This is not a bad product, it's just an overpriced one for what it is. For simply preserving memories, or scanning to share on social media, the Scanza's quality should be good enough.

Scan quality isn't terrible, but a quick comparison to a professional lab scan shows the limits of the Scanza. For what it's worth, said lab charges $18 for processing and scanning a roll of 35mm color film. Below is an example of an image scanned using the Scanza (left) next to the same image scanned by a local photo lab here in Seattle (right). The scans in the gallery above are from a 35mm roll of Fujifilm Natura 1600. Unless your film is severely expired and has a significant color shift, I'd stay away from these settings to keep your scans as accurate as possible. In testing, just +1/-1 on any of these scales was too drastic a change to be used effectively. When scanning you've got the option to perform color adjustments which includes Brightness, Red, Green, and Blue levels, all on an arbitrary scale of -3 to +3. The biggest thing the Scanza has going for it is ease-of-use Also, the scanning area ends up slightly cropping your photos, mostly horizontally - if you're a perfectionist, this may bother you. (Prosumer scanners like the Nikon CoolScan 9000 and Epson V-series accommodate TIFF and DNG workflows, giving your film scans a lot of editing flexibility). There's no option for TIFFs or DNG, only JPEG. In use, we found the 22MP mode entirely unnecessary. The scanner is 14MP but offers a 22MP scan option that interpolates the images and ups the resolution from 4320x2880 pixels to 5728x3824 pixels.

This additional connectivity feels like a bit of an unnecessary feature, but I'm not going to count it against the Scanza because connecting it to a TV reminded me of using a slide projector and that is the most Kodak thing about this product.Ī 35mm Elite Chrome slide scanned at 22MP with no corrections or cropping. If you're plugged into the wall and the 3.5" LCD feels too small to view your images, don't fear: In addition to the Micro-USB, you've got Video-out and HDMI-mini ports (cables included for both) so you can view your scans on a TV or monitor screen.

Scanning takes only a couple of seconds per negative/slide.ĭespite some gripes with the Scanza, the usability of this thing is awesome and for those intimidated by the more technical conundrums of photography/scanning, it is super freeing. To operate it, plug in the power (the scanner uses a widely available micro-USB to USB cable for power) either to an AC outlet or your computer, insert an SD card (this is where scans are saved), press the power button, select your film type, load the holder with your film, insert it and press the capture button. Even if you've never scanned film before, you can expect to be up and running in around 10 minutes. The biggest thing the Scanza has going for it is ease-of-use.

One of the plastic film holders with 35mm slide. This is not for scanning a whole reel of 8mm film, this is specifically for scanning individual frames of 8mm or Super 8 slides. The 8mm/Super 8 option is misleading, though. There's no option for medium format, though you can scan 35mm, 110, and 126 formats as well as 8mm/Super 8. In terms of film format flexibility, the Scanza is. Pretty much everything is plastic and feels a little cheap in its construction quality. Opening the box you're greeted with HDMI, USB and video out cables, an AC adapter, user manual, the scanner itself (in bubble wrap below), a toothbrush shaped surface cleaner and a handful of plastic film holders. Works with: 35mm, 126, 110, Super 8 and 8mm formats.It wears the Kodak logo, but has no affiliation with Kodak Alaris, the company bringing back Kodak T-Max P3200 and Ektachrome. The Kodak Scanza is a simple, non-professional film scanner.
