After spendng 2 hrs scanning photos, which was relatively easy, I tried to download them onto my PC and nothing was there. I called Pandigital and was told I probably had a bad SD card and to return the item to Walmart. Moral of this story: before you spend hours photoscanning pictures, try a few and then download to make sure the SD card is good.

While it is probably an excellent product for scanning prints and negatives, I have very few negatives that need scanning, and already have a Kodak C-310 PSC that does a great job of scanning prints (for the few times that I need this capability). When I read on the box that it would only scan unmounted slides, I returned it unopened. I have several thousand slides to scan for a project and would never think of unmounting each one! I can't imagine anyone having unmounted slides and as a professional photographer mounted each E-6 that I did. When I shot K25 or K64 each slide came back in a cardboard Kodak mount.

We loved the idea of this we have over 3000 photos. First few it worked great after several scans white lines appeared. We cleaned as instructed no help. After reading more into this it was a very common problem with these little scanners. I absolutely loved the idea of this scanner unfortunately it did not work. We then went out and bought a $200 epson flatbed. It has worked perfect

I have been wanting to digitalize my old negatives and photos for a long time but I thought scanners were out of my price range. I found this scanner and was happy with the price. The reviews were mixed but I decided to try it anyway. It works great! For those who read the reviews about white lines appearing in the digital files and are concerned about it: the instructions VERY CLEARLY state that this will happen if the scanner is used too much without being cleaned. If you clean it every 50 to 100 scans, it works just fine! Don't return the product...read the instructions! It comes with everything you need to clean and calibrate. I like that it can scan directly to a memory card (which was not very clear in the listing but IS included in the package) so you don't have to worry about computer and software compatibility. It also comes with a USB cable so you can bypass the memory card function and scan directly to your computer if you wish. The software need for this is included on the memory card in the package. The versatility is great. I read a review that said it does not work for black and white film. I tried my black and white 35mm negatives and they made beautiful scans. I can see how removing the casing around a slide would be annoying but I have no slides so that is not an issue for me. I have literally scanned many hundreds of pictures and it is working great! It is light, compact and easy to use.

Overall, I am pleased with the purchase. I bought it to scan in my 35mm negatives. It does a decent job. Quality of the picture is not perfect but I edit the print with some photo software to improve the quality. I just use the prints to post on facebook and for memory purposes so the quality does not have to be award winning. It was nice to see pictures long lost from 20 years ago!

In spite of the description on the website, this scanner/converter does not do slides. It was a waste of my time to order and then return. I bought to do photos and slides and I was most surprised when I received it. It does not process slides.

Overall, this thing is cool. Very small, and simple to use. I like that you don't have to connect it to the computer to use it, since it comes with a MicroSD card. But you can if you want to. It works great. My only problem with it is that I have some older negatives, and they are too big to fit into the negative guide that comes with it. The guide is basically for 35mm film strips. I was really hoping to scan those. It scans slides great, but you do have to tear them open to get the negative out. So for these two reasons, it gets a 4 star rating. For actual usage and how well it works, it gets a 5 star. Plus, sometimes 'photo shops' won't print out every photo on a negative strip because the machine doesn't deem the photo printable. This scans every one, so now you can try to fix your prints from negatives if you have a photo program.

This is an amazing, easy to use little gadget. Hours of fun seeing the results. Some disappointment, but put this down to v old negatives. Speedy, and nimble. Loved my results, thank you.

My mom has a lot of photographs when we were younger, there are 6 of us kids. This product will help preserve those memories and will do it less expensively than taking them and having them recopied. We were able to scan and copy them for everyone so there was no fighting as to who got what. We all got copies that we can pass on to our kids. We have not tried it with negatives yet.

This does exactly what it says it will! I have over 3000 photos that I want to digitize, and this saves me a lot of money! I have both negatives and photos of many of them, so tried both to see which came out best. Negatives were fast (about 8 minutes for a 24-roll) but sometimes I had to rotate, and my old negatives (1985) often skipped the first one, which slowed it down considerably. Photos did well but I had to check more often for dust on the photo or sleeve provided, so it ended up about the same. It depends more on quality of your photo and how much correction was done at developing. I didn't have any problem with lines as long as I cleaned and calibrated every 75 photos as recommended, which only takes a few minutes. I highly recommend scanning to your computer so you can view quickly to see if there are any problems. I have done nearly 600 and am very pleased. Only 2500 more to go!

Wanted to save all of my pictures from before, during and after over the 23 years I was in the Army traveling around the world and the US. Thus, the purchase of this scanner. It is awesome. I have scanned well over 1500 pictures and downloaded them to my computer, then put on CD. It will scan anything from small to 4x6 and does it quite well. I haven't tried the slides yet, however, I am in no hurry of ruining them since you have to remove them from the borders. Amazing little machine and so glad I purchased it.

I got this to scan negatives, what the description neglects to tell you is that it does not work on black and white film. It does work very well on photos though. After I bought this and it didn't work like it said I bought the Cannon Negative Scanner

I like that it is so easy to use.
It does what I was expecting from what I had read about the product.
I am so excited about being able to save the pictures I am getting from scanning the negatives.
It is compact and I can put it right on my desk, while I work.

Works good enough for me as I didn't want to spend hundreds more on a high end scanner. Old photos scan fast and easy. My old flat bed scanner takes a long time placing photos on the glass then waiting for the thing to scan. Scans 35mm film with an adapter inserted in the front. Will also do 35mm slides only if you remove them from the sleeve holding the film which is OK with me because I won't be dragging out the old projector ever again anyway.

after reading all the good reviews i purchased this scanner. i had to scan each picture 3 different times to hope that one of them would be good enough to use. there were white lines that would appear on each of my scans in different spots each time. very frustrating, and the ones that did work the quality was awful. purchased a new scanner printer does not have the convience but quality is a lot better.

Pc tech for 20 years, used to solving device problems, and this device sure has them. Poor quality scans on color photos as well as black and white photos, difficulty getting it to pull photos through straight, does NOT scan all negatives. After several hours of wasted time, I returned mine to the store as junk. It does scan fast, and was a nice idea to be portable and scan images to an included memory card, but that was the only good thing I could say about it. VERY dis-satisfied with it's quality.

This product was so easy to use and I scanned about 200 photos so easily while I was watching tv. The negative scanner works great too, but I learned that you can't pull the negative strip through too quickly or it won't scan properly. Just a learning curve thing for me to remember for next time. The scanner works great.

Easy to use, needs little space, works with or without your PC. Only disappointment was the fact that it only scans 35 mm negatives. Scanned 11 year old negatives and you couldn't tell that the jpg. created was from a negative. Highly recommend the scanner.

This product is wonderful. I scanned about 50 pictures in less than 10 minutes. It is easy to set up and easy to use. I had the scanner out of the box and scanning pictures in no time. There is nothing to it. I was also impressed with the scan quality. I went with this scanner because it could do negatives also, but I have not scanned any yet. It was worth it just for the pictures. I am so impressed that I will probably go back and order the scanner that can do 8 1/2 x 11 size sheets. This will be perfect to take to family dinners to scan other peoples photos. I love that it scans right to the supplied SD card. Excellent scanner!!!
