Be sure and check out their full holiday gift guide to see even more awesome gift ideas. You can find out more and read all the rave reviews on the Hammacher Schlemmer site. The Rapid Feed Digital Slide Converter is available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer for $179.99. Because I can put them in files that are easily accessible and ready, it means I will actually be able to find those wedding photos from 1995… you know, just in case.

To start scanning, you turn the unit on and load the film in the film carriers and store my precious images on my external hard drive or on my computer. The 2 1/2' TFT color display is also where you will view your film before you scan it to SD card or computer so you can adjust it as you’d like. Since it has an LCD display, you can make all of your selections right on the unit itself, so it doesn’t even require a computer to set it up. You can either use it with a computer and utilize the included cord, or without by simply inserting an SD card right into the back of the unit. By allowing me to scan negatives right where the family is hanging out, it means I can load a strip, scan it, and still be able to interact with everyone and not feel like I’m sequestered away working on the project that just won’t end.Īs cool as portability is, it’s not worth doing it if it’s not easy and efficient to use, and I’m happy to report that it was actually easier to use than I had hoped. That’s where the Digital Image Copier from Hammacher Schlemmer comes in. What I really needed was a film scanner that would allow me to quickly scan negatives and slides to SD card or to computer, while still giving me the flexibility to do my project from anywhere with an outlet. So, I stuck it in my office and it just sits there because who wants to sit in an office for a three week long project? In fact, I’ve used it exactly twice and hated every minute of it. Obviously I needed to fix this and get my important pictures saved in digital form, but where to start? I have a flatbed scanner, but it’s clunky and awkward to use for film negatives, which means I never use it. This past year I was asked numerous times for special pictures in my stash and even just glancing through my negatives made me sad that so many awesome pictures are stuck in boxes, some in picture form and some never printed at all in a stack of film negatives. It turns out that hoarding “just in case” is a bad way to do things. This means that I got my start well before the digital age and I have a ton of pictures in boxes stored in random rooms and closets in my house… just in case.īut, if someone were to ask me to find that one picture I took at their wedding in 1995, I would have a huge project on my hands. If you know me, you know that I have been my family’s photographer since the nineties.
