It works

I have converted several hundred slides to tiff in the past week. Some of the slides were my grandfathers and are glass, too thick for the holders, so I slid them in on the bottom slide and and adjusted for placement, worked fine. So far I have no issues aside from not being able to figure out how to use the USB cord to transmit the photos directly to my computer. Using a SD card works, just more steps in the process. I have no problems with the device.

A Fantastic Product

This Kodak slide converter is such a joy to use. I just plugged it into my laptop and began using it. Capturing the digital image is easy; editing the images is also easy and is providing me with better quality digital images than the original 35mm slides! I have thousands of slides from my pre-digital life that I haven't looked at in years, and now converting them to digital images is fun and is going rather quickly. You can feed the slides into the holder and run them through the converter with a minimum of effort. I had looked into having Walmart convert the slides for me a couple of years ago, and it was going to cost a fortune, given the number of slides I have. Now I find that the resolution of the images is very fine, and editing results in great pictures. This converter will pay for itself many times over when I am through with my project. It will also save me about one-half of a closet in space that is currently taken up by stacks of carousels in their boxes. I am very, very happy with this Kodak Mini Digital Film Scanner.

Simple slide scanner, no bells and whistles

This little scanner is very easy to use, with its own simple software that is not uploaded to one's computer. But it has a very tiny memory and needs an extra SD card. I have not bought one yet, so it can only do 2 slides at a time and then its memory needs to be emptied.

Images are clear

I found a box of my Dad's old negatives, my wife found a box of her Dad's 35mm slides. I'm just getting started and have scanned about 30 of each. The scanner is easy to use and compact. The power cord plugs into a USB port on a laptop. Separate plastic guide trays for each type of film are clearly marked and lock in to the scanner, then you can just continually feed the film through and it comes out the other side. Film is scanned to an SD card. Once the card is full, there is a button allowing you to upload the scans to the computer. It was confusing at first because the message that comes up on the scanner is "FALL", and I couldn't find any info on the internet. Turns out the message should be "FULL". Once the scans are uploaded, there is a button on the scanner to format the SD card, then you can scan the next batch. 110/135/ and Film can be scanned at 14M or 22M. Super8 only scans at 6M. 126/127 scans at 16M. This Kodak scanner is very easy to use. My Dad and Father in law were good photographers, and had good cameras for the technology of their day. I wipe each film with a microfiber cloth before inserting them in the scanner. The film negative scans are clear, pretty much what you would expect, but I was pleasantly surprised at how vibrant and clear the 35mm slide scans came out. I am having fun with this, and seeing pictures that I don't remember ever seeing before.

Very good scanner

The last time I used a film scanner was one that was SCSI connected and took about 5 minutes to scan ONE picture out of a strip of negatives. So I don't really have anything else to compare it to. I saw the reviews before I bought it about people having issues with the SD card failing. The directions clearly state to format the card in the scanner. TURN IT OFF. Then turn it back on. Otherwise you might have issues. I have had no issues with the scanner. I tried using the USB to computer, thinking it would just scan and save to the computer. IT does NOT do that. You scan in about 10 pictures, it gets saved to the internal memory. (Which btw says "FALL" when the internal memory is FULL... Little glitch in the programming I guess.) Then you have to select USB to computer and it will upload them to your computer. This is a very slow process, just get a 32GB SD card (which I think is the max it can use) and just save them to that and then shut it off and take out the card and put it into the computer to save them. I have scanned in about 2000 pictures from slides and negatives and have many thousands more to go. I am very happy with it. Only side note I have is making sure the negative strip is right side up and facing the correct way. I tried to keep tabs on that, but it's hard to see the negative without some extra light or a setup to see them. It's not really noticeable until you get a few pictures of places you know and realize it is all backwards. The picture will look fine, it'll just be reversed. Outside of that I am just going to scan until I wear this thing out, and if needed just buy another one until I have scanned in the 10s of thousands of negatives I have to get through. Or maybe one will last me till I am done. I would hope it would.

Exactly as advertised.

Sometimes when you purchase something based on how it was advertised, when you get the product it doesn't stand up to the description. This product however is amazing and so awesome. I was able to use it without reading every step in the book and the results have been so amazing. We found a box of negatives from the 1970's and were able to convert the negatives to a jpg with simply the push of one button. I didn't realize the product did not come with the media card but as I had one with one of my cameras, this wasn't an inconvenience. Great product, worth every penny.

Compact and Versatile

This unit does a fine job of converting slides, negatives and film to digital format. It is easy and quick to use. It has internal programming to allow editing of RGB colors individually, as well as brightness. This feature is helpful, but due to the small size of the screen, results are somewhat difficult to assess - or maybe it is just my old eyes. Being able to view results on a computer while editing would be helpful; the unit will pair with a computer or other device via a USB connection, but if you can edit and view at the same time, I have not figured it out. You can upload your converted pictures to your computer via the cable or just use the recommended SD Card (not provided). My only (minor) complaint would be that it is somewhat difficult to center slides properly while fast loading - the edges of the screen blend in with the edges of the slide or negative and occasionally the digitized picture has been inadvertently cropped, requiring a re-scan. On the whole, though, I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

Works great

This scanner is great for hobbyists. At 14mp, the scans won't look good larger than a 4×6 print, but it's all you need for a photo album or posting online.

Great quality and easy to use

I had my husband’s grandfathers 35mm slides collecting dust for years. I finally got enough courage to order this product along with a decent sized sd card and an iPad compatable card reader. I don’t use a laptop anymore, just an iPad and an iPhone and I couldn’t be any happier with the results! I was able to scan and save some old slides and I didn’t need to fiddle with the resolution adjustments at all. I scanned several slides from 1957 and some from 1967 and they are crisp and detailed and look as though they were taken last week. I was able to upload them to a local Facebook history group and I couldn’t be more proud of the quality of these slides. Easy to use and I highly recommend this for slides. Don’t let your family history be lost. The picture I shared is 52 years old!

Converting old slides from the 1960 and 70's

Worked really well and was able to work thru several trays of slides. now will tackle the older negatives
