I bought the Easypix slide scanner to quickly and easily to a larger number of slides digitalisieren.Meine pictures I manage with Picasa, which runs under Ubuntu. Therefore, it was important as the images transferred werden.Beim Easypix this is done with an SD card which also allows standalone operation of the slide scanner. The backlit slides or negatives are taken up by a 5-megapixel camera, which is very fast on the one hand, on the other hand towards a "real" scanner is connected to line by line scanning with slight loss of quality. I was however clear beforehand and the resolution is good enough to also deductions to bestellen.An the device are different settings possible, which is ETAWS cumbersome. I use the highest resolution and editing images on PC nach.Dias from the 60s and 70s have, depending on the film, various false colors that I can make up to 95% with the filter function "I'm feeling lucky" in Picasa. With this device, you have to weigh up between the low price, ease of use, lightweight quality restrictions, good interoperability towards better quality, you have to pay more expensive or more expensive in the Derivative Work (eg flatbed scanner) .Nervig is the fact that the date is not set stop can be, maybe that goes beyond the mitgeliefrte software that I have but not installed. It is recommended for larger amounts of slides or negatives definitely another frame to fit, because you can introduce only 3 slides. Update as of 05/06/2012: In the meantime, I've bought from an identical device with a Diaeinsatz stack supply (of Pearl, 6.90), so that is a brisk scanning possible.
