Why do I have problems with blurry slides when using the 3 in 1 photo converter

I bought one and after trying 4 times to make good reproductions and accomplish it faster I just tossed it out! Took my slides to Costco and for a nominal price and effort I had all of them categorized, sorted with background music. They look just like I took them even though some were from 1972! Good luck!

I got that too. I kept trying to insert and reset. Finally it said "formatting" and that was the last she wrote, i.e., the camera froze there. Packed it up and returned it the next day. I bought a (slightly) used Flip on eBay. I know opinions differ, but I had used (and loved) a Flip for years, had broken the lens and was looking to replace with something newer... hence the Kodak, which I found was shabbily made. Now back to another Flip. Even though Cisco dumped them, the Flip videos import as mP4's, and for my purposes, that works great and couldn't be happier with my new (used) Flip. Good luck!

I don't know, but I can tell you that the converter I bought was terrible - even my 12 year old could see that it reduces quality unacceptably. I guess this sort of lends is good only for observation photos where quality is less of an issue. I wish I hadn't bought ours.

I am retired and love photography. I found myself with thousands and thousands of photos, slides and negatives that I needed to convert to digital. I bought two different machines the "Pandigital Photolink" for the photographs, I love this machine. I bought another slide and negative to digital picture converter, with this last one, I am converting hundreds of mounted slides and negatives to digital. If you google "SLIDE AND NEGATIVE TO DIGITAL PICTURE CONVERTER" you will find many types and styles from $55.00 to $150.00 or more. They work great!!!! Amazon.com have many of these. I hope my answer can help you. Two machines is the best deal. one for photos, the other one for slides and negatives.

I also had an earlier Kodak DX model and am extremely disappointed with the relatively blurry pictures that the Z812IS produces. I have had the camera 6 weeks and I am sending the camera to Kodak for a possible warranty repair. No setting I tried, and I've tried most, will get rid of the blur. For a recent family event, I brought out the old reliable DX. Heart broken is not quite the word I would use to describe - frustrated is more like. Also - buyer be aware from an Amazon vendor, you only have 10 days to return the camera for a refund.

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.

I had no problem with the resolution of either 35mm color or B&W; negs. 35mm slides are no problem either, as long as you remove them from the slide holders (plastic or cardboard usually). the only problem I had was that the unit only lasted two months before it fried, and when it quit it also took out a high dollar flash drive chip ($70.00) that I'll have to replace.

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of this issue. I've been struggling with it since purchasing the camera and had been thinking of returning it. I will follow your recommendations re: purchasing the filter & adapter.

This one also makes a blurry mess out of a good slide. The only good one I have tried is the Minolta Dimage Scan.

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

I would say that this is not a high tech machine . In my experience I was disappointed that it couldn't even copy the slide, much less get a three D image.

After downloading the product manual, it says "35mm slides are NOT supported." Yeesh! What a shame. I guess the cheapest Canon that can support it is the 5600F. The Epson V300 has good reviews, though, too.

return it is the best I can offer you. I have one and I love it. It does work as advertised. Not fast but does make clear and good digital images. I have been using it for microfilm in the slider.

The leans does not support any 1.4 or 2x teleconverter, autofocus will not work, the quality of the photo will be very low.....

I didn't use negatives I used slides. The tray that came with my wolverine slide converter worked great. The extra box of slides I purchased didn't work at all for slides and I returned them.

Check out the review comment posted at the product site on Amazon - one chap has addressed the blur issue specifically. Here's the link to the review http://www.amazon.com/review/R3PJS6SOXSDS0E/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

This won't help you but you are not alone in experiencing these problems. Frequently my slide scans come out as negatives and several times Slides have been cropped although positioned correctly. In the latter case I've redone one slide over and over again in different positions in the holder, upside down as well, but still the Canoscan crops it. I hope someone out there can help both of us !
