And while it's fast, you can get similar results with most modern printers, which cost less than the $200 this regularly retails for. The downside here is that it'll only do photos. It'll even protect your pictures too, with smooth rollers that feed the photo through the machine itself. What we love about this device is the speed at which it scans, and how easily it'll chew through large batches of images. From there you can use the scanner's built-in editor to crop and resize images, or opt to do closer image work with specialized photo editing software. It connects directly to a PC or Mac, and will send the digital file to your hard drive instantly. It's a compact, simple photo scanner, which will happily scan and digitize an old 6x4 photo in about 2-3 seconds. If you're here looking for photo scanners, and not just slide converters, then the Plustek Z300 is for you. Plustek ePhoto Z300: Best for digitizing photos Once digitized, images seemed to be of decent quality overall but certainly not the best we saw – they looked slightly overexposed and had a bluish tint.ģ. The converter works with 35mm, 110 and 126 film and slides as well as Super 8 film.
As we tested, we felt like some of the selections could be more intuitively labeled – for example, it says “film” when “film type” might have made it more intuitive. However, that’s a common omission for this type of product. It has all the standard buttons, as does the software’s menu, except for editing options.
Buttons for navigating the converter’s menu are located along the top of the device. It comes with a soft brush for cleaning dust and other debris off your film and slides, along with a user manual, TV cable, power cable and plastic frame trays to hold your media during the conversion process.Įach of the included frame trays has a notch on the bottom, so you can only slide it in so far to cycle through photos, you have to push in a new slide or piece of film manually. This gadget also ships with a lot of helpful additional tools. The only real issue we had with this machine was that it packs a very small display, but you can easily plug it into your TV screen, PC or MacBook for a better viewing experience. It’s a capable little gadget, which was more than capable of handling our old negatives and slides. Don’t let the price tag on this machine fool you.
