The big plus of this product is its speed of operation. We pass the photo, is visualized, it presses on the button and it is transferred to the SD card. Simple and effective. As for quality, it will not be expect miracles. Only slide of photography with a low-level camera lens built into the device. The images are highly saturated and relatively pixelated. If you're not a stickler for quality and that one does not want to spend hours with a flatbed scanner which will be superior in quality but require more manipulation and at least 2 to 3 minutes per photo, it can do so. If by cons you have little slide or negative and you want to recover them without losing too much quality, it will direct you to a flatbed scanner with slide holder as the Epson Perfection V370 Photo for instance. However you will spend time.
