35mm Slide Scanner Information

When it comes to digital imaging there is no better choice than a slide scanner. 35mm slide scanners scan your old negatives and slides so that they can be saved, enjoyed, and viewed for years and years to come. It can be a real pain in the butt to try and find an old projector to show slides on, and even harder to keep track of the slides themselves.

Being able to scan old negatives onto your computer and have a digital backup is a great way to preserve and polish these precious memories. Once saved as a digital image, they can be fixed up into very quality high resolution photos.

35mm slide scanners come in all shapes and sizes and can range from just $100 bucks to thousands of dollars, depending on how serious your scanning is. If it is just for personal use I would recommend a much smaller scanner such as an Ion or Vutone. But if you are using it in mass batches I would upgrade to a Braun or something on the higher end. There is an initial investment of course but if you do enough scanning it will pay off in the long run. It all depends on what you are using it for and how much time you will be planning on using it for.

You can find 35mm slide scanners at any home office store and especially online. Look for internet specials and inventory clear outs to find the best deals. The more research you do the better chances you have of finding a cheap but quality scanner. Be sure to check online shopping searches on either Google or any other search engine and do your homework.
