Review : Good but slow process for slides
I recently found numerous boxes of slides at my parents house and decided to scan them in.
After reading several reviews, this scanner was one of the better rated, especially as you can scan 16 slides at a time.
The image quality is very good, but the time to scan is slow. It makes one pass to show a "contact sheet" and small images, then when you press save, it scans each slide individually again.
I haven't timed it accurately but talking 5+ mins.

Also, the Drivers CD for Max OS X isn't supported, but its easy enough to download from the HP website.
Finally criticism is naming/numbering. When you save the images it starts as image.jpg, image1.jpg, image2.jpg etc.
Once you have scanned 16 slides and load the next batch, it says "file already exists, replace?".
Would have been better if it carried on, i.e. image17.jpg. (Only a small gripe)

If you have the time to spare, then for the quality, very good.
