Customer Review: Plustek OpticFilm 7200 7200DPI Film Scanner
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very easy to install, easy to use device that worked well for me. The quality of the scans is very good and most often I do not even use the highest quality setting. I transferred all of my family slides from the 60's and placed them on DVD. The software provided is decent. I prefer the "quick scan" feature when doing bulk transfer. You will have to make occassional adjustments to the autocrop if your slides have varying light conditions, but no sweat. I then discovered that this device is like a darkroom in a box - when I started transferring negatives. All in all a really good investment for me. Works well with my XP - x64 O/S.Customer Review: Good Quality Scanner/Poor Software
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this scanner for my parents to scan the TONS of slides they have kept in the basement. I personally scanned around 300 slides. The quality of the scans is very good - but be prepared to wait. Scanning slides is time consuming. I found that I could scan around 40 slides an hour once I got going.
My only problem is the included scanner software. I found it clumsy and hard to use. If there is a way to use it without the provided software I haven't found it.
Overall, I would recommend this scanner. For the price you can't beat it, and you can put up with clunky software for good quality images.
Customer Review: Does not work with Mac OS
Summary: 1 Stars
Imagine my excitement when I finally find a film scanner (OpticFilm 7200) with such high reviews on the internet, after trying many solutions for digitizing a collection of 5,000+ slides... Only to find out this product cannot support Mac OS. Given the current upswing in market share of Mac products (MacBook and MacBook Pro hold position #7 and 8 on the Bestsellers in Computers & PC Hardware on Amazon as of this review), it is very unfortunate that Plustek has chosen to ignore such a sizable market of creative types whom would benefit from having access to their products...
Sad, sad indeed....
Customer Review: I was very pleasantly surprised1
Summary: 5 Stars
I had thought that these old slides my dad had taken during his camera buff days were pretty much useless unless I wanted to display them with a projector...which I didn't want to do. But I saw this product and read a few comments from other purchasers and decided to give it a try.
I had a little trouble getting started (my fault) but have shared many of these pictures since then with friends and family.
Only negative aspect that I see is that after each slide I save to Adobe Photoshop there is a 30-45 second delay before I can scan another one. This may be my fault...but it is worth the wait.
Customer Review: great little scanner
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got my plustek 7200. The software loaded just fine.I ran about 30 slides and it went fast. The thing that took the longest was looking at the old pictures I haven't seen in years. The one draw back is you only scan 1 slide at a time. The bad reviews must have been people that have an I.T. person in there back pocket to solve there problems and do everything for them. Like other people have said you don't have to scan at the highest resolution, few people are going to print posters. For home use and to bring back memories with out taking up counter space (small foot print) this unit is just great!
