Reasonably fast and decent quality By Mr Smith With hundreds of slides reaching the age that the images were showing deterioration, I needed to scan them or let them fade away. I have tried a few other slide scanners and the process was so slow that I never managed to get more than 100 done. The VuPoint Solutions Digital Film and Slide Converter (FC-C520-VP-BX2) is fast enough and requires little enough attention to easily do 100 in an hour while watching TV. This scanner is easy to use. Put in SC card, plug in power, open it up, put some slides in the slide holder, push it in the slot and press the button. You load 3 slides at a time in the holder. The first time only you need to set the resolution (why would the default not be the higher one?) and the film type (BW/color/negative) - the settings persist. The image processing time is pretty quick; 3 seconds to adjust the light levels and you are ready to press the button. Scanning the image takes another 3 seconds. You get a 1 second display of the scanned image and saving to the SD card takes 5 seconds. One of the best things is it does not need to be connected to a computer - just insert an SD card and scan JPEGs to it. With other scanners I've used they had to be connected to your computer and you had to make adjustments for each image with some buggy application. This one is easy to setup and operate in front of the TV. The scanning is very automatic. I get good scans (the source is fading anyway so perfect is not a requirement) with no adjustments ... just load and press. One bug I have seen is some images show a blue-ish strip near the bottom of the image. Rescanning does not help. It can probably be corrected digitally. The slide tray is also a weakness. It has a tiny latch that requires a fingernail. Once you get the technique it works OK. 79 of 79 people found the following review helpful. Exceeded expectations By The computer lady With more than 2,000 slides sitting in boxes for 35 - 55 years, the idea of digitizing them was overwhelming. I had tried scanning them earlier with an HP scanner, but the quality was poor unless I increased the pixel count, and then it took 3-5 minutes to scan a slide. With the VuPoint, the process was so much easier and the actual scanning of each slide took less than 5 seconds. But, the best part was the quality, which was as good or better than with my HP scanner. As with both experiences, some slides need to be lightened. I've used my Adobe Photoshop software, so I can't speak for the software that comes with the VuPoint. We can now share memories of events, trips, special people with our family. For the price, the VuPoint has exceeded my expectations. 87 of 88 people found the following review helpful. Great Converter By Kenneth A. Bova This was great. The directions look a bit complicated. I inserted my slides and I was on my way. Use the SD disc, it is easer to work with it. I have 3200 slides which will eventually get put on a DVD. It comes with a tray that holds 3 slides at a time. I wish it would have come with a tray that holds 10, but that's only a slight disadvantage. If I had to do it agian, I'd purchase it. See all 35 customer reviews...
