A Pleasant Surprise

byViking55803 Mar 7, 2002
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quality scans, reasonable speed, easy connectivity, low price
Cons Mediocre software
Recommended it? Yes

I have been scanning photo prints at high resolution using a variety of flatbed scanners. My film camera equipment is high quality SLR and the resulting prints are sharp if the photo lab does a decent job. The problem is that you are have three color corrections and three optical resolution tasks... Read full review »

Pros Good quality, Good price
Cons No Digital dust remover, Questionable service
Recommended it? Yes

My purpose in purchasing a slide scanner was to enable me to create saleable prints from a large library of slides. I researched the various scanners quite extensively on the web. Prior to the introduction of the Scan Dual II I was most interested in the HP S20 and the Nikon Coolscan III. The HP... Read full review »

Pros Inexpensive, small, USB, flexible
Cons slow
Recommended it? Yes

I shoot 35mm color negatives, but wanted a way to combine the creative control and quality of film and darkroom with the versatility and convenience of digital. This Minolta scanner fit the bill perfectly.

I run in Windows 2000, and the USB setup was seamless. The scanning software... Read full review »

Amazing scans at a very good price.

Pros Great quality, especially for the price.
Cons Lack of manual control.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this scanner for $420 and I have been very happy with the results. I am a semi-pro photographer and was very skeptical that a scanner at this price range would yield professional quality scans for printing and displaying. I was wrong. The images this scanner gave me, with a little... Read full review »

5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good value, easy to use, high-quality scans. Uses USB port instead of SCSI.
Cons Slow scan time, customer support not always available and of limited help.
Recommended it? Yes

If you have slides or negatives that you want to scan into digital images, take a look at the Minolta Dimage Dual Scan II slide scanner.

I looked at several slide scanners before choosing the Minolta. The main factor in making this choice was that it uses a USB connection and I would not... Read full review »

Pros Great output. Great dollar value
Cons Slow, SLow, Slow, but worth the wait.
Recommended it? Yes

I've taken many slides in my days. I need a way to make them digital. I wanted something that would scan at a high resolution and be reasonable in costs. I looked at various scanners that were slides only, but always came back to this one. I really wasn't interested in the negative/APS... Read full review »

Minolta Scan Dual II

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros USB connection & price, if the unit works
Cons Slow speed, very bad color quality & consistency, lot's of noise, very poor customer...
Recommended it? No

The scanner was easy to setup and both the PC and Mac. Scanning time is slow, approx. 3-4 minutes for a full resolution scan. Scan quality varies greatly from poor to terrible and film type (slide or neg) or brand (tried Kodak/Fuji/Illford) doesn't make a difference. Works best with evenly lit... Read full review »

Pros Never found any pros
Cons Difficulty installing and absolutely no support from Minolta.
Recommended it? No

I was never able to get the scanner installed. Even called on a local tech for help but he was not able to install. Three e-mails to Minolta did not bring any return communication. A phone call was answered by what was suppose to be a tech and he could only tell me to do what I had already done... Read full review »
