Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Plustek OpticFilm 7200 7200DPI Film Scanner
Customer Review: A great find
Summary: 5 Stars
The purchasing of the 7200DPI film scanner was the perfect fit my hundreds of 35mm mounted slides. The learning curve is very user friendly and the recorded pictures are a clone of the originals. This film scanner sure beats the other two slide converters that I have. One a flat bed scanner and the other a Panasonic studio camera with a slide adaptor on the lens.
The 7200DPI presents an excellent color copy and the pictures are very sharp.
Many thanks for a great piece of equipment.

Customer Review: Good hardware bad software
Summary: 3 Stars
I found the hardware very easy to use. It consistently produced sharp copies of my slides, but the color was generally very poor, tending to purple. I spent several hours trying to use the included software to adjust the color and was able to get reasonable landscape tones, but never could get decent flesh tones. Fortunately, I own a copy of Adobe Photoshop, which does a great job of cleaning up the color. Without Photoshop, I would probably have returned this unit. Paired with Photoshop, it does a great job.Customer Review: Works Great, Good value for money
Summary: 5 Stars
This scanner is efficiently compact, the software installed smoothly (Windows XP) and works well. SilverFast SE works well; I find it fairly intuitive. As far as adjusting each slide before scanning, the autoadjust normally is sufficient, but the other adjustment options are sometimes needed. The "flip" and "rotate" feature makes it easy to readjust the orientation of the slide so you don't have to actually reset the slide in the frame if you get it in sideways or backwards. Very good value for the money.Customer Review: excellent little scanner
Summary: 5 Stars
I am scanning slides at 1200 to 1800 dpi, using mostly the default color optimization and corrections on each slide. Some post-editing is required to remove blemishes from dirty slides, but I expected that. The SilverFast software was a little confusing to set up at first, but it works great! I am scanning slides at the rate of 2.5 minutes per slide, including minor touchup on a fraction of the resulting photos.
I am very pleased with this little scanner. The carrying case is a nice extra touch.
Customer Review: Very good film scanner
Summary: 4 Stars
I was hesitant to purchase this product but after reading the reviews I took the plunge, and today I'm glad I did. So far I have scanned over 200 slides and the images at 3600 DPI are truly stunning.
The included Silverfast software is not great but it does the job where slides and black and white negatives are concerned. I do not like its output on color negatives but they can be post processed in Photoshop.
All in all I think this is a great scanner at a great price point.
