insert slides with the lever, upload to the SD Card, insert card into my laptop and upload slides to it. Now I put the pictures on a DVDR Disc for saving. Wala! It is so easy to use, does a great job on slides, film and I saved a lot of money. Before you spend a the high cost of letting a company digitize and place your memories on a DVD-R, pick this little gem up, do it yourself and put your money to better use.

I found some old slides and wanted to digitize them. I took a chance on this device because of price and megapixels.. Once I figured out how to get in and out of the menus (the documentation wasn't great) the thing worked fine. My slides were all over 50 years old, so I can't really say how good the quality was since my source pictures were mediocre at best, but they look pretty good to me. Once I got in the groove as far as scanning, I was able to complete about 700 slides in about 3 hours, and that was with stopping every few dozen to copy them to the PC and clear my SD card since I had them in separate bunches and wanted to keep those groupings once on the PC. Honestly could have gone faster if I didn't want to keep them separate like this. Would definitely buy again.

Plastic lens and poor lighting, paired with inexact trays into which negatives are placed. Hard to slide tray in and out. Very time consuming.Magnification hardly worth the effort in the 2" viewing screen, can barely make out detail. For a person needing reading glasses this product is too much work with very poor product directions.I have boxes of negatives to preview from my mother's estate and needed something that would allow me to view a multitude of negatives quickly. Instead I turned my laptop over on its back, and opened a blank Word document to create a lighted background (similar to a lightbox), and used a standard handheld 3" diameter magnifying glass, held about 3-4" away from the negatives. Very inexpensive and MUCH better magnification and viewing with this larger field. And so much easier to go through bunches of negatives. In this way I could easily separate negs into keep/don't keep piles. As my mother traveled extensively I had no need to keep her many pictures of scenery from her travels. Any keepers of say, family members or important events I could set aside for poss. printing or at least labeled storage.My local custom photo shop had suggested using a lightbox and a printer's or photographer's loupe that sits directly on top of the negative on the lightbox, however you have to bring your eye down directly above the loupe to see the details and the field is only about 1.5-2", which is not comfortable after about 5 negatives.
