The technological realm always has something new to offer. Here’s a new innovation featured by catalog and online marketer firstSTREET, the 35mm slide scanner. The scanner eliminates the need for a computer enabling anyone to use it and preserve those fond memories with a single button-push. Users can scan digital copies directly to an SD memory card and be viewed instantly on any digital photo frame or save on a PC with the included USB cord. The scan uses the USB or AC power.
This firstSTREET stand-alone scanner is capable of scanning 35mm mounted slides and also monochrome or color film. It enables users to create digital copies with images scanned at 5 megapixels. The device adorns an SD/MMC card slot and a cartridge slot on the sides while a card status indicator and a scan button on the front. The three white LEDs help serve as the light source.
Tim Hoerrner, firstSTREET’s Vice President for Catalog and Internet points out, “Compared to other 35mm slide scanners that often cost several hundred dollars, firstSTREET’s model is quite reasonably priced. Buyers are appreciating that difference, and they are also clearly enjoying the chance to look at and edit the slides and negatives that have been around the house for years, converting them to digital where they can once again be enjoyed. Sometimes we hear about slides that were passed down from parents and grandparents and have been sitting in a closet for decades, years after the old slide projector and the slide trays are long gone. Instead of throwing the slides away, someone will buy our scanners, and everyone in the family is able to able to go on this amazing nostalgia trip.â€
This lightweight and compact scanner is convenient to take along for a slide show on a beach vacation, a family get-together, or a class reunion. A simple three-step process enables 35mm slide and negative scanning.
Users can also set-up their own slide shows and view them on the 2.4-inch color display, or simply connect to a computer or a TV. The scanner bundles up slide cartridge, photo-editing software, USB cable, User Guide, and Quick Start Guide. The scanner is priced at $129.95 (approx Rs. 5,919).
