Nikon SF-210 Auto Slide Feeder, Shame on Nikon
I got charged the restocking fee after Amazon's false adverstisement(Nikon Cools Scan V ED + Nikon SF-210 in a bundle, although V EDdoes not support the feeder). But after filing a claim at Amazon, I got all my money back. So no bad feelings towards Amazon. I kept the slide feeder and ordered a Nikon cool scan 5000 ED, because manual slide by slide scanning is not really an option...
Misplaced add followed by restocking fee by supplier
Bad supplier.There was an add on Amazon that linked this feeder to the Nikon CoolScan I wanted to buy for a reduced price. I purchased the set but then found when it didn't work that there is no feeder made for this scanner. When I returned it I was charged a $50 restocking fee in addition to the $50 to have it sent to me and then return it to the supplier. Too much trouble and expense for me to invest in someone else's mistake. Will be more careful from where I buy in the future.

Shame on Me
Why did I buy this thing?With all of the negative reviews, I can't believe I went ahead with it.The physcial design problems have been pretty well thrashed out.It jams - - a lot!And the cover will break off eventually.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE
This Visioneer scanner is an excellent product for the price and absurdly simple to use. Delivers high quality picture scans, and posseses OCR capability as well. Its sleek design and light weight make it very desktop friendly.

Crap, Crap, Crap!!!
There is no other way to put it. All Visioneers are garbage. Purchased my 2nd one (after first one died for no reason after a year) and have experienced many problems.Lately it won't let me scan anything because of an error saying to "unlock your scanner".There is no Freakin lock on the darn thing!!!After contacting the company many many times (btw - there customer service sucks! - No telephone number, unless u pay $2 per minute, just a computer-generated machine that unsuccessfully helps you called SARA). I finally put a claim in through the Better Busines Beaureau, there response was that they couldn't send me a new scanner cause it was after 1 year of my purchase, but they would be so kind enough as to let me purchase a new one and give me 25% off of their price (which was probably an elevated price). I told them to kiss off! Anyway - please don't buy this product or any Visioneer product - they Suck!

Works fine in Windows XP
The installer was a bit klunky, but this scanner gets the job done. ... Read more

Nice Scanner
This scanner is the first scanner I have ever used that I am acutally happy with.The PaperPort software is a powerful tool.ADF feeds legal and letter size sheets very well, scans quite quickly, although not as fast as some.Overall, I am very happy with the product.

JUNK - don't waste your money or time!
My company bought this scanner about a year and a half ago.We have 10 - 15 people who use it intermittently.It does not see heavy use.From the beginning we've had trouble with it jamming and feeding multiple pages.The cover to open it is very hard to snap open, and it won't recover from a jam without us turning off the scanner and rebooting the computer.I discovered that if I change the automatic document feeder pad assembly every 3 months or so, which I should not have to do, it helps the jamming and misfeed issue.Recently I went to order these pads, which were $20.00 apiece, and I couldn't find them on Xerox's website.When I called them they said this item was no longer being sold individually, but in a kit with cleaning solution and 2 pads.So what would have cost $40.00 - bad enough - now costs $100.00 !! As if we haven't spent enough money and frustration on this thing.I am going to do my best to get rid of this thing and buy one that works!

Some problems - but an adequate unit.
For a cheap sheet-feed scanner the 510 seems an adequate unit (I paid £185 including delivery and VAT) and I've used mine daily for 8 months scanning many thousands of pages. After a paper jam the scanner will not automatically recover - and refuses to continue scanning. In Windows XP the solution is to switch off the scanner for 10 seconds then on again. After up to 90 seconds the scanner will reset itself and the job can be continued. But who'd guess that that was possible ? The instructions make no mention of it and apparently owners have been starting jobs all over again after a jam. The software has worked flawlessly. ... Read more

Nothing but problems with this card reader
I would NOT recommend this item.I had problem after problem with it and, in the end, it was not useful at all.While the tech support email service was notably quick in responding, their fixes could not salvage this effectively useless product.
Iris Card scanner
The scanner works great,it works well for processing a single card and multiple cards.easy to use and good quality business card scans.A great value for the price.

