Excellant product

copying slides and prints

This digitizer works just fine for the 4x6 prints I have tested it with. I have not yet tested it with the 110 and 126 negatives, but I suspect it will work fine. The instructions for usage are clear and unambiguous. I have a mountain of prints to digitize so I am steeling myself for the long haul because I can only digitize one print at a time - takes about 10 seconds in aggregate. So multiply 10 seconds by 1000 prints and that is the task.

I have thousands of pictures to scan. This is a game-changer. I can scan 5 in the same time it takes to scan 1 with my printer/scanner. So worth the money. I may order a couple and have a scanning party.

I have many hundreds of slides passed down to me and was hoping this little machine would help make scanning a large quantity of slides easier. It really wasn't... It's not so much that the process to scan them was difficult, but more that it's tedious and the quality wasn't as good as I expected. I don't have a lot of experience with scanning slides, but having played around with this device for a few weekends has left me feeling that whatever the cost is for someone else to scan my slides will be worth it! I didn't scan any photographs, but if that's of interest to you, this will scan up to 4x6" photos. I feel as though a regular scanner would be a better investment if you're looking to scan a lot of photos and expect crisp resolution.

Product working nicely. Was expecting a little more automatism though.

Scanned a bunch of negatives and man is the quality extremely poor. The instructions are almost non existent, so doing trial runs and none of them tur out good. Very disappointed in this product.

You get a lot for the money but it is tiresome manual process if you have a lot of photos and you need to back-curl photos to get them to lay flat and not distorted image. A curled image will also reflect the two rows of LEDs that light up the image. If the image is flat, that is not an issue. So I would have wished to have a way to make the image flat besides my back-curling them. But I am happy that all these photos are now on-line on my computer rather in envelopes in boxes in the garage.

Easy to use. Scans slide in seconds. Creates jpg image for fast transfer to computer via SD card or USB cable.

This small scanner has an internal camera that does give high-resolution scans: 5856x3904, anywhere from 2.5 MB to 6 MB in size. This allows for a high-quality print. It is a bit clunky to use, requiring multiple presses of buttons to adjust for color and brightness levels, which are limited in scope, but helpful when color correcting old slides. The slide holder, as well, did not grip the slide well so it moved freely when put into the scanner, requiring a reset often. The slides can be viewed on your TV screen after scanning them, but the RCA video cable provided doesn't offer a very sharp image. Also, an SD card must be purchased to increase the storage capacity to 32 GB. The bottom line is that this scanner will give you very nice scans, it just takes some time to adjust each one, as needed. For a small-scale operation, it works well if you're not in a hurry.

I got this photo scanner to scan our old photo collection for my father. It is very simple to operate. Few buttons to scan the picture. It looks like an olden time scanner system for non-tech people. Which is just what I was looking for my father.In fact, this scanner works like a digital camera. Steps are very simple steps. Place on the picture and click the OK button.Picture quality is not that great as a regular scanner but it is very simple to operate anyone can do it without any help. That makes it perfect for my father who loves managing that old picture from the album.I have not tried anything with films since I don't have it. I do see the battery box but it does not come with it. One picture which I have tried took around 4 MB memory. It comes with a 4GB SD card which will be good enough to capture lots of pics.I did not like its size which is around 6" X 8" X 8" inches. Also can not scan picture larger than 4" X 6" inches.I do not recommend it if you are looking for a quality picture with this scanner. But if you are not a tech person and looking for a simple device to scan with the click of a button than definitely this is the scanner you want to try.

As I've said many times, technology has certainly changed around me and has changed for the better. I have an old unit like this, from about ten years ago, and this unit just blows that one out of the water. The picture quality is wonderful and the ability to preserve photos we foolishly stuck into "sticky page" binders, so many years ago, is a gift we are treasuring. I highly recommend this item. It does exactly what it is designed to do, does it very well, saving memories and allowing us to share treasured moments and faces with those who are still here to see them. Good luck finding what will work for you. This is an amazing little machine and I just love it.

We returned this. We have many slides to scan. This machine made the process cumbersome. You can scan directly to a card but then you have to stop and restart to copy from card to the computer. The Slide display screen on the machine is small and makes it difficult to see any adjustments to the slide.

FAQs
The Magnasonic FS60 film scanner can scan a number of different film formats including:
35mm film strips, 35mm slides, 110 film, 126 film and 4x4, 4x6, 4.2x3.2, 3.5x5, 3.4x2.1 photos. It can also scan in black and white, or in full color!
No, the FS60 cannot scan undeveloped film. It is important to never expose undeveloped film to light as it will overexpose and damage the film which cannot be recovered. Although most retailers don’t offer the option of developing film, some specialty photography shops offer the service.
While a computer is not necessary, it is highly recommended. The FS60 can scan directly to an SD card inserted in the scanner.
To view the scanned images, insert the SD card into a TV or computer with an SD card slot.
The FS60 will accept SD cards up to 32GB in size.
When powering on the FS60, it must be connected to either a USB port, or USB power adapter to turn on.
Absolutely! FS60 is compatible with MacOS 10.5 and up!
