March 9, 2010 | Component, Scanner | 1 CommentOver the past decade, digital cameras have almost completely replaced film cameras in everyday photography to date. Although there are some professionals still use film for large format photography and other specialized applications in the consumer market, only a handful of die-hard Luddites still cling to what is now a technology widely obsolete.
Digital photography has many advantages overwhelming, the cameras are smaller, more convenient and generally easier to use, you can see the results instantly, delete unwanted images and store hundreds of high quality photos on a memory card the size of your thumbnail. Also, despite what the Luddites you may say a good digital camera can beat most cameras on the image quality.
There is also the issue of long-term storage. Slides and negatives are easily damaged and must be stored and handled carefully. The film is impossible to reproduce without quality loss, and prints are bulky to store and can fade with time. Digital images, on the other hand are easy to store, easy to share, and as long as you remember to save your hard drive, they will last forever, always looking as well as when they were taken . For all these reasons, it has a lot of sense to convert your film photographs into digital images, and how best to achieve this is to use a film scanner, as this new easy to use model Plustek, l ‘OpticFilm 7600i SE.
Anyone who has used a scanner before film can not help being impressed by the compact size and fast operation of the 7600i SE. The unit is a simple black box, 27.2cm (10.5 inches) deep and 12cm (4.75in) high and wide. The plastic casing is finished in a matte texture rough, but it has a steel chassis and feels solidly constructed. The device is designed to be energy efficient and uses a white LED as light source instead of halogen bulbs with high normal intensity. There is a slit on each side of the device through which the slide provided or negative carriers can move in both directions. Carriers are hand-fed with ratchet notches to indicate the correct frame position. On the front are the only controls, a power button and two scan buttons. [via trustedreviews]
