 Not for serious photography enthusiasts January 5, 2009
H. Lopez (Austin, TX USA)
My husband got me this for my birthday and I was thrilled because I prefer shooting film over shooting digital, but I still want to be able to have a quick way to get my photos online for people to view. It was easy to set up, and fast to scan. However, the quality of the scan was lacking. The colors were not as vivid as they should have been, the picture wasn't too sharp, and the highlights were blown-out. I thought that maybe it was just a badly exposed negative, so I tried a few that I knew were exposed well and produced a good print. Again, the highlights were very blown-out and the picture wasn't sharp. Because it's close by, I took the same negatives to Walmart and had them scanned. The quality was superior. We returned the product. It may be good for someone who is just looking for a quick way to get their negatives converted to digital (but if I were one of those people, I would pay maybe $50 at the most for a product that did that), but not for a photophile who needs the details to come out crisp and clear and not blown-out.
Don't purchase this one!!!! December 17, 2008

I purchased this from the Brookstone store. It is the slowest scanner I have ever used. If your willing to waste 5 min per slide scan this may be the scanner for you. It is not compatable with 64bit Vista. Brookstone has no plans to make it compatable. I used it on my 32bit pc but lost patience after 20 min and I had only scanned 3 slides. Don't buy this one!!!!
In a word, HORRIBLE December 23, 2008

This product just straight up doesn't work. My wife had a great idea to get this for her dad and scan all his slides before Christmas, but it would not scan. Looking at another review, it looks like 64bit Vista compatibility was the problem. We took it back to Brookstone and bought the VuPoint model from Macy's. WARNING--these are the same products. They have the same exact technical specifications and ship with the same drivers and software. They just have different shaped cases and brands. If one doesn't work for you , neither will the other.

I bought this product for my father for Christmas and it doesn't work. After the software is installed, when you plug it in, warning box comes up and says that Windows(XP) does not recognize the device. It continues to say this. What a disappointment!!!
Disappointed in scan quality December 20, 2008

I purchased this mainly for scanning slides (Kodachrome). My previous scanner was a Polaroid SprintScan, and iConvert just does not compare - It especially has problems with the range of contrast of the slides - where the polaroid created balanced scans, the iConvert scans were totally washed out in the lighter area.
Also, I was unable to get the color to match the original slide, or even close.
I have returned this item.
