Pandigital PANSCN01 PhotoLink Mini Scanner -Black

I bought this to scan photos - of course. After approximately 30 photos, the scanner needs to be recalibrated. You are also supposed to be able to view the pics as scan them, but I cant. The File Explorer window CLOSES every time you scan. You have to go back in each time. I was waiting until after I scanned a batch at a time. After about 30 photos, you have to unplug, clean the machine, then calibrate it. Its a shame. I was looking forward to using this. Dont waste your money. Just use a regular document scanner instead.

It was reasonably priced, fast shipping. This scanner is so easy to use, you dont even need to have it hooked up to a computer to scan photos, you can scan them, it saves them on the SD card (one is included) and you can either put the SD card in your computer or take it to whatever store has a reader (if you want your photos printed) or plug it into your computer and transfer the files. And because you dont have to attach it to a computer to work, you can use it anywhere with an electrical outlet! The photo does need to be flat and occasionally slips, but on ones that slip I found that keeping a finger with slight pressure on the end of the photo helps guide it through (I have been scanning old photos in to share with family after we lost my Mother) It saves so much time over a traditional desktop scanner, in just about 2 hours I scanned over 150 photos, that is with taking breaks and having to take the photos out of an album and put them back in.

Price was right and quality was sufficient for my scanning needs. I was very pleased with the quality of the equipment.

Very easy to use right out of the box. I liked the way it works. You just insert the photo and it automatically saves it to the SD card. I got the same white lines on every photo I scanned that everyone else is talking about. I tried to calibrate the unit a few times but it did not improve. I would consider buying again if they fixed that problem but I had to return it.

This scanner leaves lines on the picture. At times the photo will hesitate to completely go through the scanner. It will not scan Polaroid pictures because they are too thick.

First photo scan has lines tested with 20 photos more and the all had lines

Very EZ to get back all old memory from all photos on my draw . I love it good product .

Pros: compact, inexpensive, fairly easy to use Cons: Scan quality is terrible. It worked well for the first batch I scanned, but now the dreaded white lines have appeared and will not go away, no matter how many times I clean and recalibrate this sucker.

Made scratch marks on pictures that were scanned in; but not on the actual fed in photo. I would not by any other products from this manufacturer.

Heres the bottom line......Its $40 and it works. Dont expect a lot and you will be fine. Lines, yes on some pictures. From what I understand its from dust. Make sure your pics are clean and that should clean up the lines. Its not a big deal to me. It works with a Mac. I love that. Fast.....It takes seconds for each picture and you can feed one after another, Its crazy fast and easy. I have hundreds if not thousands of pics that need to be scanned in and this small unit has made life easier. I upload my pics to mobile me so we can watch on Apple TV and we are just elated with the final result albeit with a few lines here and there. You want perfect scans pay more than $40 for a scanner. Good luck!
