Review : Quality and construction
My initial impression was that his was a poor quality product. The instructions were some of the worst I have come across and the mains adaptor fell apart in my hands. There is therefore a question of electrical safety. I did mange to clip the adaptor together and now believe it is safe, if used with caution. After a number of trials and errors, working out how to find my way around the menu I managed to scan and save images. Comparing these with a rather old but high quality slide scanner they were of higher quality. The colours reproduced with this device were close to the original requiring little correction. I am therefore satisfied that the device performs as specified but has some questions as to the build quality.

Review : Plustek OpticFilm8200iSE Film Scanner - not impressed with Silverfast software support.
12/8/12 - After much research on the web, I recently I bought a Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE Film Scanner from Amazon to convert my old 35mm slides and some negative film to digital format.

The item was delivered promptly and upon opening the box was just what I required, a scanner with a small footprint. All good so far.

Following the instructions I installed the printer drivers and associated software, SilverFast 8 SE Plus processing package. Silverfast 8 SE Plus was one of the main reasons I bought this item as it comes highly praised.

The scanner worked fine with the supplied drivers and Plustek scanning software, but when I attempted to use Silverfast 8 SE Plus the problems began. Basically the program won't run. Thinking that I had perhaps made an error in the installation procedure I uninstalled and reinstalled the complete package. The result was the same, scanner works fine with Plustek software but the Silverfast wouldn't run. The SilverFast...

Review : Good Service
I ordered this Film and Photo scanner on 3rd February and received it from Germany via UPS at lunchtine on the 6th February, although Amazon told me it would be delivered on the 11th Feb. Superb service!!
I have used other 35mm scanners with not very good results (ie poor colour mostly), however with this scanner I have had very good results so far. The scanner uses a digital camera and the clarity and colour of the scans are good and is quick to scan (approximately 2 seconds per scan), although the files can be enhanced through software like Picassa 3.
All in all I can say for the price I would suggest this is a good value product that produces good results.

Review : Agfaphoto Digital photo scanner
Wanted a scanner to transfer all my non digital photo's of my children taken pre 2001. I did quite a bit of research and this seemed the simplest option. I have now scanned about 300 photographs ( with probably 2000+ still to go )the photo's are simply inserted into the machine as you would do with a laminator. They are scanned onto SD card in a second or so, I bought a 2 gb card from Amazon and this seems easily up to the job. I have never yet filled the SD card but after scanning a 100 or so photographs I simply connect the scanner to my PC using the USB cable provided and drag and drop the photographs into Windows. Th quality of the scans would not be up to professional standards but is perfectly adequate to convert family snapshots into digital format and I would definately recommend it for this purpose. The only other point I would make is that I used an ordinary SD card as no where could I find any menntion that this scanner supports SDHC...

Review : Good but slow process for slides
I recently found numerous boxes of slides at my parents house and decided to scan them in.
After reading several reviews, this scanner was one of the better rated, especially as you can scan 16 slides at a time.
The image quality is very good, but the time to scan is slow. It makes one pass to show a "contact sheet" and small images, then when you press save, it scans each slide individually again.
I haven't timed it accurately but talking 5+ mins.

Also, the Drivers CD for Max OS X isn't supported, but its easy enough to download from the HP website.
Finally criticism is naming/numbering. When you save the images it starts as image.jpg, image1.jpg, image2.jpg etc.
Once you have scanned 16 slides and load the next batch, it says "file already exists, replace?".
Would have been better if it carried on, i.e. image17.jpg. (Only a small gripe)

If you have the time to spare, then for the quality, very good.
