Magnasonic All-in-One 24MP Film Scanner with Large 5" Display & HDMI, Converts 35mm/126/110/Super 8 Film & 135/126/110 Slides into Digital Photos, Built-in Memory (FS71)

This is the third film to digital scanner I've purchased, and it is the best. The others worked, but not easily and I always had problems. This unit has a nice display to show you where your alignment is and it captures good quality images from the slides. It is a nice size, not too big, not too small. You'll need to remember to check for dust and clean it, but that is simple with the supplied cleaning stick (or a can of compressed "air"). I highly recommend this unit for home users - professionals may have different standards, but it certainly would work for their proof sets.

Seems to work well. I like that you can put the slide tray in and then just push slides through it without unloading it each time. The only downside is that it seems to have an auto backlight/brightness adjustment, so when you put dark pictures in (like pictures outside at night) the backlight intensity flutters trying to adjust. It only happened on a handful of slides, so not critical.

I bought this Magnasonic All-in-One 24MP Film Scanner as a gift, and it was an absolute hit!The person I gifted it to has a large collection of old negatives and slides, and they were thrilled to finally have an easy way to digitize their precious memories.The scanner is extremely easy to use, even for someone who isn't very tech-savvy. The 5" LCD screen is bright and clear, making it simple to preview images before saving. This scanner made a perfect and thoughtful gift, and seeing how happy it made them truly made my day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a practical, meaningful present!

Works great and is easy to use. Instructions are very clear to understand. Would recommend!

Bought this because I have many hundreds of 135 slides (some older than me) and I wanted to convert them all to digital. If I sent these slides out to have someone else convert them for me, it would cost easily over a couple thousand bucks. I purchased the Magnasonic All-in-One 24MP Film Scanner for $119. I'm very pleased with it. Very easy to use. Just plug in the USB cable to the included power adapter (same thing as any USB power adapter for your phone), or directly to your computer. No software needed. Comes with film negative and slide insert trays. The learning curve on this device is easy. When you turn it on, the menu is self explanatory. Just insert the slides into the machine, center the picture, and then hit the scan button, and in about 1 second, the slide is converted into a JPG format picture which is saved in memory. You can add a 128G SD card (not included) for more memory. After your slides are scanned, you can select "Up-load Pictures" (needs to be connected to your computer thru USB), and your computer can access your picture folder just like a USB thumb drive. Copy and paste the pictures where you will. With this, I was able to insert and scan a slide about every 5 seconds. Picture scans are very good quality. Image dimensions are 6000 x 4000. Resolution is 72 dpi. Bit depth is 24. Average JPG file size averages about 4.5 to 5.1 Megabytes per picture. I displayed these on a big screen TV through a HDMI cable, pictures display nice and sharp. I would recommend the Magnasonic All-in-One 24MP Film Scanner to anyone who needs to convert their old slides.

First scanner screen lit up, showed the menu, then promptly shut itself back off. Unusable DOA defective.Replacement shipped by Amazon was less unstable, so it could be used to scan negatives and slides to SD-card. The 'upload to computer' mode is still not stable.

Worked very well for scanning old 35mm slides, but only designed for horizontal pictures. Verticle pictures are cropped off unless you scan in the horizontal positon and then rotate the scanned pictures 90 degrees with photo editing software. But, you get what you pay for, for the price it is quite adequate for scanning.

Love this unit. Not only does it make fairly good images from slides (better that me shooting them with my DSLR on a white background) but it's saved me a ton of time as a Super8 film viewer. I'm using a Wolverine Movie Maker Pro for the Super8 film but some of the clips are too sort to view easily. I can quickly zip these clips thru the Magnasonic to see if I want to digitize the whole thing on the Wolverine or just digitize a couple of frames with the Magnasonic for posterity. Highly recommended.
