Holiday Gift Round-up - Scantastic Slide and Film Scanner
(Though this offer is no longer available, other great electronic gifts are available from As Seen on TV Network)
This is by far one of the coolest gadgets to come across by desk. Everyone has a box full of film negatives and slides laying around. They’re easy to ignore, especially in the day of digital photos. Well, now you don’t need to let your memories sit in a musty box. You can take your old negatives and slides and put them into your digital photo libraries with the Scantastic Slide and Negative scanner. With the advent of digital photography, many of us have forgotten about our pre-digital lives because those film pictures don’t factor into our new digital based lives. Well, now there is an easy way to scan your old film negatives and slides and add them easily to your digital photo libraries.
The Scantastic Slide and Photo Scanner is an easy to use tool that quickly makes high quality scans of slides and negatives.
The slide scanner creates 5 MegaPixel quality scans. Scantastic is also designed to be a film scanner and can make equally as impressive picture negative scans. The film to digital converter resolution of 5 Megapixel means that you can make poster size blow up of all your old pictures.
I like the convenience of the Scatastic slide and film negative scanner. Many photolabs will provide a similar service, but it can be expensive and the quality is sometimes less than you would expect. This clever little device gives complete control of your film to digital conversion. Included software allows you edit and manipulate your scanned images.
The Scantastic will make a great gift for the holidays and it’s very reasonably priced. I know I’m going to pick up a few for the holidays. My family members will love the Scantastic Slide and Film Scanner.











Will the Scantastic work with MC Vista Home?
How much does this cost? Also, can it batch scan slides?
