 Fantastic Scanner !!! April 23, 2002

Scanner gives Great Color and Contrast but the setup seems to take forever, under Win2000 scans terminated if IE/NS Browsers are used. ...,
good scans but with different software March 10, 2002

I had some difficulty obtaining quality scans with this scanner, and the software wasn't very efficient. Focusing was often inaccurate. However, I tried Viewscan software and the results became very acceptable and fast. 4 slides at 2800 dpi in about 10 minutes. Accurate colors and 8x10 prints are very sharp. I have scanned about 600 slides without a malfunction.
Affordable scanner, poor software January 2, 2002

The scanner is a decent , affordable package for low volume scanning of 35mm film (APS users add $200 for the APS adapter), but the software is a letdown for any volume scanning.
The software is not fully automated to do volume scanning, requiring manual intervention when saving (e.g. selecting filename and file format).
However, my biggest gripe is that the software does not show you the orientation of each frame without doing a 90sec preview first. When you want to scan 80 rolls of film, I'd rather just skip the preview and get straight to the scan. This sometimes results in upside down or flipped scans as I would have forgotten what orientation each frame was in.
One of the few USB and Macintosh compatible scanners, although more appear to be on the horizon.
