Digital camera reviews of VuPoint FS-C1-VP Film and Slide Digital Converter

Digital camera Review: 1 Star is too much!
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased this item from a local store for my father. We wanted to scan all of our old family slides and put them on a DVD for everyone at Christmas. We paid around $100 for this item. What an enormous waste of time and money.

The scanner itself was constructed to be quite sturdy. However, the software that came with it was extremely difficult, unclear and not user-friendly at all - even to people who are experienced with many different programs. The tray to place the slides in was very difficult to open and close and therefore, took a lot of time to load and unload. Also, very old slides from the 1960's scanned better than those from later dates and they changed from a rectangular design to a square one. This caused the later slides to be cut off on the edges. The converter automatically calibrates when first used. However, we never were able to figure out how to calibrate it again after that first time. We found the "calibrate" button, but it was grayed out and therefore not useable. After we scanned a number of slides, we noticed that they were not clear at all and also they all came out very washed out. Especially in photos that were light in color to begin with. We did figure out that if you scanned it immediately, it was better. However, the picture quality was poor at best. In short, save your money for one of the more expensive scanners that actually does the job - don't waste your time or money on this one.
