    Customers like the performance of the scanner. They mention that it works great, the quality is awesome, and the new 9" reel capable version runs great. The initial settings worked well for some, and it works incredibly on both 8mm and super 8. The results are watchable, and everything runs smoothly on older, previously edited films. Some say that it handles their needs acceptably, but it could be better.

    Customers find the scanner easy to use. They say the instructions are brief, but overall the machine is pretty self-explanatory to set up. They mention that the process is easy to do and requires only a little babysitting. Customers also say that the diagrams on the front of the scanner make threading the film easy. They also say the manual is well done and has reasonable logic knowledge. Overall, customers are satisfied with the ease of use and functionality of the product.

    "...Fri and YouTube has videos if you have questions, but the devise is so easy to use, those will probably not be needed...." Read more

    "...The little 13 page owners manual is very well done, and obviously has ENGLISH as its primary language...." Read more

    "...But it's simple to use and I had no problem taking a few moments to figure it out and did some looking on line for instruction as well...." Read more

    178 customers mention151 positive27 negative

    Customers like the value of the scanner. They say it's well worth the cost, and cheaper than sending films out. Some mention that it takes a while to get good video, but it'll be worth it in the end.

    182 customers mention109 positive73 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the scanner. Some mention that it offers quality superior to a film chain at a price, and is well-made. They say the film is in good shape with no splices, so they can set it, forget it, and scan it frame by frame. However, others say that the reel gets stuck, or breaks or jams, and you have to stop the scanning process.

    "...Quality ended up being good enough and only took a couple of hours to digitize...." Read more

    "...already put through without any problems, and even that reel of film would not advance...." Read more

    "...To me, with proper use, this should last a pretty long time, and should be fixable for most little minor things that might happen...." Read more

    125 customers mention66 positive59 negative

    Customers are mixed about the image quality of the scanner. Some mention that the picture quality can be good, while others say that it's not that great. Some say that the video quality is OK, while still others say it'll give you pretty-good quality digital versions of your films.

    "...in using the frame adjust and exposure options, the output appeared to be decent quality...." Read more

    "...There is nothing inherently “grainy” about mp4 files. Graininess on amateur film video is generally from an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit..." Read more

    "Picture quality can be good, but greatly depends upon how well one can learn without assistance and how much patience one possesses...." Read more

    "...It is an excellent value at that price. It's not a fancy machine, but it's of good quality and does the job...." Read more

    97 customers mention12 positive85 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the speed of the scanner. They mention that the recorded frame rate is too fast, the conversion speeds up the movies slightly, and it takes a long time to process each film. The transfer seems slow, and the rewind is ridiculously slow. That said, some complain that the digitized film plays back at the wrong speed and the frame rate was off.

    "...It only creates mp4 files which are grainy and the video runs too fast. There are many other complaints...." Read more

    "...The rewind is ridiculously slow; you literally can rewind a reel faster by hand...." Read more

    "...covered some of the things you have to deal with, like the fast recorded frame rate..." Read more

    "...The result is that everyone is running around much faster than normal...." Read more

    55 customers mention13 positive42 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the size of the reels it can accept. They mention that it only handles reels 5" or less, and that it does not fit larger reels.

    "...It is limited to 5 inch reels. It is limited to 720p scan resolution. The files it creates play back at 30 frames per second (too fast)...." Read more

    "...No two films are exactly alike. Some films are wider than others and can get stuck in the scanner. This occurred on ten percent of my films...." Read more

    "...I noticed this product a few months ago, but the fact that it only holds reels that are 5" or less scared me off from it...." Read more

    "...32gig 1000 cards (the largest the digitizer will use), and they hold a great deal which I then transfer to my computer for editing using Windows..." Read more

    52 customers mention3 positive49 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the sound quality of the scanner. They mention that it makes a horrible noise, does not do sound, and starts making a louder clicking noise when it gets dirty. The pixel noise is very distracting, and the take-up reel now sounds like a mini jackhammer when recording. They also get tired of hearing the machine advance and the motor sounds like cheap DC gearmotor used in toys. Customers also complain that it does not capture audio and is limited to 5 inch reels.

    "...The motor sounds like a cheap DC gearmotor used in toys. The film seems to jam very easily if the sprocket holes are the slightest bit worn...." Read more

    "...Okay! Other reviewers complain as follows: It does not capture audio. It is limited to 5 inch reels. It is limited to 720p scan resolution...." Read more

    "...Works with either 8mm or super-8 moviesCons:Doesn't encode sound (some super-8 had sound)..." Read more

    "...It makes a horrible noise (and probably tore one of the sprocket holes there) but it did stop on its own after a second or 2...." Read more

    Great little machine
    5 Stars
    Great little machine
    This unit has worked really well for me so far. My father-in-law asked me to get a bunch of his father's old 8mm films digitized. After realizing how much it would cost to send them out to have it done professionally, I decided to try doing it myself. I started out by attempting to use his old projector to play the film while having a digital camera pointed at the screen to record it. That wasn't working so well, and I quickly realized it wasn't worth the frustration.I noticed this product a few months ago, but the fact that it only holds reels that are 5" or less scared me off from it. Half of the reels I had to convert were larger than this. But more recent reviewers commented that they figured out ways to make it work with larger reels, so I thought I'd give it a shot.Since other reviewers have covered some of the things you have to deal with, like the fast recorded frame rate (I use the free software VLC afterwards to slow the video files down from 30fps to 18), I figure I'll share how I've been using it to digitize the 6" and 7" reels. The photo I'm posting will show it better than I can describe, but I simply set up the old projector to the right of the unit, facing towards it. The film to be recorded goes on the upper arm of the projector, and a large empty take-up reel goes on the lower arm (just as if you were going to play the film with the projector itself). I place the empty 5" reel that comes with the unit on its left side and leave the right side empty. I then feed the film over top the digitizer, around the empty 5" reel, and into the digitizer. As the film leaves the digitizer, it gets picked up by the take-up reel on the projector. I simply run the projector (without the light turned on) at the same time as the digitizer. Works like a charm, even though it takes a good 4 hours to get through one reel.I know this requires having the right equipment, but hopefully it helps someone else trying to figure out what they can do.A couple of other notes:A pretty recent firmware update added the capability to adjust the frame that you record, which is pretty nice. You can move it left/right and up/down as well as zoom in/out. The initial settings actually worked pretty well for me, but at some point, I started playing around with it without first writing down the initial settings in case I needed to go back to them. There is a menu option to reset the unit to default settings, so I assumed I could just use that if needed. Well, it turns out that the default reset only works for options like exposure, not for the frame adjustments. I called technical assistance to ask what the initial settings were, but the guy just laughed at me repeatedly and said they didn't know. I guess it was funny that I assumed the default settings option would include frame adjustment settings. I didn't mind that they didn't have (or know) default settings, but the laughter was just an odd response to a customer.Anyway, the adjustments are easy enough to figure out and are a very useful option, but just know that there aren't defaults.Overall, though, this thing has been a great. With the number of films I needed to convert (I'm on my 48th reel right now), it was never going to get done without it.And my FIL recently let me know that he is planning on bringing over some Super8 reels that he took when my wife was little, so I have that to look forward to as well. I assume I will be just as satisfied with how this machine handles those films, but if not, I will come back and add to this review.
