Remember when you got your first paper shredder and you kept looking for things to shred because it was just so much fun? Okay, maybe you didn't, but I did and that's exactly what I have been doing since I started using the Kodak P811! I have several large boxes full of photos and 35mm negative strips and even slides that date back to ....well, a long time :) The boxes are totally unorganized and I have just kept putting off even opening them up, until now.....this past weekend I sat and laughed and cried as the photos brought back memories of family and pets now gone, 4-H camps, vacations, trips, and be still my heart, a 1975 Elvis Presley concert I had forgotten about!!The Kodak P811 is so easy to use, but before you start, I would highly suggest you leave it alone in the box and read the User Guide and the Quick Start Guide. They explain in detail what to do and what not to do. For instance, if you want to use a slide, you have to take it out of the original mounting and you should not do that if you want to put it back into the mounting and you do not know how to do that. The option is to have it done by a professional if you want to use it as a slide again. I would not have known that if I had not read the User Guide first. I had no problems feeding pictures and 35mm negative strips into the P811. Just read the directions! And, if you do have a problem, I found that Kodak customer support was readily available to help me solve it.I am enjoying using the P811!...

This review is from: Kodak P811 8x10 Personal Photo and Negative ScannerI was so exicted to get this it had 5 stars and rave reviews. I have hundreds of photos to scan in.I was thinking what an easy way to scan them in to digital scrapbook. It is easy to use and can take to Grandpa's house when I visit. The MAJOR issue is it washes out the color. You then have to spend time doing lots of color correction to make skintones look correct. Fixing color,so Grandma is not pale white but has a bit of pink in her face, turned the green curtains blue and lost the depth in some photos. The whites realy pop and have to be toned down also. However a black and white photo worked great and looked even better when scanned in the sleeve provided. So give up quality for easy of use and portablilty? Only you can make that choice. Would I purchase it again or tell a friend to buy one, no. The technology needs to get a bit better....

Kodak P811 Personal Photo and Negative ScannerAs someone who grew up with 35mm film cameras and worked towards digital photography, I had a huge collection of black and white and color negatives. The P811 is actually a very neat product as it allows maximum portability. I could use AA batteries or the AC adapter to power up the P811. Since it stores data on SD cards, a computer is not required for scanning and storing. You could pack the scanner in a bag while traveling and use it in a hotel room.The scanner defaults to 600 dpi quality, and has an option for 300 dpi. I found that the 600 dpi only produced a meager resolution for my negatives. Some of the negatives weren't scanned in the original aspect ratio and required some height adjustment. The color reproduction isn't that great, as it tended to brighten everything and desaturate skin tones (makes everyone look pale white). For black and white film, it was generally fine but tended to over contrast some of the darker shots. Overall, the negative scans are a far cry from making actual photographs in a lab.The photograph and sheet scanning was acceptable but not quite on-par with a multipurpose printer or dedicated scanner.I would have liked higher resolutions for the negatives with better quality and color reproduction.Overall: 4/5 stars, maximum portability with acceptable quality....
