Very disappointing
I bought this to replace a flatbed scanner which was very cumbersome for scanning 35mm slides. The results were disappointing in the extreme - far worse than the flatbed. Using the software supplied, the results were very bad. I tried driving it from within Photoshop and quality improved marginally but nowhere near to being acceptable: light blue skies turned a blank white while no detail was retained in shadows at all. The results are unusable and it was a waste of money - I'm now using the flatbed again. The company's technical support needed two messages to respond and blamed the software.

Why the negatives?
Not intended to be a pun but I have had absolutely no problems with this item. It took minutes to install and I had run through my first set of negatives in less than half an hour.

The one click button on top of the machine makes it very simple to scan a strip of negatives.

Don't be put off by the negative comments (B/W or colour).

One week on and I am even more delighted with this scanner. Not only have I gone through a stack of old negatives but I have also bodged it to handle instamatic negatives (126 size?).

Veho VFS 004 Slide Scanner - Terrible Quality
The quality of scanning is appalling. Save the money and take your slides to a shop and have them scanned. I bought this to scan old family slides for my Dad. I was really looking forward to receiving it and was extremely disapointed by the results. I am sending it back, it is not fit for purpose. The only good thing about it is the packaging.

works, even with Vista
Ordered this nice little device late on Friday, it was delivered this morning and set-up on my PC was relatively easy. Would have given the scanner 5 stars for easy use. However like mentioned by some previous reviewers, whitebalance is a bit a problem: most of my test negatives (from 2002) did come out much too blue. Sometimes this is easily fixed with photoshop, but still hope to find a faster way to get close to the original before converting a larger number of negatives.

Works like magic!
I was looking for a scanner so I could put all the old photos of my late father-in-law and the grandchildren onto a digital photo frame for my mother-in-law for Christmas. I was a bit nervous after reading the previous reviews but have to say I plugged the scanner into my laptop two days ago and have had a lovely time easily and quickly converting photos. It's a doddle to use, the photos are coming out more or less exactly like the originals and I know my M-I-L is going to be absolutely thrilled, as am I. I'm going to get a lot of use (and pleasure) out of this marvellous little machine.
