Product Review (submitted on November 4, 2020):

This machine is not perfect but I like it. I received it the other week and have used it a few times and here are my immediate impressions:- The internal storage is only 64MB, so there isn't much internal space if you plan to scan a lot of images. So, you will need an SD card to store all the scanned images.- The SD card option is better even if you have only a few films to scan because SD card can be removed and inserted into your laptop to transfer images easily. If you save in the machine, you then have the hassle of connecting it to your computer through cable. So, much easier to simply save everything in an SD card. Makes storing and transferring images much easier.- It takes about 5 seconds to scan a film. That's not bad in my opinion. I am happy with that speed.- When it comes to the quality of the scan, it all depends on the state of your film. If it is really old and has suffered through the elements and has faded away or damaged somewhat, you will get a scan that reflects that stage of deterioration. So, I am surprised by other people's comments saying this doesn't scan well. I don't agree with that. I have several films with really bad state, and they scanned alright. I also had 10 year old films in pristine condition, and those scanned really well. Are they as good as a photo your current camera takes? No. But are they really good considering it is generating an image by scanning a 10 year old film? Absolutely. I am very happy with the overall performance.- Finally, I really love the palm-size unit. It is small enough to fit in your shirt or pants pocket. So, you can really carry it with you in a backpack. That tiny size is a huge benefit.
