KODAK Slide 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

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.

As easy as it gets! I was looking for a scanner that would be easy to use - and I found it! I have a large project of scanning old photo slides, and this is perfect. Easy to use, insert the SD card, insert the slide into the slide holder, then into the scanner, select if its a slide or a negative. From there, click on OK, and that's it. The kit includes the USB plug, an HDMI plug and a cleaning tool. So glad I found this scanner. Good price, well-made and good quality.

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

I bought this thinking it wouldn't be that great. I was WRONG! It's amazing. Not very big so it literally can sit on the very corner of my desk as I scan everything and move the scanned photos to my laptop. Almost 700 negative photos scanned so far as of writing this and I haven't even touched the old film negatives yet. It comes with everything that you need minus two adapters you can buy for it here on Amazon for the disk film negatives, and an adapter that allows you to scan multiple slides at once. Colebri is the brand name for the adapters. Just ensure that the one you are buying is for the model of this scanner you are using. As they do sell several of them for different models. I have reviewed the adapters separately with tips in my reviews for those. Tips: This machine with the film adapters you can buy here on Amazon for it are great. If you have the old circle disk film negatives there is an adapter for this just for that! I spent almost 4 hours today going through almost 700 negative disk photos. Including the color and brightness corrections on this machine. Using the adapter for the disk negatives I found here on Amazon. This wouldn't have been possible without that adapter. I would have had to pay someone a lot of money for those to be scanned. That alone makes the cost of this machine worth it. I only give 5 stars to things I truly feel are worth your money and time. This is one of those things. It's easy to setup. Read the instruction manual and you'll be off in no time. I highly recommend getting the SD card it says to use. I went to Walmart and bought a 32gig micro SD card but it has the adapter for the standard old SD it fits into. Place that baby into the machine and then connect the cord to your computer and you're set. Using this is not difficult, unless you have issues learning new technology. But it's truly an easy machine to use. 10/10 worth every penny to be able to save all of your negatives.

I read the reviews before ordering and decided to take a chance with the black Friday sale. I am so far pleasantly surprised! I was skeptical on how the quality would be, however, my negatives from 1990 are coming up with full color and great clarity. I will say that all my negatives were kept in protective sleeves, which helped preserve them and keep them free from scratches. It is easy to use and the feeder, although hard to open at first, is a great guide for putting the negatives in. I haven’t tried slides yet, but the negatives have me a believer in this product!

Ottimo per digitalizzare grandi collezioni domestiche – scansione rapida e risultati eccellenti Ho utilizzato questo scanner per convertire in digitale una collezione di circa 2000 diapositive in meno di dieci giorni, e il risultato ha superato le aspettative. 📌 In sintesi: È uno strumento eccellente per chi vuole digitalizzare un archivio personale con risultati più che buoni e in tempi molto brevi. Peccato per la gestione un po’ macchinosa dei file tramite SD card, ma nel complesso rimane un ottimo scanner consumer per diapositive tra quelli disponibili oggi sul mercato. ✅ PRO Scansione velocissima: il flusso di lavoro è intuitivo, ed è possibile digitalizzare centinaia di diapositive al giorno senza fatica una volta abituatisi ai movimenti. Buona resa dell'immagine: le impostazioni disponibili (esposizione, colore, luminosità) permettono spesso di ottenere uno scatto "finale" già soddisfacente, senza necessità di post-produzione. Adatto a diversi formati: i supporti inclusi sono pratici e compatibili con diapositive e negativi praticamente di qualsiasi formato - controllate il manuale prima di acquistare -, rendendolo perfetto per digitalizzare collezioni di famiglia. Qualità dell’immagine sorprendente considerando il prezzo e la natura consumer del prodotto. ⚠️ CONTRO Non si può salvare direttamente su computer, nonostante il dispositivo sia alimentato via USB: serve una scheda SD (non inclusa), da acquistare a parte. Supporta solo schede SD di dimensioni limitate (max 32GB) e di una categoria specifica, ad oggi non sempre facili da trovare.

Me está siendo muy útil para recuperar imágenes de hace 60 años que se encuentran en diapositivas de distintos tamaños. Es fácil de utilizar y el resultado es muy bueno sin perder de vista algunas cuestiones: - Sus 22 megapíxels obtienen todo lo que pueden de una diapositiva que como máximo medirá 3,5x2,3 cm, por lo que no podemos compararlo con los 22 Mpx de una cámara que los captura de todo lo que esté al alcance de su objetivo. - En ese sentido, al igual que la lente de una cámara ha de estar limpia para sacarle todo el partido, la diapositiva o el negativo han de encontrarse en muy buena condición para obtener todo lo que se pueda de ellos. Algunas de las mías están bastante mal y los milagros no existen aquí. - Para mejorar los resultados y subsanar las deficiencias de los negativos o diapositivas hay que utilizar un programa de procesado como es el caso de Photoshop. Si no lo manejas mucho, sólo con ponerle los niveles, el brillo y la saturación en automático ya ganan mucho y con el tampón de clonar se arreglan las posibles imperfecciones que tengan los originales. - Y, finalmente, hay que tener en cuenta que estas diapositivas o negativos se obtuvieron con cámaras que no guardaban tanta información de la imagen obtenida como las actuales. Estaban pensadas para imprimirlas posteriormente en papel de un tamaño normal, digamos 10x15 o mostrarlas con un carrusel de diapositivas. Ahora estamos pretendiendo una resolución mayor en la pantalla de un ordenador por lo que probablemente nos encontraremos con algunas imágenes que nos parecen (y posiblemente lo sean) un poco borrosas. No considero que sea culpa del escáner para nada. La calidad del aparato es muy buena y la transferencia de las imágenes al ordenador es sencilla. No se puede pedir más. Es un dispositivo que recomiendo sin dudarlo.

Teknikintresserade Barnbarnet är jättenöjd med den! Bra pryl för alla med många gamla negativ liggande.

Prima apparaat wat voldoet. Te gebruiken voor dia’s, negatieven en oude films. Sommige dia raampjes zijn iets te dik voor de geleider. Maar uiteindelijk lukt het wel. Fijn om de belichting en kleurnuances enigszins zelf te kunnen bewerken van oude dia’s of negatieven Wel handig om gelijk een SDHC kaartje aan te schaffen ( max 32GB) anders werkt het niet. Ik heb zelf een wat sneller kaartje genomen (120MB/s) werkt met het opslaan gewoon wat sneller. Scanner werkt alleen via PC of telefoonadapter.
