A Decent Product : Imagelab FS9T 9 MP Slide and Negative Scanner with 2.4-Inch Tft LCD Screen
I see a lot of poor reviews for this product and I wonder if it's simply because people expect more than they should from a product of this type. First, I wouldn't really call this product a 'scanner' - it's really nothing more than a digital camera image sensor that takes a photo of your slide or negative. The quality is not stellar, but I wasn't expecting that when I bought it. I knew that I would get decent quality for some applications, but not for serious archiving or processing.
If you keep this in mind, then you should be pleased with the product. For the price, I find it well built and easy to use. It does what it says it will do and nothing more. I have thousands of negatives and slides. Of those, only a percentage (I'd say less than 10%) are what I would consider worthy of professional level scanning. With a service like ScanCafe, I can have that done, but even with their decent pricing, it can get rather expensive. This device is handy for turning all of my slides and negatives into useable images rather than packed away in a box somewhere. I would say the quality is fine for genealogists/family historians and the average person who may want to add some photos to an album or website.
In my estimation, I would say any photos made from the 'scans' would reasonably allow you to print up to a 5x7, maybe even an 8x10, though I wouldn't hang it in a museum. Again, if you need that kind of quality, you need a profesional level scanner - if you don't have several thousand dollars to spend on one or several hundred to use a service, then this may work well for you.
You should also note that any scan from this unit will require some post-scan modification, especially if your slides or negatives are a bit older. Over time, temperature, humidity and light have an adverse affect on film medium that will degrade images. There are many products out there to help you do this, some for free, some at a cost. Just expect to be doing some post-scan sharpening, color adjustments and messing around with stuff like gamma, levels and contrast. It's not hard once you learn, and if your software can 'batch process' a group of photos, you can handle a whole group of scans rather quickly. Products like FastStone Image Viewer can do just that, and it's free.
Do be sure to clean your slides and negatives before scanning to minimize dust and lint that will cost you more editing time. Cleaning up dust and lint on your images is probably one of the most time consuming pieces of post-scan editing, plus you'll likely not find a free version that will give you that capability. The slide and negative 'carriers' that come with this unit are solid and well-built, something I've not found with previous scanners I've owned.
If you can afford it, have your images professionally scanned, if not, consider this product. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase. I got exactly what I was expecting, so there is no reason to be upset that I'm not getting all the bells and whistles that some others seem to think are missing. Go into this purchase properly informed and you should be satisfied as well.
