| |
|
| *Kodak Scanza Digital Film Scanner - this scanner converts 35mm, 126KPK, 110 and super 8 and 8mm film negatives and slides to jpegs. It has many features including resolution adjustments, brightness and color adjustment, red-eye elimination, compatible with PC/Mac with no software requirement. It loads easily and quickly to allow for fast scanning of slides and negatives. Digital files are loaded onto a memory card for transfer to your own personal computer.
| | <br> |
|
| |
|
| *Epson FF-680W Fastfoto wireless scanner. This scanner is able to scan up to 35 photos as at time at speeds of one photo per second at 300dpi. Higher dpi's are available but the scanner will be slower for higher resolutions.
