Digital camera reviews of Plustek OpticFilm 7200 7200DPI Film ScannerDigital camera Review: A Best Buy Summary: 5 Stars
My dad over the years has accumulated a sizable collection of slides that he has given to me. As I live in the digital age I needed an easy way to convert these to a digital format. It was down to this and another scanner and decided to go with it based upon previous Amazon reviews, as well as general appearance. As for setup it was done in as long as it took to load the software. Once loaded you hit the power button and then the button to initiate the imaging software and away you go. Being an IS person I wanted to see how easy it was to set up and begin scanning with little reading of the reference material. With just a few times that I needed to check the documentation I was scanning in no time. Considering that my dad's slides have been in the attic for close to 20 years the images that the scanner produced were very acceptable (issue due to heat, not the device or software). For the price I paid I have to say its a good scanner for the purpose it serves.
