All-in-One 24MP Film Scanner with Large 5" Display & HDMI, Converts 35mm/126/110/Super 8 Film & 135/126/110 Slides into Digital Photos, Built-in Memory (FS71)

This is the third film to digital scanner I've purchased, and it is the best. The others worked, but not easily and I always had problems. This unit has a nice display to show you where your alignment is and it captures good quality images from the slides. It is a nice size, not too big, not too small. You'll need to remember to check for dust and clean it, but that is simple with the supplied cleaning stick (or a can of compressed "air"). I highly recommend this unit for home users - professionals may have different standards, but it certainly would work for their proof sets.

I finished scanning over 8,000 negatives (up to 35 years old), including one Black&White set of negatives. On the whole, this is a really awesome little gadget. It does all the basics, very efficiently, and with a very minimal learning curve. I managed to complete my scanning in less than 6 weeks, working basically on weekends (maybe 40-60 hours tops). It really beats having to scan your prints, using your home printer, at the rate of 3 minutes per print, assuming you have a decent copy of your prints. With this machine, it takes longer to get the negative out of its current location, identify the proper side, than to load it and make the digital copies. I have not tried any of the other similar products, so I'm not sure how they compare. What I've used: - Different negative types (mainly 35 mm, color & black&white, some 110, some 126) - it has all of the adapters - A perfect little dust brush to clean the interior glass surface on a regular basis (particularly if you own cats/dogs in the house). - The brightness setting for particularly under or over-exposed pictures. Keep in mind that it won't make the picture better, just lighter or darker. What you'll need: - an SD card to load your scanned images, which you'll then need transfer elsewhere A couple of things that could be improved: - With the included adapters, you can only scan the equivalent of a 4x6 ratio, which you can easily adjust horizontally (left or right) as you see fit, but which you cannot adjust vertically (top or bottom), meaning that it crops the top and bottom for you systematically. The only way around the vertical cropping is not to use the adapter and feed the negative without the adapter, at the risk of not positioning it quite right. I only did that for a few pictures. - It would have been nice to have a USB cable into your computer directly and skip having to scan the negative onto an intermediary SD card. I guess it was fine though, the SD card served as my backup until I copied the photos to alternate devices. However, the SD card adds on to the overall price of the project, but you can repurpose the card later. - The default color may not be perfect, although who knows whether it's the machine's fault, or the deterioration of the colors on the negative strip itself. I had a hard time using the feature without the original print for comparison. A few things to keep in mind: - If your negatives are in good shape, and were high quality to begin with, this machine will work beautifully. If your negatives are bad, no machine in the world will make them better. - If you need a poster size high-quality image, then you might consider taking those negatives to a professional. But for 4x6 prints, this machine is fine. For perfection, you'd have to invest in a much fancier, pricier and more time-consuming device. If you have the time and money, that would be ideal. In the meantime, this little machine is pretty nice.

Does the job nicely. It's quick and pretty accurate. It does cut off a little bit of the 35mm slide but not enough to make much difference. Transferring the images to my Mac is easy and quick. The internal memory only holds around 15 images but after transferring them it's easy to delete the memory and start again. I wouldn't use it much for editing the images. Just transfer to your computer and use your editing software for that. The only quirk I noticed is that when a slide is very dark, the screen flickers like it's about to crap out but once you remove that slide everything goes back to normal. This probably isn't for a professional but it's great for average home use to convert your slides.

Can’t recommend highly enough!! I looked through a ton of similar models and am thrilled with this one. It has done a great job on my grandpa’s 135mm slides from 1940s-1970s. It’s been awesome to have the option to digitize negative film also! Very user friendly and dependable for a great price

The least tech savvy person in the house has been using this to scan in a life time's worth of slides and negatives, it doesn't require a computer to work just blank SD cards to put the files on, the controls are like a VCR or DVD player, and the screen is the size of a smart phone. It's kept grandma occupied since it got in. When the SD card(s) is full you open it on your computer, drag and drop the files on to the computer, then takes the files from the card to the trash and empty the trash to make sure the card is empty. The scanner will take care of the rest. The scanner does give the files a generic name like "image 001" and so on so if you're doing a lot just make a separate folder each time you empty a card and edit later. Negatives will be scanned in negative *edit* it was discovered there is a setting that makes them positive, as I said the user is not computer savvy and was using the mode for slides *edit*. I can't say what this will do for anything fancy or in the fine print department but it does get the job done.

This is an excellent product, easy to set up and use, with great results. I had previously tried scanning old slides with an Ion “slides forever” device, but the quality was terrible because of low resolution. This Magnasonic is more expensive but there’s no contest when it comes to quality. The resulting images are clear and bright. You have to feed slides manually but it’s quick and easy - each slide pushes the previous one out the other side. Exposure or colour can be adjusted when (rarely) needed, though not in detail. The device has a very small internal memory so it’s advisable to buy some standard SD cards for bulk processing. Important note: it will only work with lower capacity cards - 2GB recommended (which will hold a few hundred images). Files can be transferred to computer via card reader or direct from the device. No software needed.

高解像度は期待しない事〰️✨ あくまでも大量のフィルムから必要なモノをチョイスし軽い気持ちで電子化する用と考える❗

Very good item, highly recommended.

It's easy to use and good quality

I was looking for this product for long. I had tried to convert my negative to digital format using digital camera and home made projector using various DIY publications and they didn’t work for me. Using the Panasonic converter I have converted around 700 negatives to digital format. Only problem comes when the picture is of snow or very bright objects. The middle parts of such photos show yellowish tint.The professional positive hard copies are much better.
