I ended up with a thousand family slides that no one reallly wanted or had the equipment to view. Some being over 50 years old they were physically not good and the content was hit or miss. The Epson v500 scanner I had would work and do an excellent quality job but takes a long time and the effort wasn't worth the return. I have a Mac and waned to just do it. The Plustek 7400 is simple to use and the quality is well within my acceptable range. I basically ignored all the features of the silverfast solfware because it was beyond my desire to do anything but get the job done. I also didn't find the software too clear. I did call them with some startup questions and talked to a live person who was too happy to help. If you have really artsy type stuff or if you're anal you might not have the same opinion but it you just need to archive slides in your lifetime I would recommend this item.

Despite using this scanner on an old (not recommended by Plustek) slow computer (Xp Home, 866MHz, 256Mb ram and USB 1.1) the performance was surprisingly good. The Silver Fast software will occasionally indicate that the scanner is not ready or indicates an error that requires another attempt; but does not lock up and continues on. Because of the slow computer I perform a prescan and make manual color and exposure adjustments limiting the resolution to 500 dpi on a 4"x6" output. This setting produces a raw 17 Mb file that when compressed by the software yields a final 1.5 Mb file. The dust and scratch removal tool works well if your settings are not too aggressive. The ease of use is good and produces much more throughput than the flatbed scanner I used to use. The quality of the unit and accessories is good and should last if reasonable care is exercised. I can recommend this product to anyone wanting to digitize a large archive of 35mm slides or negatives.

I have had this scanner for 10 days. I am using it on a new Macbook Pro with a quad chip. The scanner itself does excellent scans. The software, Silverfast, is old and very much not user friendly. The first clue is that upon installation it requires Rosetta. The documentation for the software is over 500 pages and you actually have to read it to understand the software. The software works intermittently between crashes. In the 10 days I have been using Silverfast it has crashed at least 15 times. Silverfast has more adjustments than you could possibly ever use, and, for most people, more than you will understand. The Photoshop extension does not work at all. It requires old versions of the software before the CS series.Overall, the scanner makes wonderful slides, but the software is cumbersome, ancient, difficult to use and understand but necessary to use with this scanner. For the price the scanner is very good. But, the software is greatly overpriced.Update: Silverfast has rewritten the software and it works much better.

I'm going to review this scanner in relation to another film scanner I have used, the Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED. Why don't I still have the 5000? With the scanner and all the attachments I had, I had about $2K invested in the 5000. I finished a project I had with it almost 2 years ago so I sold it because I didn't want $2K just sitting around unused. Then a few weeks ago another huge project involving negative scanning came up. Unfortunately, I no longer had the $2K to re-invest in the 5000 setup so I went looking for other options. This scanner seemed to have the best performance in a budget film scanner based on reviews so I gave it a shot.Image Quality: I can't tell the difference between the two. Now, I need to mention that I don't scan at the full DPI that the scanner can do. With every film scanner I have tried (I have tried 3 different ones at this point; the other two I mentioned already and the third was a high end Canon flatbed scanner with filmstrip holders) I have found that full DPI results in an extreme loss of my time (takes way too long) as well as adding a lot of grain but adding no additional detail when pixel-peeped with Photoshop. So, I never scan at the highest DPI. On the 7300, the 7200DPI setting is indistinguishable from the 3600DPI setting in terms of detail so I use 3600. Again, I find no difference between the quality of the two scanners.Software: This, as it turns out, is the most important part of the scanning process. I have now used 3 different scanning software programs. I have used a Canon one, I have used the one that came with this scanner, and I have used a program available online called VueScan Professional. I have found that the worst thing you can do is use the software that came with this scanner. Do not use it! Really poor processing with this bundled software. Trust me on this, buy the Vuescan professional software online. It's not prohibitively expensive by any means and if you ask me it is essential to getting the most out of this (or any other) film scanner!Speed: Well, yes, the Coolscan 5000 does blow this scanner out of the water when it comes to speed. You do get something for your $1200 (with no attachments; up to $2K with the full compliment) If you are going to be doing this permanently, yes you will probably want the 5000. If this is a one time deal and you are on a budget, then the 7300 is probably the way to go at 1/5 the price, which brings me to the next bullet point...Price: The 7300 is 1/5 the cost of the Coolscan 5000 ED. Hey, you really can't beat that ratio.Build quality: 7300 is actually better than I thought in this respect. I was expecting a tiny and flimsy machine. It iss actually larger and more solidly built than I expected. That said, it is no 5000. The 5000 is a piece of military hardware compared to this--it's built like a tank.In summation, you will have to weigh your own personal preferences as far as speed and cost goes. To me, these are the only two variables. As I said I have found the quality to be indistinguishable. You are going to have to make your decision based on how much money you have and how much free time you have. It is a slow inexpensive scanner vs a fast expensive one. Please take my advice and read online reviews of the Vuescan software. Don't take my word for it on that; see what professionals say about that product. Just please don't waste your time with the bundled software that comes with this machine.

