I found a whole tray of photo slides when I was cleaning but had no way to look at them. This device was perfect. It allows me to view them and save them to a storage media which I can take to Walgeens orWalmart and print off.

I just bought this Magnasonic All-in-One 25MP Film Scanner (FS70). I’ve been already using the Magnasonic All-in-One 24MP Film Scanner (FS71) for about a year. They are priced the same, so I was curious what the difference might be.The first image I posted is from the FS70, the second from the FS71.There are some differences in the scans. The new 25MP version seems to do a better job of automatically setting the exposure correctly and just looking at the full image without zooming the images look a bit sharper on the newer 25MP version. Strangely though when you zoom in you start to notice what I would call smearing or something to that effect, especially noticeable in black & white images. But you must really be pixel peeping to notice. When zooming in on the images on the 24MP version they look a bit sharper.It's an odd phenomenon. Like I said, looking at a full-size image side by side the newer 25MP looks cleaner and sharper. It may have to do with a better multi-element lens.Overall, I would recommend this, the newer 25MP, over the older 24MP version, just because it handles auto exposure better. With the older version I find myself constantly adjusting brightness setting, I don’t have to as much with the 25MP version.One caution, I noted a few slides that were badly unexposed looked fine on the screen but did not properly scan. Those scans look like a pink blob. Now I just check the image immediately after scanning a “thick” (dark) slide or neg just to make sure it scanned properly.I also should add I could find no difference in sharpness when scanning at the 13MP (2752x4128 pixels) or 25MP (4080x6112 pixels) settings. You simply get a larger image via interpolation when setting to 25MP, but if you want to save hard drive space you won’t lose anything by scanning at the 13MP setting.These scans don’t compare to a dedicated high-quality film-slide scanner, but then again, this method of scanning is way faster and the images produced do a fine job if all you’re going to do with the image is post to the web or social media.

I knocked off one star for the fingernail busting, fiddly, god awful slide holder. Here's a tip. The holders for the slides are terrible to open. Once you have got it open and put a slide in, closed it and slid it into the machine, you never need to open it again. This is because you just slide the next one in and it pushes them along, so keep a sacrificial slide, you know the green one from the end of the reel, in there to hold a place. It seems to be able to take the 35mm slides in a plastic mount too, provided they are the slim ones. Not sure about the chunkier plastic mounts are going to fare, but overall I am really pleased with this gadget for its ease of use.

I inherited lots of 35mm slides from my parents and this bit of kit is great for capturing them digitally to share with family. The internal memory only holds 4 or 5 captured images but you can add a n SD card for more memory. It is easy to move downloaded files on to you laptop via the connected cable. It does also capture 35mm negatives. I would recommend this bit of kit.

This thing works well on 35 mm slides producing nice files that are very true to the original. But it does not scan negatives, it simple produces a jpg photo of the negative, which cannot be used to reverse the colour.So with that in mind, it works very well on slides. One bug bear - the file numbering system does not continue after removal of the SD card, it resets to zero, so, beware of duplicate file names. And the date time resets to 2019 after the power goes off . . .Hey! Waddaya want for 165 bucks??
