Digitize old film and slides with this affordable Kodak scanner
Rated 4.4 out of five stars on Amazon, The Slide N Scan is a nondestructive method for preserving photos that you can utilize yourself. It’s easy to use — and far less expensive than lugging your old negatives to a specialist photo shop.
Sized for use on a desktop or tabletop, the scanner lets you feed in your negatives or slides with a set of adapters. The device documents each image with its 14-megapixel CMOS sensor. Then the scanner shows the crisp digital image to you on a 5-inch display for review. Shots are recorded onto SD cards, so you can archive large collections quickly.
The Slide N Scan also can be connected to modern TVs and monitors using an HDMI cable. That way, you can run slideshows or bring up individual pictures to review and share with family members. The scanner can be powered via a separate 5V/1A power adapter or via your Mac’s USB port.
