SVP FS1000 Film Scanner

A piece of the scanner broke off the first time I used it. The software stalls continuously making you close the program.

It takes some practice, but the end product is good quality. Note: you need to open the box to manually adjust the lighting and then take each slide on a case-by-base basis.

The unit (and software) worked well (brightness override was a little cumbersome) and did the job until about the 600th slide. An internal spring that controls positioning, and the green "go" LED, broke. I could still use it but it took longer to...

The scanner worked perfectly, actually better than expected. The cost was well worth it to save my slides and put on computer. I would reccommend highly!

The quality of the scan is very poor. There is way too much loss of detail to make this a good option to convert negs or slides to digital.
