I am interested in scanning 35mm slides. Does this scanner do a good job and does it have a slider feeder or do you have to scan one at a time?

I think the scanner does a great job with 35 mm slides or negatives. It has a slide holder for 4 slides at a time.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. I have a few slides but I haven't gotten around to them. I'm working on family photos - am very pleased with what it does with photos.

Yes, this scanner has a devise in which you can place several slides and scan - I have not used it. I use this exclusively for scanning photos and the quality is excellent.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

It works fine for mounted slides, I helped my dad copy several thousand of them. A couple of things to be aware of...different mounting frames will fit differently into the slot, you may need to adjust different frames to display the most image. Of course, you can only do one slide at a time, so the process can be tedious. Consider getting an SD card to load into the scanner so you can store the images on it, leaving you free to display the unit on a tv...this will give you a good image to work with as well as allowing words in the pictures to be more visible thereby insuring you get correct orientation. Finally, get a can of compressed air so you can periodically blow dust out of the scanner...old slides tend to be dirty. Good luck

Sorry I can't answer that question as I never used it to scan slides. Everything else scans beautifully, though.

Don't know. It doesn't take good images. I bought a scanner. Haven't tried it with slides yet.

Although I haven't used this feature yet, the scanner comes with all the necessary hardware to scan film and slides. it's detailed in the onscreen manual and it says you can scan 35mm film negatives, 35mm slides, (film positives) and also 120 format negatives.

When you scan slides or negatives on this scanner, it defaults to certain pre-set sizes that you can select via configuration. It does a good job of recognizing images of pre-set size. For odd sizes where you don't have a preset, you need to turn off the thumbnail function and manually select the images. But this is not hard, and if you're editing in say photoshop, getting the selection accurate is not that important.

I scanned over 400 slides, no focus problem. Make sure the slides are level in the slide rack and that it is inserted into the scanner slowly and straight. I didn't use the flip over cover. No focus problems.

Yes, there is an insert that allows you to scan four slides at once but, more importantly, saves them as individual separate images. It's quite handy and is much faster than doing one slide at a time. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a full size scanner and will take a sizable footprint on your desk, approximately 18.5 X 10.5 inches.

Are the slides you're scanning all of the same clarity; the scan can only be as good as the initial product? I first had a faulty device (a circle image consistently on every scan) and the supplier sent a new one. Very pleased with the scanning quality by the replacement.

It does scan mounted slides beautifully. I just got this scanner yesterday and have been busy scanning years old family slides. All of mine are mounted in cardboard frames. A very slight learning curve to scan slides (or else I had my stupid hat on yesterday) but I'm happy with my results so far.

Photos are scanned one-by-one, you need to put them into a holder that is provided to keep them flat. Slide holder has room for 4 slides and the 35mm film holder holds the 6 negatives (like they come back from being developed. The long part is getting the negative into the holder and feeding it into the unit. Once you do that the scan part if fast -less than a second (scan, view the image, hit save, slide to the next negative, etc. I usually did a role or two and then transferred them to my PC.

Just a second or two. You place 5 slides in at a time and scan one at a time. Loading takes more time than scanning but that doesn't take long. Just make sure you use a high capacity disk. They are cheap and saves time.

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

It says it scans photos up to 8x10 and 35mm negatives. But we don't scan slides so I'm not exactly sure how that works.

Honestly I think this scanner is a pain! I ended up buying an Epson scanner for photos and love it. I went through 2 of the slide scanners. Both doors to the device broke so light leaked out. The Epson scanner is very reliable and costs about $80-100.

It takes me about a minute per slide. While I am scanning one batch, I tweak the previous batch in another program so the project keeps moving along. I've had the CanoScan for 2 months now, have scanned about 100 slides without any problems. I am very happy with it. I have a little tutorial on my site that shows some of my results: http://www.patriciaweppler.com/tutorial.htm
