This device quickly and easily converts photographs into digital images, allowing you to confidently preserve your memories for generations to come. Faster and easier than a conventional scanner, this device instantly captures the whole image using a 5 MP CMOS sensor, the same found in digital cameras. With up to 1,800 dpi resolution, 10 bits per color channel, automatic exposure control and color balance, clear, accurate digital images are assured. Photographs are placed into a tray that slides into the converter; the touch of a button records the image instantly. For photo transfers and power, it has a USB cable that plugs into a PC running Windows XP/Vista and includes software that allows you to edit, crop, and resize your pictures. Accepts 3 1/2" x 5", 4" x 6", and 5" x 7" photographs. 6 3/4" H x 10 1/2" W x 8 3/4"
 
I bought a slide scanner from Wally World and every time I pressed the button it would bring XP to it's knees. Took it back and got an Epson photo scanner, w/slide attachment and it worked GREAT. I had over 1000 slides dating back to the 60's - now all on Picasa for the kids to share. I don't know who the young lady in the bikini was but the skinny dude looks a lot like me - around the eyes !

Oh yes - average time PER SLIDE ~3 min including the retouches
 
I have been using a flat bed scanner to scan photographs and this item would be better and faster. I have a dedicated slide scanner (Acer) for 35mm slides and film strips, It works fine but a CoolScan would be bettter and does not use slides holder
