Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Scanners
Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- You may also like
Although there were no instructions it was really easy to use as you just needed to flick through the menus. Even if the slide went in the wrong way round it was easy to flip the photo and although I initially needed to save to the SD card, I could easily upload via the USB cable (also used to power the scanner) to my laptop. I am no whizz with technology but this was pretty straightforward and I managed to scan and save over 1000 old slides over the course of a few days. The quality of each photo appeared to match the quality of the original slide, I just needed to take care that I had them in the holder correctly so that I didn't cut off parts of the photo during scanning and so that the slide holder could fit through the scanner as it is a snug fit. A cost effective way to save our memories but I will probably sell it now the job is done so someone else can do the same.Read full review

After finding a large collection of old 35mm negatives I began looking for a means of digitising them and re living old experiences. I looked at a number of options , one of which was the Veho and was a bit apprehensive of its performance after reading some reviews. I am not a professional photographer and was only looking for an acceptable reproduction to save for prosperity so decided to buy the product. What a great decision that was! It is so easy to operate and within minutes I was fast at work copying what turned out to be over 3000 negatives. I can accept that a professional might want better quality but surely the end product is only as good as the origiinal and for my purposes getting the results that I did from 40 year old negatives was more than I could have anticipated. The Veho screen provides a basic idea of the framing and colour range of the negative but when transferred to the computer the photos come alive. If you are looking for totally easy option, without bells and whistles to capture your old images, in my opinion this is a great option. Read full review

Quick and easy to use scanner .Colours can be a bit washed out with 35mm negatives, but these can be re-adjusted in my editor. Scans colour slides fine! LCD screen makes lining up negatives easy work.

This slide copier is great, it is not designed for my computer and will not work with windows 10, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. It will load hundreds of good quality slides as digital photo's on to the included SD card and then you can transfer them, in seconds, on to your computer. It will take 3 slides in a slide carrier and you can copy all three in about 2 minutes. It's a bit of an anti climax, as it is so easy.

Being of an age which means I have drawers full of mounted slides and folders full of old negs, I needed to get them all onto the computer as getting a projector and screen set up seemed hardly worth the time and effort. I read up several reviews on slide and neg scanners, and didn't find many which impressed me a great deal. I have bought Veho gear in the past, and found it to be very good, so I decided to buy the Smartfix 8. What I did like straight away, is that the slide carrier takes mounted slides, both card and plastic, so no need to take the slides apart for scanning. Operating the Smartfix 8 is simple and straightforward, and the results were impressive. The small preview screen is adequate, showing negs as positive photographs and direct connection to the destination computer means the slides and scanned negs were transferred, named and numbered in seconds. The only minor problem I found with this gadget is that it occasionally needed to be switched off and back on again as it just locked up for no good reason. I had some really old black and white negs in poor condition, but the scanner dealt with them and the resulting pics on the computer were finally enhanced to near original quality with photo editing software. I also managed to get some old 2 inch square colour negs on to the glass, and was able to get usable images on to the computer, and stitched the scans together. The 35 mm slide carrier only takes strips of six negs at a time, so old longer strips had to be cut to length to avoid damaging them. Like most people, I expect, I transferred hundreds of negs and slides in one mad session, but then the hard work of sorting and enhancing them begins, and it seems endless. Better, I think, to do small batches at a time, and keep track of the pics as they are edited. This little scanner is excellent, and does exactly what it says on the box. It is simple and easy to use, and the battery charges via the USB cable to the computer. The software which comes with the scanner, ArcSoft MediaImpression is quite good, but I prefer the enhancement software I am used to. Having said that, I suppose if you have not used programmes like this before, and got used to the ArcSoft system, it does the job very well. When you think about it, this little scanner does in seconds what used to take a week or two at the chemists or photographic studio, and what's more, it does it exceptionally well.Read full review
