35mm Film Scanner - How to Choose the Best One For You

When it comes to searching for a 35mm film scanner, there is a wide variety of models and options to choose from.  There are very inexpensive models that run only $100-$150 all the way up to high end machines that cost over $1000.  There are many other options to choose from as well in terms of the features, resolution, bit depth, editing capabilities, interfacing and more.  Here are some tips to help you find the best film scanner for you.

Of course one of the most important considerations is your budget.  If money is tight but you really want to preserve all of those old 35mm slides and negatives that you and your family have been accumulating for years, then you may need to go with a low cost model.  Many people are quite pleased with a  35mm film scanner in this category.  The most important thing to keep in mind is these machines will not produce as high a quality of image as a high performance scanner will.

When you are comparing other features and options on various 35mm film scanners, you will want to compare things like the resolution, bit depth, and the editing software that goes along with the different scanners you are considering.  These features can all affect the quality of the digital image that you end up with.  A higher resolution, for example, will give you a clear picture and and the bit depth will affect the coloring of your images.  You will also want to consider the software and user interface that comes with the 35mm film scanner.  Although other software such as Photoshop can be used later to clean up images, if the scanner comes with good editing software with a user friendly interface, this will save you a lot of time and headaches and you are more likely to end up with digital images that you are happy with.
