Product Review (submitted on January 26, 2021):

I almost never write reviews but this product exceeded my expectations. I purchased the FS52 to scan 2500 old slides in order to share the images with family members. I was pleased with the speed and ease of scanning slides. This review is based completely on scanning 35mm slides, I did not try scanning negatives or movie film. Image quality was good and looked fine on a computer monitor and on a 50 inch TV. Some of my slides seemed to fit tightly in the adapter and required light force to feed them through but I believe this was due to some of the slides being warped slightly. I did not experience this with the vast majority of slides. One thing to remember is the last slide you feed into the adapter will not scan unless you follow it with one additional slide to push the last slide into scanning position. I scanned my slides one box at a time so I needed to do this at the end of each box. The adapter also had to be removed after each box to clear the last couple of slides. I tried the brightness and color adjustment but decided to forgo this in exchange for speed of scanning and planned on performing any adjustments post scan using PC software. The only slides that required any adjustment were slides that had poor image quality to start with. Although you can scan without additional memory in order for it to be usable with more than a few slides at a time a memory card is a must. Overall I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it especially for creating digital images of old family slides that can then be easily shared.