I was involved in a project utilizing old negatives and slides and the flatbed attachment was not making it. High end scanners were too expensive and the lower priced stuff had too many negative points in reviews. This scanner had decent reviews and so I gave it a shot. The reviews do not lie, but do it justice, this is a sweet piece of equipment with excellent packaging, and I was surprised with the handy carrying case. Yes, the negatives and slides are fed manually and the included software's interface is kind of kludgy on a Mac, but the results are excellent. In fact, I actually appreciated the simplicity of the manual feed. I had a slight problem with the included software and sent a message to tech support. I not only received a prompt response but it was by telephone, incredibly thorough and informative. What more can you ask for. High points: solid equipment, exceptional ease of use, effective software(- a star for the interface), amazing tech support and excellent results!!!

I bought the Plustek 7400 scanner as a potential replacement for an old Polaroid scanner to try to solve the problem that comtemporary PCs and Macs now barely support SCSI interfaces, if at all. I use an Epson 700 for all formats except 35mm, but have found that dedicated film scanners work better than the Epson for small film. This is barely true for the Plustek, even with some sharpening. I found the resolution disappointing and the software to be overly complex and horrible-looking compared with what I'm used to. Plustek should develop better software that is simpler and easier on the eyes--something understated like Epson's or even Photoshop. They should also improve the film holders--negatives move around in them and they mask too much of the image. The world still needs good scanners that are less expensive than the current Nikon model and Imacons, especially now that Polaroid is gone. Plustek, step up to the challenge so I won't have to return your product again!

Last month I bought a Nikon F5, then I need to Scan the film.When I check for the available options realized that the only major Photography companywhich stills sells film scanners was Nikon, and their scanners were not onlyexpensive, they were also hard to find..This Plustek Scanner is a real alternative, forget the bed scanners which claimsthat can scan film, the results are always awful with those..You can shoot with your 35mm camera and get full frame digital images using this scanner,You need to be very careful in the process, and using the highest resolution (7200 dpi) theprocess is very, very long (8 min. each slide). Sadly the results are not as good as what youcan get using a Full Frame Digital SLR, but the cheapest Full Frame camera is sell for about $2000,and you can get a very good film camera and this scanner for least than $1000 with pretty decent results.

Just started using the Plustek 7600ai, am very impressed with its speed and ease of use - the program takes a little time to get use to, but once you use it enough its not an issue - for the price and results from its capabilities product is well worth what it cost! I would also say that their tech support was extremely helpful!

Scanning decades of B&W fim...I was able to retrieve grossly underexposed negatives which I had given up on. This alone is of great value. Quite an advantage to have this tool when wet chemistry (and my light meter) fail to produce a satisfactory image. And, it's safe!

I purchased this scanner to convert my parents' aged and deteriorating slides to electronic format. I did a lot of research before buying, and many reviewers commented that Plustek scanners were great. They're absolutely right... this scanner converts negatives and slides to a digital format in great detail. The software included (I use the PC version) allows you to straighten the image, edit color levels and brightness, and do almost anything you want. With all of the options, though, it comes with a lot of learning. The publishers have included videos to show you how certain features work; they're recorded by a gentleman with a European accent which may cause some problems understanding the first time through. I haven't yet had to read the manual (included only on the CD, not in print copy), but you should expect to spend at least an hour playing around with the various options and seeing what they do. The manufacturer quotes a scan time of approximately 35 seconds per slide - be aware that this is for single pass scanning, and does not include multiple passes (for better dust/dirt removal) or processing time for despeckling or sharpening.All in all, a great device (even packed with its own padded carry bag - use it and toss the original box into storage if you like) that offers a myriad of options for making your scanned pictures as good as you want them. Just be prepared to trade some of your time for increased quality.

