How long does it take to scan one slide at full resolution?

It takes about 10 seconds. I was surprised how good the scan is. In some instances I have enhanced the photo with Photoshop Elements.

It only takes a few minutes from start to finish. Load the slides, push them through the Vue click wait a few seconds and done.

I timed it with a stopwatch. Once it warmed up, it took 10 seconds to scan a grayscale document at 300dpi using the flatbed scanner (not the document feeder). I scanned it directly into Adobe Acrobat Pro X. It took 26 seconds to scan a color page at 300dpi. Every 12-15 or so scans, it stops to warm up, which only takes a few seconds.

As you will see, there is a tray that holds four slides at a time. Each slide is scanned separately, though. When you are through with one, you simply push the tray until the next slide is centered in the screen. Be sure to put the slides in right side up, though, or everything will be backwards in the picture, e.g. wristwatch on the right wrist, instead of the left. On a different topic, I found some of the pictures cut off the top of people's heads when I scanned them. I had to move the slide slightly down out of the preset slot in order to accommodate this.Jerry W. Caldwell

If the 120 slide is the small one I'm thinking of, but the border is the same size as a regular side, then it's no problem. The slide adapter that comes with scanner if for slides whose cardboard or plastic border is 2x2 inches. If not, them I'm not sure. I've done some creative things with odd size negatives, and got away with it.

As below, the answer is yes, you will be able to scan your slides, 12 at a time when inserted into the slide holder that is one of the parts you will recieve with this scanner. You will have to remove the metal frames to insert the slides into the holder. I did 15,000 of my parents' slides. It took a long while, but DONE now.

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

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.

Caroline: I have only did slides (126), quality is not the greatest. Ok for saving purposes but, Would recommend better quality $$devise. (it matches the cost) It think it will scan any thing, place neg. for optimum view.frame determines what shows.

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.

You have to place foto one by one.Slides in a frame of 4 slides and negatives in a frame of 6 negatives. Scan takes only fews seconds.

Sorry, Patricia, no it doesn't scan slides. I have also wished the same thing, although I only have a small amount of slides - it would still be nice

I just set up my MP800. I have scanned about 20 slides. They look great. These were all 30+ years old covered with dust and fungus. I was very pleasantly surprised by how good they looked. Counting the time it takes to mount the slides and all the clicks it took about 2 mins a slide. Good luckMalcolm

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

Use a printer scanner for slides and 35MM film and you should be able to scan mounted slides. Both of my printer work

I don't think so. If the image is 1.75 " it is something other than 35mm. I think it will only scan the image within the border of a standard 35mm slide. Keep checking with other customers. I only used my scanner for 35mm.

The slides are inserted from the top (the negatives are inserted from the side). The slides are scanned one at a time. I was happier with the scan quality for slides, which was great for me as my family had OODLES of slides. My tech-phobic family cruised through a carousel of slides in 30 minutes.

I've just used it for slide scanning, and it's a manual, one at a time operation, but it goes remarkably fast. I literally had hundreds of slides and I was surprised at how quickly I was able to scan them once I got in a rhythm.
