    • May want to touch-up, sharpen or color correct some of your more valuable images but most are fine with me
    • I was able to convert about 1500 images getting ready for a family reunion so I could give everyone a copy.
    • No matter how I inserted the film or adjusted the settings, I could not get an even remotely clear image of an 8MM film frame
    • Basically it's a single light source behind the negative or slide and then a bit of software reverses the image to become a "positive" that you could look at
    • I bought the Kodak Scanza on the idea I will get a better quality images from my Slides and Negatives compared to the Wolverine
    • Without exception the images were fuzzy and somewhat blurred.
    • Unfortunately, I noticed immediately that the scanned images were far more inferior
    • As result, the scanned image is notably more grainy than the slide original.
    • The images are superb
    • I finally got a 64GB card that made the process easier (Each image will be from 1 - 4 MB).
    • If you're looking to have good quality digital images from slides look elsewhere.
    • It absolutely worked as described and the images are clear and bright.
    • I have converted several thousand 35mm slides and the ease of use and good quality images allow me to recommend this product.
    • Scanner 500 slides the first night with no problems and digital images are good!
    • I consider this a good purchase and have enjoyed getting these images up on my screen.
    • The highlights were washed out, there was no shadow detail and the images were fuzzy.
    • You simply push the slides in and a bright image appears on the digital screen
    • I like the adjustment you can make to improve the image.
    • I liked it becasue you can lighten or darken an image and see it on the small screen.
    • This product has provided amazing digital images
    • Sharp images are reduced to soft almost fuzzy scans.
    • For now, this one may suffice for producing mediocre consumer-grade images, but I'd love to see a better one with a sharper lens and at least a slightly higher resolution
    • Provided great quality digital images of hundreds of our old slides.
    • It made spectacular images of even old slides, and photographs as well
    • The images are good.
    • Yes, the Scanza can be used independently from a laptop but my preference was to use it while connected directly via the included usb cable which also powered the scanner That interface was klunky for me as it involved scanning, transferring the photos from the sd card in the scanner to a file in the laptop, naming & sorting, then erasing the scanned images from the sd card (to reduce clutter and confusion).In short, it does the job, is economical compared to having slides scanned at the local photo shop, and provides a good result
    • digital images were great
    • Image could be a little sharper
    • Easy but tedious, but well worth it if you want to preserve precious images in high resolution
    • Although quick per scan, you still may not want to scan hundreds or thousands of slides since you have to feed them manually.- Not overly sharp images, but should work to print up to about 8x10 size from a sharp original slide or
    • Aside from saving the image from negatives, all the other features (for example, editing the image) are useless to me as they are not effective.
    • This product does create good digital images from my slides (some of the slides are not all that good), but connecting to my computer has been a problem.
    • In order to get a reasonable image I needed to reduce the backlight from its default 0 value to -2 or -3 to avoid burnout
    • If my mom had a Nikon D200 while traveling the world in 1959, the images would have come out like the Kodak Scanza's rendering of slides she actually did shoot (with a Yashica 35, that still works, on Kodachrome)
    • when putting a negative through.... as a negative goes through you could see a nice image on the edge as it gets to center
    • A very good scanner for home use, very easy and quick to use with good image quality
    • Once you figure out how to use it, it's not to hard, then I was able to select and transfer my B&W negative images to my computer and use my computer software to edit each individual photo.
    • I was stunned at the bright positive image that appeared from my old 35 mm negative
    • In addition, adobe photo shop could not improve the image from the SD card.
    • Very good image quality
    • This product produces nice images and is simple to use
    • Once you get the hang of it, the Scanza is easy to use to create and upload positive images from slides and negatives.
    • Otherwise you can get very nice images.
    • The brightness of the light ruins the image
    • The images are fair as long as you do not want to go more than a 5x7
    • Within 15 minutes we were looking at great images on the laptop.
    • In less than one week it fatally froze as I was scanning
    • The '14 M' scans a negative with enough detail to print and 8x10, but
    • Very pleased with the speed of conversion, would take the slides as fast as I could push them into the tray
    • The only problem I had, although minor, was the tendency of some slides to jam as they were inserted in the tray.
    • The quality of the scanned photos from slides or negatives is not as good as if you had them printed, but for storing on a computer for "posterity", it is great.
    • -- image quality is good, though not as good as with my Epson V550.
    • This unit works exactly as they say
    • Colors not nearly as good as in my slide viewer
    • The results I had straight from the digitizer were as good as those I had from commercial labs at less cost vs. more time spent
