To make it short: professional quality can and can not be expected at this price. Ultimately, it is "only" around a stationary camera with Diavorsatz. As the slides and films that I've digitized thus fall more into the category of "memories" as because in "professional photo" I do not mind. Especially since you still a lot can get more out with a corresponding images software (... and also should). Positive for me: Unlike a professional scanner brauchts with this device no 1-5 minutes until an image on the memory card. So it is possible for me to scan something more than 1500 slides the last 40 years, without sacrificing my annual leave. Since the device can also be used without a computer to scan the images (pictures are stored directly on a memory card, small power supply is included), you are regardless of location and regardless of the operating system. Even the included accessories, especially the rails for film and slides are OK: The tracks include about small magnets. For other scanners of the same design, the rails are usually kept for reasons of cost a pretty hoe then clamp mechanism together. The enclosed slide for geramte Dias's a nice bonus, but is very hakelig when the slides not a certain thickness have (Unfortunately I have a pretty colorful assortment of all kinds of mounts that were once available in the market ...). When it comes right Diadicke however very quickly. Out of sheer zeal we should not forget, every few pictures time to take a look at the luminous surface inside the computer: There are all sorts Staubfussel and grains accumulate within a short time (remedy to operate the scanner upside down ...) So is the supplied cleaning swab to an important Utensiel. The display quality of the screen is underground, if it would be used for presentation purposes. But for rapid assessment, it is quite enough. The possibilities for image manipulation in the device itself I did not use, because the images that wanted to continue using it, be restored with an image editing software. Conclusion: Positive: a device for home use with quite a high utility value, as you quickly get the images into the computer. A further processing of images with appropriate software, however, is necessary (I'm working with Gimp = free). The beigelgte accessories is more elaborate than in similar (cheaper) products. The two power supplies (Europe and USA) are an added value. Negatives: Very sensitive to dust, hakelige slide rail ...