Timesaver and simple

It broke down after a few rolls
It started reporting error messages that the film cannot be loaded after a few rolls. The Cool Scan V scanner is of course very nice and still continue to work with the slide and 35mm adapters. The successful APX scans were very nice. I was disappointed to see it break down only after a few (about 20) rolls going through it. The latest is that one of my APX roll is stuck in it and it won't even eject it. I am planning to send it to Nikon with the roll in it and see what happens. Since it has only been a month, it is still under warranty.

Poor Quality WILL NOT LAST!!!
This item was such a HUGE disappointment. Initially, it worked well. BUT the more it was used (we are only talking 50 rolls or so) the more it started to deteriorate. First came the noises. Then the grinding. Then the failures to load film. Forget trying to load the rolls of 40 pictures, it would bring this thing to a grinding halt in many cases. This thing was only built to scan maybe 25-50 rolls tops. Read the reviews on other websites. Others have had the same thing happen. Inevitable failure. AND this is my SECOND one, both with the same result. For Nikon to release such a poorly constructed product is surprising. Especially since the scanner (I have the Coolscan V) it goes in is actually a well built and excellent product.
APS adapter works great with Coolscan V
After researching the best way to scan APS film, I purchased a Coolscan V scanner from Amazon and this IA-20(S) adapter from Adorama thru the Amazon site. I never really found any reviews concerning scanning APS film, so I stuck with the scanner that had the best reviews and bought the APS adapter to go with it.

wow i am impressed
best 50$ spent on my kids it really works great. i use my halogen lamp to boost up the light it works for certain applications .no problems installing software. we run our computer through our 50" pioneer plasma. its a great family activity hunting for things in the yard- my two 5 year olds love it so do i

excellent for the price
We got this microscope a few months ago and it has seen a lot of use since then.Digital is a great feature for kids because they can see it on a screen instead of squinting into an eyepiece.You get a lot for the price -- a decent digital microscope with up to 200x magnification, a digital camera (with a mode that functions as a low-res video camera, including a time lapse feature), and some photo editing software.The kids (particularly the 7 year old) have had a ton of fun looking at bugs, everyday objects, etc.The microscope also detaches from the stand so you can aim it inside your ear (or whatever) if you are so inclined.It's clearly not a professional microscope, but for the price it is a great introduction to the world of the very small.

great starter microscope
We bought this for my son last year and it is a great introduction to science and microscopes in general. This is much easier than traditional microscopes for children since they view images on their computer instead of through the eyepiece. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to teach a child about microscopes, micro-organisms and science in general.It doesn't have super high magnification (max 200x) but it should be sufficient for most early learning experiments - like viewing pond organisms, etc. ...

Mixed review for DocuMate 252
I have been using the DocuMate for two months, but it was in use for some time before I arrived at my company.I like the machine a lot and have considered calling my co-workers at my former place of business to recommend it.
stay away from xerox
Bought this for a research project. Broke down after scanning just under 4,000 pages (it's supposed to scan 2,500 per day). No longer under warranty (2 mos. past), so Xerox refused to send another one. Xerox does not service it's own products or sell replacement parts. I've talked to a number of repair centers who say the documate is junk. So stay away from this product.

Double-Sided but Half-Baked
This product fairly reeks of the "rush to release" syndrome. The instruction manual comes with several separate "Errata" sheets attached, correcting misinformation inadvertently printed in the manual. If you use this scanner, you can't have any drivers for any other Visioneer scanners on your computer, which is frankly ridiculous -- for a scanner that costs $1000, you'd think the software engineers could devise a driver that doesn't cause such problems, especially since many people own more than one scanner. What's worse, they're not kidding -- I uninstalled the Documate driver and returned the scanner for a refund, but I still can't get my other scanners to work, because the Documate software screwed them up. This scanner is way too much trouble for the money. I wish I'd never heard of it.