I've scanned about 300 slides and negs so far and am still learning the ins and outs of the software but really like it so far. Easy to set up, easy to use hardware. Software is great so far with one-click video instructions of how to use different aspects of it. I've been scanning mostly on 3600 DPI, which creates 50MB Tiff files.

after 2 weeks and over 700 negatives and slides scanned i find very little to complain about with this scanner. i am using this under osx leopard and have not tried the windows software.pros - depending on the quality of the negatives or slides the results can be absolutely amazing. some well preserved slides i scanned, kodak of unknown film type, at 1200 dpi produce 1.3 megabyte files of approximately 7.1 megapixles - 3320x2240 pixels. color saturation and replication was excellent using the default settings. color negatives from kodak gold 200 also scanned excellent using the default settings. slight changes to the saturation and brightness were necessary on a few of the negatives but those were a result of the lighting when the pictures were taken. for black and white negatives the default settings for kodak tmax 400 and trix 400 work very well. the only items i have needed to change are the brightness for midtones and overall brightness depending on how the picture was exposed orginally. several negatives i scanned at 2000 dpi, both color and bw, and the size of the files grows to about 11 megabytes each, 5577x3763 pixels. still excellent quality scan, just about 3 times longer to actually scan the file. i have not used the more advanced featurse for automatic scratch removal so i cannot comment on that part of the software. if your negatives or slides have been stored in protective sleeves, the 3 hole punch style with 6 sleeves for 6 pictures each seem to have worked best for me, the results can be fantastic. a few color negatives i have tried that were loose in the packets ritz camera would return your pictures in have a had a lot of scratches on the negatives.cons - 1. the software will not work without stamping a big DEMO text across the scans unless you register it thru the internet. this is lousy! especially as the software provided is an SE version. read Special Edition with less features than a full version. 2. user name has to be capital first letter of first name and capital first letter of last name. you cannot type your user name in all caps or all lowercase. registration fails otherwise but does not tell you why. 3. how do you this on a machine that does not have access to the internet? i.e. a dedicated workstation in an office would not be able to use it. 4. sometimes when scanning bw negatives the saturation will wig out and the displayed color will change to a purplish hue. turning the saturation setting to the lowest setting corrects this but i am not sure why it happens in the first place.neutral - as stated by others scanning is a little slow. you will not scan your entire collection in a weekend. considering the amount of tweaking i have done on underexposed or overexposed pictures i can see automatic scanning might not be best for everyone.final comments - on osx after the scan is complete the file is opened with preview so you can rotate it then if you need to. i would recommend this scanner to someone else who has the time, the collection, and the desire to scan a lot of negatives or slides. the only negative, pun intended, i have is the software registration - especially for an SE version of software.

I Received the Plustek OpticFilm 7300 35mm film scanner a few days after it was ordered for me as a birthday gift; it arrived at my home in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains in mint condition. It took me longer to find the instructions than it took to hook it up. I followed the six steps, loaded a 35mm color transparency (slide) pushed the IntelliScan button and saved it to a folder I'd built for copies. The first trial scan was a bit dark, so I used the on-screen adjustments and played for a couple of hours. One thing I should have purchased at the same time was a bulb/brush to clean the film. Some of my slides are 45 years old and are a tad dusty. Things tend to get that way in a den.

Shame on Amazon. I ended up with the Plustek Opticfilm 7200 as that was the only one available when I purchased it in November, 2009. I turns out the unit was 3 Models old and was probably 3 years out of date. I continue to be plagued with problems, incompatibility with Windows7 and the constant failure of the unit to sync to my PC without the need to uninstall and reinstall software each time I try it. When I finally contacted Amazon only 90 days after purchasing the unit, I was advised they would not accept it for return and that I would have to deal with the manufacturer. I don't know if the 7300 is anymore compatible with Windows7 or not. Just be advised that the product is at least 2-3 Models years outdated.

