Product Description
The superior inherent detail of 35mm film combined with PrimeFilm 1800's advanced optics provides the uncompromized image quality that traditional flatbed scanners just can't compete with. The PrimeFilm 1800 series captures such excellent image detail from both positive slides and negative filmstrips, you can retouch any image exactly the way you want it. The PrimeFilm 1800 series captures 1800 dots per inch (dpi) giving you 3 times the resolution of the average desktop scanner. For graphics professionals, this means that you can enlarge images to approx. 20 cm x 13 cm (7.8" x 5.1") and still maintain the 1: 1 300 dpi resolution sufficient for color separation and offset printing. Previously the realm of experienced graphics professionals and photographers, high resolution color film scanning is now available to a broad range of home, office or home, office or school users in this compact, inexpensive unit. Nowthere are no excuses not to own one!

Don't buy one.......2007-12-24
It's not even worth pulling out your wallet. Results are about as good as trying to draw your photos with a very blunt crayon. I get far better results using a flatbed Epson with the film adapter. Not that using a flatbed is the best idea but it is 100 times better than the 1800u. If someone gives it to you consider them a mean person and don't take it. Unless you need a rather ugly 2lb piece of plastic to clutter up your desk and spill coffee on. Even then, there's probably something better to accidentally caffeinate .
Slide Scanner.......2007-10-11
I had read critical reviews before purchasing. When I first tried it, the color was badly distorted and I was not able to adjust to compensate. However, as a last effort, I tried scanning in the "raw" setting. This largely solved the color distortion problem. So, overall, I am pleased with the scanner. When you consider how inexpensive it is, it is a real bargin.
Slide Scanner.......2007-06-28
While cleaning up my garage I found a large box with slides from our travels dating back to 1976.
The cost of buying a slideprojector and screen surpassed the cost of the scanner.
I have scanned about 200 slides already and am currently preparing a show to watch on TV. You really can not get any one to watch an actual slide show anymore.
An other beauty of this transfer from positive film to digital is that I have been able to share these pictures over the internet with old friends.
The initial quality of the scanned immage is okay, but the included Photoshop software lets you make wonderful restorations.
Although I wished that it could scan faster I am very pleased with this product. Speed it up and I will give it a 5 Star rating.
Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity to share old data so easy with old friends and new ones.
Not bad for a specific purpose.......2007-03-16
I purchased this item about a week ago, and because of the widely varying reviews, thought that I'd chime in. Normally I just buy books through Amazon and haven't been motivated to review them since I usually know what I'm getting. I am NOT an employee of Pacific Image however (or any sort of camera or computer store).
I am a graduate student in history who needed to be able to scan microfilm. I searched everywhere for a product that would let me do this. The strips fill an entire spool and are many feet long, and since they are borrowed, I can not cut them to fit a standard film scanner or flatbed with a 4-6 frame holder for negatives. Products designed for this purpose are thousands of dollars - not in a student's budget! I'd just about given up when I found this machine, and figured I didn't have much to lose since Amazon has a good return policy, so I took a chance.
Is it perfect? No. The TWAIN software that came with the computer crashed every time I tried to do more than a preliminary scan. The Adobe Elements is nice, but I have an ancient copy of Paint Shop Pro 4 I like just fine. After several crashes, I emailed the company and got a fairly useless response from them. However, an online tech reviewer who liked this product had recommended a compatible scanning program called Silverfast. I downloaded the trial version of this and lo and behold, it worked. It still took some skill and some trial by error to find good settings for the film. It didn't match any of the settings, of course, so I had to try different film options until I found one that worked. I also had to play with the detail of scan and such to avoid blurring. But after a couple of hours, I determined the settings that work. I would assume it would be easier with a standard film type. I have some slides and negatives I'll probably try also just to see how they work, and if I get remarkably different results, will comment again.
Is it fast? That depends on the detail you want. It does only scan one image at a time. However, I didn't find it hard to center the image in the scanner. It scans the pages faster than I can translate them, which is all that matters to me! If you aren't in a hurry, I don't think you'll have a big problem. In the week I've had it, I've run it some days for 3-4 hours at a stretch. I haven't had any problems with grinding noises. The scanner isn't silent, but it's in line with my old Microtek C6 - the only other scanner I've ever had. If it does break, I'll see how the company treats the warranty.
So to sum up, if you have a specific need as I did, and you're willing to take a little time to learn the Silverfast software, you can make perfectly good images with this machine. I haven't printed any of them, but I am using them on CD enlarged so that just a few words of the original hand-written records fit on the screen, and the detail and sharpness are just fine.
Good - Before It Stopped Working.......2007-02-07
My experience with this scanner hasn't been much different from what others have reported. I've owned mine for about 5 years. From the very beginning, the scanner made a grinding sound, which continued for awhile until it warmed up (while "grinding," the scanning mechanism appeared not to be moving). The software which came with the scanner produced less than satisfactory results. I bought Silverfast AI, which provided excellent images from both negatives and slides, but which (unfortunately for me) is specific to this particular device and will not work with my newest (replacement) scanner. After two or three years in the closet, the 1800u scanner was used again for some additional slides and worked satisfactorily (after the usual grinding). Two weeks ago, however, I again attempted to perform some scans -- this time without success. The grinding sound never did stop. Dozens of attempted phone calls to tech support were unsuccessful (the answering machine continuously reports that the staff is out to lunch). I did email Scanace (the manufacturer), and received a reply instructing me to open the unit and apply vasaline to the screw drive and the track bar. I did so, without success. The motor (as has been said elsewhere) lacks sufficient power to drive the traveling scan head. As the unit is out-of-warranty, the manufacturer wants a minimum of $75.00 to service the scanner (more if the problem takes more than one hour to resolve). I was offered a motor to install myself for about $18.00, but without any assurance that this would resolve the problem. I estimate that I have performed about 150 scans. Including the cost of the unit and software to use it, that figures out to about $2.00/scan! Definitely not a bargain!

PanasonicKX-TS600W Corded Phone.......2007-09-16
The phone has many nice optoins, but the caller I.D. window could have some kind of light to help see the number of the caller. The speaker phone from the other end also sounds a little like a tin can. The pick up Mic could be better. Over all I like the phone.
Great Phone.......2007-09-13
This phone would have gotten a 5 star except for the fact that it needs batteries. Lots of good features. Panasonic makes great phones corded or wireless.
Not Recommended.......2007-06-18
I bought two phones for my home after reading reviews and phone product details. No place on the web(including panasonic web site), phone details talk about requiring 3-AA batteries that I found after receiving the phone. New batteries die in less than a month. Replace batteries, same problem. Display is not lighted and hard to read. I would say panasonic should have provided AC adapter or low consumption battery product. I would stay away from this phone if caller id and speaker functions important to you.
Very clear - durable.......2007-06-08
I've had this phone for over a month now. I must say that it is very durable and crystal clear. I love the features on it - like the mute and hold function. It's hard trying to find a telephone set that has these features - let alone with a headphone jack feature. I work at home and this is a must for me. I've had no complaints whatsoever with this phone. I use it constantly.
Great phone.......2007-05-12
I like the buttons. Good size and feel when you press them. The display is good and clear. Speakerphone is good quality.
