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

works great

Finally started using this. This is NOT as great as these reviews are Im sorry! The more I sit here scanning the more Im ready to throw it across the room!! Im having to delete every other photo because its cutting off!! Have to delete then flip and rescan!! Literally, EVERY OTHER PHOTO!!! This is ridiculous already!! Suppose to be easy! Scan it through and its done. NOPE!!!!!! I can go through less stress and aggrevation using my all in one!! Which at this rate I may have to!! Waste of $$!!

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.

I discovered that it did not suit my purpose in scanning old, old photos taken in studios because the photos are very thick. Under normal circumstances, I think the device would be fine.

great product

It works for a short period. I had two and each of them began scanning pictures and leaving a line across the electronic photo. I tried cleaning, etc, followed all the processed, but it never got better. Had to do a lot of photoshopping to remove those lines from my photos.

I purchased this scanner largely because I wanted a simple, portable, self-contained scanner which could scan 8.5 x 11 images. This scanner cant do that, despite its claims. I scanned ten photos, all were unacceptable. I calibrated the scanner. I scanned ten more photos and only one was acceptable. I cleaned the scanner with the cleaning sheet that is included and calibrated again. I scanned 100 photos and only three were acceptable. Acceptable, by the way, was a level of image integrity I would never settle for with even the most economical desktop scanner. The tonal clarity was pretty good, but the way the scanner pulls the photo through the scanning element is seriously flawed. Even the photos that flowed smoothly through the scanner were stretched. Most went through crooked, the result of the mechanism not being able to consistently grip on both sides at the same time. Some just sat there halfway through as the scanner chugged away. All the photos were in perfect condition -- no bends, staples, holes or any imperfections whatsoever. It may work great for smaller photos which fit inside the sleeve thats included, but if you need it to do 8.5 x 11 dont waste your time.

This is a supremely useful & handy device for general use. It is trim, and economical in form and price. The LCD easily shows how well your scanned image is going to look (especially if you are scanning to a storage card and not to a PC). Although the quality of the image scanned is not for the videophile - for the quick scanning of a stack of pictures, or even documents - this device performs admirably.

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

Its well made, does up to 8 11 photos.....and has a built in screen.....portable! Perfect for backing up my old photos.