I just received my scanner today. Wonderful. This puts flat bed scanners to scan slides to shame! I've tried several gadgets and flat bed scanners over the years to scan slides and it was a royal pain in the butt.The setup was quite easy. After installing the drivers (the support website had the new drivers for Windows 7) I was able to use Gimp to acquire images from the scanner. I was able to scan 4 slides in about 4-5 minutes. Very easy and very quick.I would recommend if you buy this to use Gimp or make sure to get the newer version of SilverFast if you're using Windows. The SilverFast software provided with the scanner I received didn't recognize the new drivers properly so I can't use the software. I don't care, however, as I can use Gimp to acqure the images from the device.I am rating it 5 out of 5 beause these have dropped significantly in price and is the first scanning device that does the job on slides very well.

After getting back into 35mm film shooting, I was finding scanning with my Epson V500 very frustrating. Even with ANR glass inserts, it was still hard to avoid Newton Rings on my images. While the medium format scanning was great, something was lacking on the 35mm end. So I started searching for an affordable option that would yield acceptable results.As far as a dedicated 35 scanner goes, the Nikon Coolscans are top of the food chain, and out of my price range. I searched Flickr for a couple of weeks and viewed images scanned with different equipment. I decided I liked what I saw with the 7300 so I ordered it up. Amazon's shipping was ridiculously quick, by the way.What I get from the 7300 is beyond what I could have expected at this price point. The Silverfast software packaged with the scanner is $120 by itself. It is a very powerful piece of software with a tremendous amount of control. Once I got the basic understanding of the software suite down, the very first scan was amazing. It was the same sized tiff that I would get from the V500, but the detail in the grain was so sharp! I'm still blown away at the sharpness that this little scanner is able to read. When enlarging a file in Photoshop, it's just like looking through a grain magnifier in the darkroom. The negative holder holds the film very, very flat. Most film would have to be flattened under the weight of books for a day or two just to get a half way decent scan with the Epson.While it is missing some features, such as digital ICE, and auto-feed, it works perfectly for my needs. I also wish I was able to scan 100% of the image, borders included, but it's pretty close. The actual footprint of the scanner is tiny too, easy to fit on a desk.I love it and wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

This scanner works like scanners costing 10 -20x the price. I am impressed. However the software is not easy to figure out. Has so many options you mistakenly click the wrong button and jam the computer. It's best to use the simple scan option and clean and color correct the image with Photoshop or some other program. All in all, a great deal. Highly recommended.

Out of the box the 7300 does just what it should do. I am using it with my Corel photo software because that's what I'm used to. I am scanning slides from 1960 - 1965 at present and they look wonderful. I will try the supplied software later but for now the quick setup is zipping along and doing everything I need for clean, clear pictures.

Location of digital user manual is not immediately apparent, but is not really needed.

I hope this review helps out any MAC / OSX 10.5 people out there.My criteria was to buy a decent 35mm film scanner that fell within $200 - $300. Had to be OSX compatible and create scans around 5 megs each I believe it can go up to 12 meg scans.At first I thought I would be stuck with buying a really expensive scanner but did read some reviews of this Plustek. As others have described the instructions are lacking.Installation.Based on the my installation experience of the software this improved compared from the past reviews. I installed the silverfast software SE software and and started scanning within 10 minutes. I recommend that you also go to their website for the latest update. I received this in November 08 and was several revisions down. Everything went smoothly after the update.ExperienceDepending on the quality you are looking for this unit did go beyond my expectations with old 35mm film. The speed to scan is not bad. If you are using single pass. You can use up to 16 pass scans but that does take much longer (Noticed the Silverfast app would crash after first installing the sotfware. To fix this I ran disk utility to repair permissions and everything is working fine). A single pass scan take about a minute to show up on my macbook pro. Dust removal does work but really depends on how much damage was done to the film. The more damage, the more you will need to retouch using photoshop.Finally, the filter presets for the type of film does work great. Use this!Final ImpressionsAs I am writing this I dropped this down from 5 to 4 stars. For the price this is a great scanner. Works with my Macbook Pro and and does excellent scans. It is a manual feed scanner. I am taking one star away because it does not include the best documentation and the web site support is rather lacking. The Silverfast software is not as intuitive as other OS X applications but isn't too bad after getting used to it. If you have prior experience with scanning and retouching this is a great film scanner.

