Most helpful customer reviews 27 of 29 people found this review helpful. The best for the money from a customer, I used the FS2710 for over a year and think it's best for the money IMHO. The only reason I did it four stars instead of 5 is 3.2 Dymanic Range. I used the scanner literally hundreds of slides, both mounted and scanned in groups, with no problems what-so-ever. The scanner was easy to install, the software works perfectly. All my pictures on my website were taken with this scanner. Instead of just talking to someone here, see and judge for yourself. 70 out of 83 customers found this review helpful. Dealing with the APS film unusable R. A Swirsky WARNING: APS film scanning button you have to manually crank the desired image and add the adapter in.To scan the next image, you need the adapter and the crankshaft to the image. It can take lessons in addition to a role of 40 APS film.I If you are looking for a way to a whole roll of APS film scanning, this is not the solution for you 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Not for the faint hearted By Brad Bonner, I have this scanner for a year and a half, and sat through almost 5,000 slides. I am satisfied with the quality of the scans for what I paid for it. I use this as a proofing tool - I just get my negatives developed (if I must shoot prints) and then scan the proof. Or when I slip to shoot, and they want the Internet or retouch them. The scanner is up to 8x12 at 400dpi. which is fine. Again, you have to pay what you look like. The general scratches removal of features that would have the top models beautiful, but again reiterated the price this is a great little scanner. I have been happy. I even have it working in XP, but it took some research. Information for installation in XP or 2000, available [online]. See all 13 customer reviews ....
