Pros

It works!

No need to install any software/application or connection to the computer (except the power supply itself).

It is very simple to operate the device itself (excluding figuring out how to use films, which not everyone is familiar with).

Cons

Built quality and screen resolution is simple.

Saves files only in JPEG (which is fine for me, yet maybe this will not be good for some people).

It feels like film feeders might break if you put too much pressure on them.

FAQ

Will this device work with my PC / MAC computer?

The scanner lets you save photos directly into the SD memory card. There’s no involvement of a PC or Mac computer in the scanning process.

Once you scan the negative, it saves the file into the memory card, and you can load the memory card on your computer (PC or Mac).
