Slide and Negative Scanner
Slide and Negative Scanner
Have you been using a 35mm camera for your photography over the years and wouldn’t have it anyother way? If you have then at some point you come to the realization that you have a raft of negatives and a good portion if not any have been converted to digital format. You probably have hundreds of pictures just lying around, taking up space and just waiting to be damaged. Those irreplaceable pictures of Aunt Becky, Uncle Bill, the last family vacation or any number of other special events you photographed.
Well maybe it’s time you considered purchasing a slide and negative scanner. In this digital age we live in a conversion to digital media is almost a necessity of life for two reasons. The first is to protect those memories you captured from loss and the second is as a way of sharing those memories with others. A new slide and negative scanner is fast, powerful, some don’t even have to be connected to the computer and their purchase price has come down to the point of being remarkable.
Ok for arguments sake let’s say you’ve made the decision “I’m converting my film to digital.” The next question to ask is “Do I just need to convert slides and negatives or will I want to do documents as well?” Either way there is a slide and negative scanner out there to fit either one or both of those needs.
If you decide that you’re only going to tackle slides and negatives then a compact digital film scanner is your best bet. These little gems can convert your slides or film into its digital equivalent in as little as 1 second. Then it will send the output to your computer via USB or store it in the onboard SDHC memory card, whichever is more convenient for you. The provided software that comes with most machines also allows you to tweak the final product to perfection.
Now if you come from the second group of people that want something more multi-purpose, so they can scan the occasional document, then a flatbed scanner is for you. Flatbed scanners (depending on the machine) can batch process up to (4) slides or (12) 35mm frames at a time. They also feature high-luminance white LED lamps, thereby reducing warm up time to near zero. Also, do your negatives contain dust, scratches or other imperfections? Not to worry! The provided software will help fix that as well.
So if you have decided that it’s time to empty all those shoe boxes filled with film and start converting those slides and negatives, then just scroll down and find the slide and negative scanner that will perfectly fit your needs.
