KODAK SCANZA Digital Film Slide Scanner Converts Negative Slides to JPEG

An adapter should be included for 6x6 format. Otherwise, I am very satisfied!

superb service and device too very nice

Easy to use. However, The color of the slides is slightly washed out no matter how much I tried to adjust the color.

Ho comprato il Kodak Scanza per convertire delle vecchie diapositive in formato più moderno. È facile da usare, all'interno della scatola sono presenti tutti gli inserti per convertire vecchi formati (compreso il Super8). Una volta presa la mano il processo è semplice, mettendo anche una diapositiva una dietro l'altra e premendo il tasto per catturare l'immagine su schermo. Il risultato è soddisfacente e di qualità buona. IMPORTANTE: Per salvare le fotografie convertite, è obbligatorio utilizzare una microSD. L'entrata USB presente, infatti serve soltanto per collegare il Kodak alla corrente e non può essere utilizzata per mettere una penna USB o simili.

This is mid-range Kodak scanner, but it produces good quality, high resolution images from old style 35mm slides. The purpose of this type of scanner is to convert 35mm analogue slides into digital files for easier viewing. I had found a large pile of slides originally taken by my late father, and this was objective for this scanner. This was a daunting batch, but needed to be converted just to view the images on modern equipment. This scanner has proved ideal for this task. It is easy to use, and scans into digital files within a few seconds. The lengthy part of the cycle time is loading individual slides, which need to be accurately mounted in a sliding frame. Like similar tasks the loading becomes easier with experience, but accuracy is important to avoid scanning the edges of the frames. There is also a range of frames to cover differing types of film size. The range is fully explained in the product descriptions, but I have only used the 35mm slide frame. The slide frame for 35mm is hinged, and clamps hold on each slide to hold the frame, and ensure it falls within the fixed focal length, so that each image accurately reflects the quality of the original slide. Don't expect it to work miracles if the original slide is out of focus or blurred by movement. However, there is a limited range of editing on the scanner, so some exposure errors can be corrected before the image is scanned. In my experience most modern software offers a wider range of editing for the image once secured to your laptop, etc. The scanner must have an SD memory card inserted, because all the scanned images are saved to the memory card. This means that you can transfer the SD card and the new files to your preferred location for saving. I have not found a method as yet to link to the computer to transfer the files without moving the SD card, but I expect that this is feasible, I have only to extend my practice. Overall I feel confident to recommend this kit, and I have been pleased with the results, which have secured my late father's photography for future generations.
