After a long study of devices to scan the slides, I chose it despite some diverging user reviews. I do not regret it because it is very effective (approximately two seconds per slide) The manual is not easy to understand at first but you get there with a little perseverance ;. I bought it with Sandisk SDHC 4GB card (therefore directly readable on a microphone fitted without using the USB connection with the proposed cable supplied) to not have storage issues reported by some users (thank you to them) . After a first branch a little difficult (a pat has given all plumb) and some tests that helped me correct a little adjustment, I switched to scan and everything is fine for my first thousand slides: This worth, photos back to life, the bad is removed, we classify the memories! Caveat: be careful supplied charger; it is only usable with the latest slides, so almost no ... but with the manual it will smuggler finalemnt fast enough for photos that have often slept years is sufficient to treat them from time to time! Are supplied hardware (camera, USB / power cable, felt brush, manual changer, automatic manual setter). Excellent delivery, as usual, by Amazon.
