GiiNii GN-5LS NuLife Full Page Picture Scanner with 2.4-Inch LCD Screen-Black

I just received my scanner, read the directions which are easy to understand, then following those directions I got started scanning. Two problems I am having, I cannot keep my curious cat away and I dont want to stop, but seriously, one of the first things I did was scan a test picture to establish the orientation so I would not have to worry about rotating the scanned picture, insert the top of the picture first and your picture will then be heads up. I then started on my old family pictures starting from the early 1900s, ranging in size from 2x4 to 5x7, and it does a great job. For just starting I scanned 50 pictures in 15 minutes, and I think if I were not putting them back in the album it would go even faster. I am doing my family genealogy and will now be able to send these pictures to family. This is wirth the money and ease of use. I highly reccomend this item.

Worked well for about 50 photos after which it stopped feeding properly. Tried to calibrate, clean and re-set factory defaults. All attempts to correct the feed problem were unsuccessful. Disappointed in this scanner.

The website says the scanner is Mac compatible, but I could not get 2 different iMacs to recognize the scanner. I emailed GiiNii customer support and was told to call and they would submit it as a warranty claim. No thanks. Brand new unit? Sorry. If you think the LCD screen is a helpful addition, dont count on it. The angle the screen is at makes viewing only possible if you are directly over the top of the screen. If it is a foot or so away you really cannot see the screen. In addition, the resolution of the images on the screen really isn;t good enough to let you know how the finished scan looks. I returned it and purchased a Pandigital Portable scanner. Not much more luck with that one.

It wasnt what I thought it would be because it wasnt as clear as the reviews said. Just disappointed in the product.

Says every memory card brand new is FULL, read reviews and thought this was good, will be requesting a refund after only 10 hours I am so unhappy was looking forward to scanning boxes of photos :(

works great

I have worked with scanners for 15 years and thought this would be a quick fix for time saving. I was wrong. This item doesnt preform very well. The page feeds crooked while in the scanning process. By this I mean, the feed is straight to start with then begins pulling the photo faster on one side than the other. The final output has dark banding running through the image. I preformed all the cleaning that was suggested in the instructions but it did not work. The scanner is junk as far as I am concerned.

It is easy and fast and really makes my life easier.I have had so much fun using this.It is great.

This photo scanner did what it says. One cannot expect to have a full size scanner, but I had hundreds of pictures of my trip from Wyoming to Argentina with my 1988 Jeep Cherokee but never had time, and using a letter size scanner requires you to crop every photo. Not this, worked fine, once finished I will publish in a blog the photos of that adventure in two parts: From the Rockies to the Panama Canal, and then, Driving down the Andes.

If you are looking for a scanner primarily to preserve photographs, get this, sit and watch t.v., and just scan those pics! Only seconds to scan and much quicker than standing at my all-in-one printer/copier/scanner unit, lifting the lid, placing the photo, lowering the lid, scan photo, wait, wait, oh, and wait... This will scan documents, too, no problem. But my purpose was scanning and having the ability to save pre-digital era photographs, and this compact scanner is perfect for that task and very convenient to do while sitting - anywhere with electrical outlet!
