The device I have used extensively after purchase to scan family pictures. Caveat: The quality is very good. The software is easy to install on Windows XP or Vista. When using Windows 7 Download an order update of the software is required. Only then can install the software. The included editing software by Silverline I do not use because I have better image editing software. Disadvantages: The price is m. E. too high. The shifter (insert the slides) must be operated carefully because it clicks too easily, which could negatively impact the 1st image. Otherwise, the quality and ease of use produces a good device.
