Summary: Slide Scanning
Comment: I think this scanner is a wonderful product for 35mm slides or for negatives.
However, I have slides I wanted to convert that date back to the 1950's and the adaptors they have don't work for these.
The software is very user friendly and would work quite easily with the scanner.

Summary: Nothing works
Comment: ** Not Reccommended**
Purchased as a gift in August. Opened a week ago. Spent the last week trying to get Win Xp to recognise the Vu Point scanner. Many drivers and reloads later all I have is a little black box with a red light and a message from windows that says "USB Device Not Recognised".

Summary: Terrible image quality - only a gadget
Comment: I purchased this scanner to digitize my late parents' slides for the rest of our family. Figured it would be easier to use than the flatbed one I already had (Epson Perfection Photo 1260 with transparency adapter). It didn't take long to see how disappointing the results were - a slide which looked beautiful in a viewer looked awful in the VuPoint. The "camera" overloads very easily, which washes out a great deal of detail. Putting two layers of tracing paper underneath the slide helped to relieve that problem, but threw the colors off. I bought this thing to scan precious slides with, not to fiddledick with in hopes of getting acceptable results.
When I went back to my old flatbed, the results were vastly better. The VuPoint was a waste of time and money.

Summary: works, but has issues
Comment: My mother received this as a gift last christmas, and was anxious to try it out - installed without any issues, but didn't work for long. It would scan a couple of slides, then nothing. the preview screen would not show anything.
After rebooting, and reinstalling, it would work again, but for just a few slides.
I later tried it on my laptop, and it seemed to work, for a while, then had the same issues. Couldn't scan any more slides. Customer service non-existent.
I pulled it out of the closet recently after several months, and tried it again on my laptop(with vista home premium). This time it worked without any problems. I was able to scan about 2 dozen photos (very slowly) without any hiccups or memory issues. After reading reviews, the old issues could have been related to unpowered USB ports.
This would be much easier as a two man operation, with one person to prepare the slides, and one to do the scanning. If you have a friend, an extra slide tray would be extremely helpful. (Anyone know where I can get one?) For a large number of slides, this is going to be a painfully slow process. And that doesn't include any touch-ups that will be required. Half of my time was spent deciding which slides I wanted - it is too slow, I don't want to waste my time scanning un-wanted pictures.
If it works for you, then this is a reasonably priced option, if it doesn't work right away, I would send it back. (I wish we had).

Summary: very good!!!
Comment: easy way to convert negatives, the interface is clear, only takes between 20 or 30 seconds per photo, sometimes the light is too strong and you need the photoimpresion software to dark it.
