Product Information
Full details
The Reflecta x33-Scan is designed for individuals looking to quickly and easily digitize their old slides and negatives. Its key benefit is the ability to scan an image in under two seconds without the need for a computer, saving time and simplifying the process. A potential caveat is that the output is in JPEG format, which may not satisfy users requiring raw file data for extensive post-processing. This standalone photo scanner features a 15.3-megapixel CMOS sensor for high-quality scans, a 5-inch IPS LCD for clear viewing, and direct saving to an SD card.
