Strength USB Connection, decent suite of software, decent speed, basic color correction capability Weakness 35mm only, software has a few annoying quirks Bottom Line Easy to use, cheap film scanner for 35mm film/slides. Needs a few software tweaks to the interface but is otherwise an excellent product. Good amateur 35mm scanner for home!

Written By wile_e Date Written Oct 13 2001 Summary ***UPDATE 4/5/02 *** Strength quick scans easy to use Weakness colors a little off. slides are sometimes too dark. Bottom Line It is a good scanner but dark slides do not scan very well. It is better than any current flatbed scanner that has an attachment for slides and negatives! Avoid the 1800u

Written By aolsson Date Written Jun 03 2002 Summary I bought this scanner in a rush since a rented high-end scanner simply failed to work with my PC. I was hesitant at first but I am now really glad I bought this scanner. It was easy to install and generally works fine - at least in color. Strength Price, Size Weakness Slow scan, no "dust off" in software Bottom Line If money is an issue this film scanner gives the best bang for the buck. Don't waste your money!
