Customer Reviews:

An exceptional scanner. [Posted on 2008-04-17]
This scanner for slides and negatives was not only easy to use but was compact in size. It worked well with my Windows XP program and the pictures could be manipulated to change the amount of light and the color quality of the pictures. This is a superior product!

great little scanner [Posted on 2008-04-17]
Just got my plustek 7200. The software loaded just fine.I ran about 30 slides and it went fast. The thing that took the longest was looking at the old pictures I haven't seen in years. The one draw back is you only scan 1 slide at a time. The bad reviews must have been people that have an I.T. person in there back pocket to solve there problems and do everything for them. Like other people have said you don't have to scan at the highest resolution, few people are going to print posters. For home use and to bring back memories with out taking up counter space (small foot print) this unit is just great!

Plustek 7200 [Posted on 2008-04-19]
Easy to use and doing a great job of converting my slide collection to digital. From there I've already completed 2 CD's. This is also a good opportunity for me to review all my slides that I haven't looked at for years. It's much easier to play a CD than haul out the projector, screen etc. Certainly recommend.

A very good slide scanner [Posted on 2008-04-21]
I bought the Plustek scanner as a tool to finish up transferring 35MM slides to a digital form. I have been very satisfied with the quality of the digital picture output done as a high quality TIF. The process does take a little time for each scan, but the software that comes with the scanner allows you to scan negatives in addition to adjusting color on the slides based on the kind of picture being scanned. It is very flexible and works very well in conjunction with Photoshop 6.0. Learning curve was short for me. I had a basic grasp of what the product could do and how to setup the software to deliver the high qulaity slides I wanted for this project within about three scan cycles. The users guide is a PDF on the software diskette.

Worth every penny [Posted on 2008-05-02]
This is a really great product. I have thousands of slides from the "old days" of film and don't want to lose the images. I got very tired scanning them with my flat bed scanner.....1 at a time, cropping etc.
This thing is neat. load 4 slides in the tray and scan them very effortlessly. I throw the slides away after they are scanned & when they are all scanned I will sell this thing on EBAY. What a wonderfull country this is!!!
