 Completely useless. Software won't run. Their software supplier says "it's not our problem." January 8, 2009
Richard N. Cote (Mt. Pleasant, SC)
I was hoping that this beautiful-looking little scanner would work as well as it looked. It didn't. It could not be made to operate, period. After installing and reinstalling the software four times as directed by the manuals, the error message "uTwainExe.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" always shut down the scanner. The Help Desk at ArcSoft, who makes the ArcSoft Photoimpressions 6.1 software software program that runs the Ion Slides2PC scanner, made it clear from his unhelpful, uncaring "it's-not-my-problem" attitude that the uTwainExe.exe program crash wasn't their fault, and offered no suggestions on how resolve anything.
I had been thrilled at the prospect of scanning slides I made during the Vietnam War for a book I'm writing, but now, those pictures have to remain 1" x 1.5" pieces of Ektaccolor film. ArcSoft and Ion should be ashamed of this kind of response to a legitimate registered user of their products.
P.S.: The seller of the device did their job well: good packing, fast shipping. THEY weren't the problem.
 Nice little scanner for the price January 7, 2009

This is a nice slides scanner for the price. It works well for transforming those old slides to digital pictures. Have not tried it for negatives yet, but the slides come out wonderfully. It would be nice if the tray held more than 3 slides though.

Easy to use.Biggest problem is the plastic slide carrier. It is cheap and flimsy. I dont see it lasting to long, considering all the slides I am trying to convert. They should include extras in the box.If this carrier thing breaks, I'm screwed.Other than that ,it is a small unit,and easy to hook up.Be advised; if you have many,many slides to convert, it is a somewhat long and slow process. But at the end it should be worth it.
 Great scanner - worked better than expected. January 6, 2009
TR (Half Moon Bay, CA United States)
I have over 100 negatives from a Nikonos V (underwater camera). I knew that there were several photos that were great, but that most were poor. From a previous experience I knew that to find the good ones I would have to pay a professional scan house to scan them all, which would cost at least $200. That was my motivation to buy this unit.
Now that I have it, and have scanned all of the negatives, I can say that I'm extremely pleased with the results - the digital images are actually better than I expected. I used the highest resolution which gave me a 5184 x 3360 resolution image for the JPG file. It takes a few seconds to scan and then transfer but not unreasonably long. The only weird thing is that the scans first have a very strange color - very reddish. So you only see the right coloring after you transfer the images to disk. But at that point, it is quite good. I had no need to photoshop any of them.
I had none of the problems mentioned by others. The ArcSoft SW installed and runs fine on a Dell PC with Windows XP. I have not tried slides. Bought it from GizmosForLife, and they shipped quickly and securely.
So based on my experience, I highly recommend this product.
This product was misrepresented January 6, 2009
Michael A. Stelzner (San Diego, CA USA)
I purchased this scanner as a Christmas gift for my wife. I looked high and low for one that worked on the Mac. I purchased the product. After the new year my wife unboxed it, only to see notes all over it that said Windows only.
Reviewing the site, I can see that the specs have been changed. But for me, it was too late! I will be promptly asking for a refund.
