QPIX DIGITAL Film & Photo Scanner, High Resolution 16MP Film Scanner with 2.4" LCD Screen, 4 in 1 Scanner Converts 35mm/135 Slides & Negatives Film, Photo, Name Card for Saving to Files, Black

The QPix is versatile. It will scan photos, slides and negatives. Easy, easy to use. I did have a problem with the first machine I purchased, but the customer support team at Qpix was excellent, and they resolved my problem within a few days. The quality of the scan is very good (I would use the highest quality setting at 16m) considering how faded and old some of the slides and/or photos were. The machine is designed to be used with a 32GBscan disk (do not use anything larger as the machine is not rated for above 32 though Amazon will try and sell you a 128GB disk). The machine comes with gloves. Take your time when loading the different accessories - they are plastic. I did not have any problems loading the trays, but I read a few reviews complaining about the quality. The quality is fine - if you treat the trays gently, and place the slides and film in the right place. Great product that will work for you!

If you're older than 30, you probably know what I'm talking about... You have a box that's just filled with photos that you, or your parents, took when you were younger. You know, before everything went digital. Sometimes the photos survived, but most of the time they were in an album that sat out too long and started to fade. How do you recover those memories?I recently found a box full of pristine negatives from a trip I took to Russia when I was in high school. I didn't have many of the original photos, but the negatives were in great shape. That's where this product comes into play.One afternoon and a trip down memory lane later, and I have a nice digital collection of pictures from my trip, some I hadn't seen or thought about for years. Nostalga alone is worth the price!Now for the technical details. The scanner was well packaged and comes with everything you need to get going, except a memory card. It takes standard SD cards, which I had tons lying around, so that wasn't an issue. It comes with a USB cable and can be powered via a computer or by using the included power plug. It has gloves to protect your negatives and various adapters to fit slides, 35mm and other film sizes. I used this with 35mm film.Loading the film was easy and you have some basic options to improve the quality of the scan and the color. I think I'd likely use a photo editor on my computer to enhance some, but it's nice to be able to brighten up some of the darker pictures.Scanning is a breeze and then you can just connect the USB to your computer and download the files. In my images, you can see a picture I took from the Red Square and the final image is the scan uploaded from my computer. It looks great for a 30 year old negative!I highly recommend this scanner if you have a bunch of negatives lying around that you'd like to share digitally. It works great, is easy to use and really brings out a lot of fantastic memories.

In concept the unit is good but in practice it delivers poorly. Slide delivery mechanism is bad, slides jam and it is not simple to use. It seems to have a very flaky software system because the display often shows up a triangle error. The quality of conversion is not great either but I suppose the lens quality in a cheap machine reflects in the output images. Not something I would recommend.

The image may be decent. But the colour is definitely off. You get to adjust either the red, blue, green, or yellow filters for the image you scan. But you have to do it manually, and it is impossible to get the original colours of the image, or even a believable colour. Don't buy the product. Invest in something more professional with a higher cost. Saves time and effort.

If you are a photographer like me with tons of old 35mm negatives and slides, you have likely tried a few different ways over the years to scan them. I have tried fairly high end flatbed scanners with negative capabilities, using my phone with a backlight source and I’m sure some other ways I can’t recall. The problem is those ways were A) Not super easy, B) Poor picture quality, C) Slow as hell or all of the above. This little device will NOT make it so you can do 20x30 prints of your negs but it will let you scan them very quickly and with enough quality to share online, etc. Most of all, it’s actually fun to use. The fact that it’s stand-alone makes it really easy too. I highly recommend this so long as your expectations are not super high in terms of the results.
