    When I was a child in the sixties, our family album was somewhat limited. Back then photography was very expensive and colour photography was still being developed for the masses. My father had an old Kodak 126 instamatic camera then, which was the first camera he had owned that was capable of taking colour photographs.

    I've scanned over 500 old 35mm slides in the first week I've had it and it's performed perfectly. The software works great with Windows 7. You can't it beat for the price. Read more
