Make Digital Photos from Slides and Negatives

Posted in Digital Imaging by Reuben Drake on June 11th, 2007

This gadget converts photo slides and negatives to digital picturesRemember when you had to take your film roll to the local Fotomat to get it developed? They would come back in an envelope with the negatives in the bottom just in case you needed to get the pictures developed again someday.

This device, apply named The Slide And Negative To Digital Picture Converter will scan those old 35mm negatives as well as slides and convert them into digital photos through your computer. Plug this converter into your USB port and use the included software to convert all of those pictures of you when you were even geekier than you are now into timeless digital photos.

It can scan up to 1829 dpi and uses a 5MP CMOS sensor to capture your slides or negatives.

    I was interested in this but, according to a Hammacher Schlemmer website and one of their customer service operators, the converter works only with Windows XP. It does NOT work with Windows Vista.

  2. Zelda Says:

    do you have a store in South Africa or a supplier that I can get the negative and slide to digital converter and also the photo to digital converter. Also Please can you tell me how much it will cost

    Many thanks

    I saw this item in an ad and was all set to run out and buy it. But it clearly states on the Hammacher Schlemmer website that it does not work with Windows Vista.

    Very disappointed.

  5. Rob Says:

    Do not buy the Hammacher Schlemmer slide to digital converter, it is a piece of junk that does not give acceptable results. I was very disappointed.

  6. Peter Says:

    Yep…….Trust Vista!
    Hardly anything worthwhile works properly with Vista.
    If I could only find my old Xp disc.

  7. TANYA Says:
