A film scanner allows you to breathe new life into old boxes of film and slides that are gathering dust by digitizing them so you can share with friends and family, edit on your computer or post on social media.
The best slide to digital image converters should turn your old analogue film into a quality and high resolution digital file, giving you plenty of options for how you want to process and share your newly converted digital images.
The Slide N Scan is made by Kodak and as the name implies it puts speed at the forefront with its Quick Feeding Tray that allows you to simply slot your film reels or slide in for quick operation without having to manually reset each time.
In this review we dusted off some old 50mm slides, 135 B&W film and 110 color film to put the Slide N Scan through its paces to see how it performed and if you should buy one if you’re looking to digitize your film.
The Kodak Slide N Scan is a digital film scanner capable of turning your old film into digital files with a resolution of 13.1MP, however can be interpolated up to 22MP via its high resolution mode. Interpolation is the process of digitally creating and adding pixels to enlarge the image so that they can be viewed and printed at larger sizes.
In the box you'll find a 50mm slide holder, plus adapters for 110mm, 126mm and 135mm as well as a cleaning brush, user guide, HDMI cable to cast to your TV and a USB-C cable which powers the Slide N Scan through an adapter (not included) or can be connected to a computer to power it. While you can’t scan files directly to your computer you can put the Slide N Scan into a USB mode to access the inserted memory card, which saves time removing the card and inserting it into your computer when you want to transfer or edit pictures.