Mechanically it's simple to use. The software is something else however. After installing the software, one has to fine tune it to give optimal results. This isn't a bad thing just tedious, it's got a lot of filters to turn on or off. The results are well worth the tuneing.

I have used it for about a month. It is sooo slow. It also has glitches in the software. It was hard to install taking 3 attempts to even get it running. Quality of scans is satisfactory. Positioning of slides is poor and often takes a couple trys. It frequently gives the message, Not Responding and requires a second scan taking several minutes. A bunch of minutes if scanning at a level with quality. You can make a cup of coffee between scans and i mean starting with pumping the water, going to the store for the beans and grinding them by hand.If you have countless hours to dedicate to scanning your slides it might be OK. it took me three days to scan a tray of 100 slides. If you only have a few then go for it. If you have several hundred or thousands then prepare to spend the rest of your life doing this choir.

I was a professional photographer and photographic lab technician for a total of 17 years and find the Plustek 7300 a cost-effective and useful tool. I have approximately 8000, old slides and negatives to sort through, and I will probably only scan a small fraction of them, so a medium-priced,dedicated scanner like this Plustek makes sense for me.It gives amazingly detailed scans of both slides and negatives, even at just 3600 dpi. You can go even higher if you like, but the files become huge, and unless you are going to print a 16x20, you don't need to go beyond making a 3600 dpi/50 megabyte TIFF (which will convert to an approximately 5 to 8 megabyte JPEG). You can send 4 or 5 JPEGs of this size via e-mail at one time, but if you go bigger, expect a lot of problems.The Silverfast software that comes with it gives excellent control over color and contrast. Based on what I have read about flatbed film scanners, I doubt that I would have been satisfied with the resolution they offer as I have always been a high-definition hound. Neither am I worried about scanning every negative I ever shot, so I don't need the speed of a flatbed scanner. If you want to escape to your computer now and then to convert your best negatives and slides into a modern, useable format, this scanner will serve you well.

I've been using this scanner for a couple of days now, and have scanned approx. 50 negs.Pros: Works as promised. Installation is quick and easy. You can get the software installed and ready to work in minutes. I tried both Quick Scan and Intelliscan. If you are trying to preserve your treasured memory recorded on your negs, don't bother with Quick Scan as its result is quite poor. Intellican, together with SliveFast software, on the other hand can produce very good results. I'm now using Intelliscan exclusively to scan all my negs into digital photos. SilverFast software is powerful and feature rich. There are many switches and knobs you can turn to adjust your scan result. The build quality of this machine is also very impressive.Cons: I consider these things minor, but they do affect user experience.1) There are 3 Quick Start guides when you open the box, how will you know which one to go first? Well, let me document it here so everyone else can save some time. Follow the Quick Start guide for hardware and driver installation first. If you don't want to bother with Quick Scan that generates poor result, skip the guide on that. Follow the guide on SilverFast software installation guide. Once finished, you can start scanning your negs and slides using Intelliscan.2) The learning curve for SilverFast is steep because its documentation is not very well organized. The CD does contain QuickTime movies that explain various features in the software, but there is nothing to connect them together to give you a bigger picture on the work flow that you will go through. But I still find that to be more useful than the doc.3) The film holder is not the easiest thing to use. I wish it had "teeth" that can quickly and easily hold your neg strips in place.4) If you plan to scan all your negs accumulated over the years in one weekend, it won't happen.Conclusion: Overall, it's a very good machine that gets the job done. Result is good, and price is reasonable. For all the memory recorded on your early pictures, spending a bit time to preserve it is well worthwhile.

There are a few issues, but I'd buy it again. Originally, there was a film alignment issue: the frames had a 2 degree tilt and the bottom of the image was cut off. I probably should have sent it in for warranty work, but instead took it apart and fixed it. Now it looks great. SilverFast works okay, but the scratch & dust removal feature is pretty much worthless. Plan either to upgrade to a more expensive version of SilverFast, or spend a lot of time manually removing scratches and spots. And the scanning process itself takes awhile. If I was scanning professionally, I would not be happy. But the quality of the scans themselves is very good, so for personal use and considering the price, I'd buy it again.

