KODAK RODFS70 Kodak Slide And Scan Digital Film Scanner 7 Inches Max – Large 7 Inches LCD Screen, Convert Color and B and W Negatives and Slides 35 mm, High Resolution 22 MP JPEGs,Black

Compact device but produces good results.
Neat and compact and easy to set up and operate. It accepts all standard sizes of negatives and slides. I have also scanned the non standard Kodak ADVANTIX APS film but pictures need subsequent cropping. The 6×4 inch display screen display is excellent, it can be tilted for ease of use. The scan only takes a few seconds and is stored on a 32Gb memory stick which can then be used on a computer. Data can also be uploaded direct to a computer using a USB ‘C’ connecting lead.Quite pleased with my purchase.

Not suitable for old slides (1960s)
I purchased this to scan old boxes of slides from the 1960s. These slides were quite old school in metal frames with glass covers. These will NOT fit inside a scanner like this. The practice of mounting slides in thin cardboard frames really only became a thing from 1970 onwards. I had to remove each slide from its metal caddy prior to scanning which was very time consuming. Not really Kodak’s fault but they really have not catered for 1960 metal slide caddies in the design. The second complaint I have is the dreadful layout of the menus and buttons. Functionality for adjusting picture contrast and colour saturation are extremely difficult to use. The device forgets the date/time every time you switch it off which is super annoying. The whole thing has not been thought through very well, is counter-intuitive to use and shows very poor ergonomics. It also has a bug that causes it scan nothing for no apparent reason. I found that about one-in-thirty scans were blank because the device triggered a scan when I wasn’t even touching it. A ghost in the machine? Not really suitable for any real demanding slide-scanning applications but it may come into its own as I plan to use it again to scan in colour negatives that I took myself from the 1980s and 90s. It should cope OK with them I am sure.

Game Changer
Wanted to convert all my 35mm slides to digital. This box of tricks does it all. Colour and b & W negatives converted effortlessly too. Fantastic image quality. All you need to get saving those memories is a 32gb sd card.

OK but will give some disappointment
I have now done a few hundred photos and can comment. It is clunky to operate and not sophisticated but that is not necessarily bad for a lot of users. It could not capture the golden tones of Italian architecture nor certain golden skin tones. Red is the biggest problem, no red or pink clothing will replicate well. For the most part I was just trying to get through bulk and it works because truthfully you are not that attached to a lot of images but where you really want to capture special images it is disappointing if the photo does not come out well. I have spent a lot of time adjusting the colouration and can honestly say that I can’t get a real improvement, the only useful feature is the brightness. To sum up, you get use to the limitations and 90% of your photos are very acceptable but the 10% that are special to you may well be a disappointment. I’m not sure that any product on the market is great and I would reluctantly recommend this one

Cet appareil effectue correctement le travail, que se soit des diapositives, des négatifs N/B ou couleurs. Vous visionnez la photo en réel (positif) des négatifs. Cela fonctionne bien. Le rapport qualité/prix est OK. Certains négatifs N/B stockés “enroulés” sont un peu moins nette que scanné sur un scanner Nikon (beaucoup plus cher et surtout moins pratique. Le temps d’un scan prend 2-3 mn, car il faut un peu de temps pour prévisualisé le négatif, puis le scanner). Ici avec l’appareil Kodak, vous passer le négatif , vous voyez directement en “positif” votre image et en cliquant sur “OK”, s’est scanné directement (1s) sur la carte mémoire que vous avez ajouté à l’appareil. Je recommande cet appareil, car j’ai plus beaucoup de négatif N/B d’Afrique à scanner, plus des séries de diapositives. Le seul point négatif, il n’est pas possible de scanner des diapositives avec des verres (c’est trop épais). J’apprécie la rapidité d’un scan.

Fiquei feliz por ter recebido bem antes do previsto, e mais ainda pelo produto entregar o que oferece. Estou feliz. Obrigado.

Though maybe not the highest quality or fullest-featured transparency scanner, this product is GREAT for quickly and easily reviewing and scanning old family slides and negatives. The native 13MP image sensor is fine for the amateur family slides and snapshots from old cameras, in my opinion. 35mm negatives and slides produce 4320 x 2880 pixel image files, which seem to be about as clear as I would expect the old film to produce, if the original photo was sharp and clear (largely a function of the camera quality).Reviewing and scanning color negatives is especially nice, as it is very difficult to post-process color negatives in software – you can’t just “invert” a color negative accurately with most photo editing software. With this viewer, you can just select “Color Negative” and view (and scan) your negative strips as if they were positive slides! Very handy and useful, something you can’t do with just a light box and a magnifying glass.I also really appreciate the auto-exposure feature. It automatically compensates for over- and under-exposure in the slide or negative, making it quick and easy to correct and scan amateur shots. It seems to do quite well with compensating for a wide range of over- and under-exposed shots. The color correction feature, if needed, also seems to do a decent job with some fiddling – sometimes saving the extra step of post-processing some color corrections in photo editing software.I do wish they had a mode for over-scanning some slides and negatives, to reduce the auto-cropping of slides and negative frames. As other reviews have described, the scanner crops the images a little from what is usually available on the film. This is handy for most images, since it cleans up the edges by cropping off the “fuzzy” edges and rounded corners on slides and some negatives – but sometimes you need to capture the very edges of amateur shots for some critical details. With this scanner, you sometimes need to make small sacrifices over what might have been possible if you could scan more of each film frame, and do your own edge clean-up when needed.The only other issue I had was with some old non-35mm square negatives (127 format film, 40mm x 40mm image sizes). I WAS able to scan most of these negatives in a 35mm form by NOT using a film adapter (just the slide carrier), and selectively cropping a fair amount from the top and bottom, and a little from the sides. But it would be nice to be able to better handle more of the 40mm square negatives that seemed to be popular in the 50s and 60s or later.And REALLY, Kodak – not allowing the date to be set earlier than 1980?? Come on! Those old negatives and slides from our parents and grand-parents are still relevant today! My photo editing software allows the date and time “Taken” on digital images to be changed (EXIF “DateTimeOriginal”), but apparently the scanned date (EXIF “DateTimeDigitized”) from the Kodak scanner is still retained in the image meta data. This causes issues with some handling in my photo organization software (Photoshop Elements Organizer).Overall, I am very satisfied with this scanner for my main purpose of easily viewing and digitizing old slides and negatives!
