Plustek OpticFilm 7300 Film Scanner

User Review #1 Source: TigerDirect.com by  CourtMCSE  on September 10th, 2008

For over eight years I used a SCSI-based Olympus ES-10 Scanner to move my 30 years of Kodakrome slides into a digital format. Should have bought this Plustek unit years ago! It is so much better, easier to use and setup via USB 2.0, and the SilverFast-SE Plus software that comes packaged with the unit is worth $100s of dollars by itself. Scratches are gone using the hardware based SDR Scratch & Dust Removal System. Some fine-tuning of the image is required using a stock photo-editor software such as Photoshop or Microsoft's Picture It!, but the jpegs are excellent. I can highly recommend this OpticFilm 7300 Film Scanner to anyone who wants to scan in their back-log of film and slides!