This scanner is a marvel! It arrived less than 24 hours after I'd place theorder, and it has changed my life! I'd struggled with terrible name-brandflat-bed scanners for years [they produced terrible noise in the shadows andwere dead-slow at resolutions above 200dpi] in my efforts to digitalize acollection of many thousands of treasured 35mm slides dating back 50 years.Not only is this scanner incredibly fast compared to the my old ones, but itdoes a triple pass for every slide, then averages the results to produceimages that are beautiful and have no noise in the shadows. I've succeededin making wonderful pictures from slides that were terrible! One set, veryimportant to family memories, taken in 1969 at a special occasion, had beenunusable due to inadequate flash technique [they made everyone look likestainless steel; i.e., no flesh tones and gleaming highlights]. Due to thecapacity to try different resolutions [up to 7200dpi] and then use theremarkable software to achieve optimal tones, I was able to resurrect theentire collection, with the exception of a few that had been hopelesslyunderexposed. Trouble with finding the detente position for the slide carriagereported for earlier/other models has been eliminated on this model. While Ican't just set it and walk away the way commercial processors would have todo, I'm thoroughly delighted with this unit. Thank you, Plustek & AOL.

Does an excellent job. I had to disable my camera on the computer to get it working however. On the other hand I was guided very carefully and tactfully by a telephone service person who responded promptly (next day) to my e-mail for help.

This is marginal at best. If you are looking for high quality imaging, THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT. It was so bad I returned it for a refund.If you purchase - here's what you'll experience:1. Inordinate amount of time to capture the image.2. Image quality is poor.Save your money.

I've done some research on scanners but still wasn't sure if this was the right one.. That was until I set it up and used it. Great Unit! Made the right choice, good quality, very happy with the results.

This is the second one of these I have purchased. The first on was windows only, but didn't say so on the Amazon site. I bought it through AntOnLine via Amazon marketplace, won't do that ever again. Ant would not take the return because they said they don't take returns on things with optics. So I gave that scanner as a gift to someone who uses windows. I bought this new scanner, now Mac compatible, but NO mac instructions in the docks. The driver disc had no Mac software. I tried the Silverfast software, again no Mac instructions, but DID find a Mac instal, after really looking around on the Silverfast disc. It installed well, weird install but worked fine, and now Silverfast talks to the scanner and I can finally scan!! But just to prove the Mac software still has need to improve, there is no quit command. You need to use command Q or force quit. But it works, it works well, and that's all I really care about.

Yes, It's slow but worth the wait. I left film photography several years ago to get "into" the digital era. But I missed the quality of Ilford and Kodak B&W film. Plus I have tons of Negatives laying around. As a result, I've taken my old film camera's out from storage (Nikon fe, Nikon f100) and began shooting several roles. I then decided to have most of my c41/b&w film developed at the local mini lab and scanned on a disc for digital editing... The best of both worlds I thought.But something was missing... I soon realized that taking film to get developed by others takes the fun out AND is frequently a hit or miss experience. So I dug into my storage room and found my developing/darkroom equipment and then began to do some research on quality 35mm scanners. Plustek was the best for it's price and was recently reviewed on Shutterbug mag. The downfall... Plustek Opticfilm 7200 wasn't MAC compatible. BUT... to my surprise this new model (7300) as well as the 7500 are now MAC compatible. Fairly quick and painless to set up and get started. And yes it takes some time to scan (especially at highter res) but I'm in no hurry especially since I'm so particular of results. I totally recommend this scanner to anyone looking to digitize old 35mm film or for those creative folks that want to use both analog and digital formats. Does the trick!

This product works as advertised. Well made. Very easy to use although the provided software isn't. I just use Adobe Photoshop.

Easy to use with good quality results but it can be a time-consuming process. Probaby not the best for someone with thousands of 35mm negatives to process as there is no "batch processing"...

The Plustek scanner has been great so far after 700 slides is working great. I use it with OS X Leopard. The photos are looking great and get a color and brightness tweak automatically. there are shortcuts you will use when you get used to it. Obviously scanning one slide at a time is going to be slow to go but the quality is extremely high and the files can be very large if you choose to save them that way.Installing the program was a bit of a challenge, I had to register it online first before it would work.I hope this helped someone to choose this scanner, it is really a great buy for the money
