The Nikon Slide Scanner – A Movie And Negative Scanner Too! Review
Like many of us, I am sure you have a huge box of old movies, negatives and slides tucked away collecting dust and becoming damaged with time. There’s no need to wait to digitize these precious momentos of the past any longer. The Nikon Slide Scanner will take care of all of them in no time.
This Nikon product has more than one in this category-range but for now we will take a look at the Cool-scan V ED 35mm Slide and Negative scanner, which provides all you need. The first thing you may like to take a look at is the starter manual that comes with the pack. It’s not only in English but also Spanish and French. A CD Rom version is included which you may find more suitable.
Your slides can now be simply scanned by placing them into the Nikon 35 mm slide mounting adapter MA-21. 35 mm movie strips can be easily placed into the Nikon’s SA-21 adapter and you don’t need extra software because the package is complete with CD-Rom software for your Windows XP, 98 SP2 or Macintosh. The product has a warranty and includes all the power and USB cable and ports you will require.
You’ll be impressed with the 4000 dpi true optical resolution of the Nikon slide scanner. This product also features an ED glass lens, LED illuminating technology, fantastic processing of images from negatives and a 14-bit A/D converter.
This multiple scanning technology takes all the aggravation out of scanning, providing a rapid scanning time of only 38 seconds, which is superb. It also has an impressive image enhancer and features Quick Preview and Quick AF for busy hands. High-speed USB 2. 0 interface is another great feature which has Digital ICE-4 Advanced TM (Digital ICE and Quad Advancement).
Perhaps you prefer to purchase this product second-hand as you may not envisage using it for very long but don’t take any chances via the Internet. Ensure that you are purchasing this Nikon product with all the features mentioned here and that it is in tip-top working condition. A new Nikon slide scanner should not set you back less than $700. For shipping purposes you need to know that the combined weight of the product and its accessories will be about 15lbs. For delivery insurance purposes add on your delivery, customs and other costs – work on no less than $800.
The indescribable joy at seeing old photographs come to life from negatives cannot be comprehended and once you start, you will find it difficult to stop digitizing your old long-forgotten slides and movies as well. The best thing of all is that now you will be able to optimized them by image enhancing, scratch removal, color blending etc. The list is endless when it comes to using this technology and in the end, you may be glad you waited for it to become available.
Past history is precious and priceless, so get those old slides, movies and negatives out of their storage and let Nikon do the rest! I could not think of a more exciting way to spend my time and get everything organized at last!
