## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great concept...BAD machine.
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017*

The concept is great, works great for a while, but it has jamming problems if the slide frame is not plastic and also doesn't insert all the slides in completely. I tried THREE different units and the same problems happened with EVERY one. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

    Disappointed so far
  

*by H***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2015*

So far, I'm very disappointed, especially after reading all the rave reviews of this machine. I've had it two days and have had nothing but problems with it. The documentation/instruction book is totally inadequate and the packaged software feels clumsy and inflexible. For example, there is no way that I can see to scan jpegs - only TIFFs, and you can't send it to a destination on your hard drive. It chooses where to store the files and then you have to move them.

    More importantly, in each batch of scans I have done using the 50-slide magazine, at least a quarter of them show up blank. Others are dark or strangely cropped. The ones that do scan correctly invariably need to be adjusted for exposure. Lastly, I'm finding the batch scans often stop at some point in the process and the application freezes.Since it's the weekend I haven't been able to reach anyone at tech support, either for the hardware or the software. If this doesn't get resolved in the next couple of days I'm sending it back. I don't have time for all this.

    PowerSlide 5000 - UPDATE: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2012*

UPDATE Oct. 2012 - It's the good and the great!OK - this unit does an outstanding job of scanning 35mm slides after all.  I have now scanned about 1,000 slides, and the results are stunning.  My wife and I are now enjoying these old memories on a high definition TV screen.I've experienced slide feed errors of only about 1 in 1,000.  Much different that my original experience.  As other another reviewer noted, to make this unit work successfully you need to plan to spend many hours of trial and error effort. Furthermore, at least two additional purchases are needed - VueScan Professional software and a Paximat Model 100S slide carousel. The slide trays that came with the PowerSlide 5000 (and the free tray included with my purchase) just don't work for cardboard-mounted slides.  I purchased two Paximat 100S carousels so that I could load 100 slides while 100 were being processed.  I also purchased a Paximat Model 100 (no "S" prefix) which has wider slots. I did this in case I acquired some glass mounted or plastic frame mounted slides.Learning to use the VueScan software was also a challenging trial-and-error experience, but once mastered it is a powerful and flexible alternative to the included CyberView X sofware.  In addition, VueScan Professional has a key added feature of creating "raw" scan files.  In short, you save raw digital files that are direct digital captures of images seen by the SlideScan 5000's sensor (I also set the scan at maximum 5000 DPI).  Assuming no physical scan error issues such as a slide misfeed, you can then post-process very quickly and as often as you want by having VueScan Professional rescan the raw digital file instead of rescanning the actual physical slide.  This is perfect for archival purposes, which is my main objective.  Handling old slides only once also has clear advantages. In other words, THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL AND FLEXIBLE FEATURE FOR POST PROCESSING such as for creating JPG, TIFF or images!  I also purchased the "VueScan Bible" which has been extremely helpful.  In addition, I have a 3TB USB 3.0 external hard drive connected to my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) to capture the images, as raw files in particularly are EXTREMELY large.  Furthermore, I copy all scans to a second external drive for backup.  I have about 5,000 slides yet to scan and the overall process has now become very straight forward and reliable.My only remaining concern is whether or not the PowerSlide 5000 will last through all of my remaining slides (and hopefully more). I'm also hoping for the same experience that other reviewers have had of ... many slide processed with no machine problems.A final note is that I have found the support by Pacific Image for the PowerSlide 5000 to be very responsive and helpful. The same if not more for VueScan Professional - I have had a number of questions and issues and Ed at VueScan responds within minutes, and in one case four times by email on the same day.I have increased my rating on the PowerSlide 5000 to a 5 star rating now that I have figured out the unit, its idiosyncrasies, and the key accessories required.---This unit is outstanding in many aspects and disappointing in some others.  All things considered, would I buy it again?  The answer is a definite yes.  However a note of warning: this is not a machine for the casual user. Patience and technical skill are both absolutely necessary.First the bad: the construction quality is disappointingly marginal, and slide feeder jams are a common occurrence.  Historically, most consumer slides were mounted on thin cardboard and one would expect a high end machine like this to accommodate them without jams or failures.  This is not the case, and apparently plastic slide mounts were assumed in the design.  When converting thousands of cardboard-mounted slides, even a 5% misfeed rate (not uncommon) is very time consuming and highly frustrating.Another complaint is the lack of good documentation on the unit's operation and its bundled software.  The documentation should ideally explain the effect of using a particular software option along with step-by-step instructions on loading slides and scanning slides.  A good example is the option of "Quality" versus "Normal".  What does that really mean???  Unfortunately, one needs to guess the impact based on the one or two word description provided, and find out through extensive trial and error what if any impact there is.  Much is left up to discovery and the machine's operation is not at all intuitive.After spending a 3 day holiday weekend of trial and error and frustration , I figured out how the unit operates along with its many idiosyncrasies along with which software options NOT to use.  This unit is outstanding in many aspects and disappointing in some others.This is my third prosumer slide scanner.  The first two units were Nikon Coolscan units (models 4000 / 5000) with optional auto feed trays.  I bought the first Nikon in 2001 and the second in 2008, around the time Nikon exited the business.  The 4000 was outstanding and gave me many years of service for ad hoc conversions for children's' weddings, etc.  The 5000 is still in its box for future use if the PowerSlide 5000 ever fails.  Unfortunately the Nikon units only operate on a Windows 32 bit machine, which is becoming rarer.The good: my slide conversions are outstanding, even better than what my Nikon CoolScan unit provided.  I am converting at the full 5000 dpi rate and saving as "TIF" for archival purposes, and then using a program to convert to duplicate JPG files for easy viewing, etc.The ugly:  the "Free" slide tray provided with this package deal does not work with this unit!!!  I nearly destroyed priceless slides trying to use it.  Furthermore, the slide tray that comes packaged with the unit (White Paximat 50 Magazine) cannot be found anywhere for sale.  Slide trays available from Amazon and others associated with this unit also do not work with it.Bottom line:  a good machine that can provide great results, but requiring much invested time and frustration.
