There are other, very much more expensive digitisers that are available on the market. However, for what I paid for this scanner I am more than pleased at the results obtained in scanning my old slides. As always on passing the digitised output through my usual photo software further brings the results truer to life. There are a few minor niggles, for example the scanned files are given a digital time stamp when they are saved to the SD card. However, this is not the current date and time and there is no way of setting this on the scanner. Time zero appears to be that linked to that of the embedded operating system. Overall, a very useful work horse that gives good results. If you need to keep digital memories of older media for occasional use and not wanting to get super large images then this is perfect. Should you want the very best that your slides are capable of and create large prints then you need to look for a professional grade scanner at considerably greater cost.Read full review

The description says that this is a 14MP device but it is actually 13MP (4416 x 2944 which equals 13,000,704 pixels). It also forcibly crops about 15% of the image area. I contacted Veho about these issues via their website but received no reply. It isn't actually a scanner, rather a captive camera - there are no moving parts which do any scanning. But for that reason, it takes a few seconds to capture an image compared to several minutes with a true slide scanner that I have used connected to a Mac - pre-scan, scan and then the software spends another minute processing before the image is saved. It's difficult to say how accurate the colours are from negatives as they are quite old, they appear to have low colour saturation but slides seem to be fairly accurate. However, it is very easy to use and if you want a reasonably high resolution device to digitally capture your old photos and don't mind the cropping as well as being misled about the resolution, it is probably worth the money and is less hassle than using an actual scanner.Read full review

Easy to use however you need top end software such as photoshop to get good results, first to invert negative image then use auto tone or auto levels to get a good result, initial scan is washed out and not satisfying but when processed gives great results

Works very quickly compared to my flat bed scanner, however images are not as good. Will work on family type jobs, but not high quality images, washing out the colour slightly. Don't like having to pick it up to look at the image on the screen each time. Lead on the back is easily dislodged, which I think can only get worse with use.

Works very good as an easy to use film scanner. Also takes 110 neg film as well as other small formats and auto adjusts size and resolution. Saves all images to an SD card that you can remove to your computer. All in all - a nice looking freestanding unit that is worth the cost.
