Digital camera reviews of Plustek OpticFilm 7200 7200DPI Film Scanner
Digital camera Review: Excellent, More than I Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautiful pictures & colours, even with QuickScan. SilverFast definitely needs computer savvy, so if you are computer shy stick to QuickScan - like its name, it is quick (and trivial). SilverFast on the other hand has great Global Colour Correction and Scratch Removal features. I use 3600 dpi for best results. The resultant file is indeed large; but who cares, in this day & age of limitless space hard disks and DVDs... Digital camera Review: excellent little scanner
Summary: 5 Stars
I am scanning slides at 1200 to 1800 dpi, using mostly the default color optimization and corrections on each slide. Some post-editing is required to remove blemishes from dirty slides, but I expected that. The SilverFast software was a little confusing to set up at first, but it works great! I am scanning slides at the rate of 2.5 minutes per slide, including minor touchup on a fraction of the resulting photos.
I am very pleased with this little scanner. The carrying case is a nice extra touch.

Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this slide scanner because of the good reviews and high praise for the SilverFast software that comes with it and I was not disappointed. This small machine provides great reproduction from slides and the editing ability of SilverFast has helped me clean up damage on 40 year old slides. I found both the scanner and the software to be easy to use. Slides load securely into the 4-slide carriage. Everything is well made, even comes with a case which holds all components of the set.Digital camera Review: disappointing

It's going back to Amazon. Very poor instructions. Poor scan quality on negatives.Digital camera Review: Inexpensive Easy to use scanner
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first slide and color negative scanner. Though i have used scanners for documents and pictures since the days of the 80286, I had no idea what to buy to catalog over 50 years of family slides and negatives.
For the price, this scanner did exactly what I wanted, was easy to learn to use. You can scan four slides, or one strip of negatives. You must advance the slides manually for each scan, but the included film holders let you preload. It comes with three pieces of software, once, which i have learned is one of the best named Silverfast SE. This is a fully licensed copy, and I was able to download a software update immediately after registering the included serial number.
Prescanning at a low resolution is quite fast. Editing is simple once you master a workflow. I can scan about 30 to 40 slides in about 40-60 minutes. Once you decide on a specific slide to do a full detail scan on for image enhancement and repair, a scan can easily last 4 minutes for a 7200 DPI (optical) scan. Interpolation allows even higher dpi, though i can't imagine that being necessary.
I was able to use the included twain drive with PaintShop Pro, and their is an included plugin for Photoshop users.
I highly recommend this scanner.
