dockothebay Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Has anyone used this product for scanning slides? It has some good reviews - I realize it isn't professional quality. We have lots and lots and lots of old family slides that need to be digitized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have an Epson that does a credible job but have no experience with that unit, sorry. It is tedious work to scan I will tell you that! Good luck it is a worth while venture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Have you considered having the scanning done? I have the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockothebay Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Thanks Dan - I have looked at both the Canon and the Epson - not sure which way I'll go. They are both just under $200 and have good reviews. I have generally been happier with Canon printers so am leaning that way. I know that I'll be putting in a lot of time on this project, but I too think it's worthwhile.Del, I have looked into having it done - seems to run about 50 to 60 cents per slide. Since I think I have well over a thousand slides, I figured I should get the equipment and do it myself. My parents have a huge box of slides as well - so they could use it too.

Yellowhead Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have a 4400F and it does a great job scanning my slide. The device that holds the slides is a little combersome but it does work. My biggest complaint is the documentation, Canon has a real problem with their printer and scanner documentation. I have a canon Pixma Pro 9000 printer and the instructions that came with are worse then poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
