Digital camera reviews of Plustek OpticFilm 7200 7200DPI Film Scanner
Digital camera Review: An exceptional scanner.
Summary: 5 Stars
This scanner for slides and negatives was not only easy to use but was compact in size. It worked well with my Windows XP program and the pictures could be manipulated to change the amount of light and the color quality of the pictures. This is a superior product!Digital camera Review: Good optical quality, poor documentation and software
Summary: 4 Stars
The product delivers excellent quality for the price. Slide scanning is easy and the machine is beautifully calibrated. However, don't even think of installing the accompanying software if you're using Windows Vista. Instead, first download and install the latest scanner driver from Plustek. Then register the SilverFast software (a confusing process), download the latest version for your operating system. Some online users suggest that you need to purchase the latest SiverFast version, but that's not true. You can download the latest version for free if you first register the shipped software. It took me an hour of tinkering before I could scan my first slide, but it was worth it. This is probably the best negative and slide scanner in this price range. If you're willing to use a used model, you can find it even cheaper.
I would avoid calling Plustek customer support if you can. Trust me on that one.
Digital camera Review: Good hardware bad software
Summary: 3 Stars
I found the hardware very easy to use. It consistently produced sharp copies of my slides, but the color was generally very poor, tending to purple. I spent several hours trying to use the included software to adjust the color and was able to get reasonable landscape tones, but never could get decent flesh tones. Fortunately, I own a copy of Adobe Photoshop, which does a great job of cleaning up the color. Without Photoshop, I would probably have returned this unit. Paired with Photoshop, it does a great job.Digital camera Review: Outstanding scanner
Summary: 5 Stars
This scanner performs great, I can get the same results compare to other products costing 3 times more, do.
I would like to see, if they will offer other film carriers for medium format.
Digital camera Review: I was very pleasantly surprised1
Summary: 5 Stars
I had thought that these old slides my dad had taken during his camera buff days were pretty much useless unless I wanted to display them with a projector...which I didn't want to do. But I saw this product and read a few comments from other purchasers and decided to give it a try.
I had a little trouble getting started (my fault) but have shared many of these pictures since then with friends and family.
Only negative aspect that I see is that after each slide I save to Adobe Photoshop there is a 30-45 second delay before I can scan another one. This may be my fault...but it is worth the wait.
