Kirkcudbright
Arrived in good time but product rather disappointing
01/05/2013 21:35:00Colour saturated and focus often poor, seems to vary on content and brightness of slide image
Stoke-on-Trent
Does what it says on the tin, with great results
28/03/2013 10:23:00SD card was faulty but was replaced very quickly
Thank you for taking the time to send us your review.
Cupar
Great piece of kit easy to use
27/03/2013 14:27:00A good buy
Bristol
Ridiculously easy to use!!
31/12/2012 13:52:00I would advise buying the extra slide holders if you have a lot of slides. Picture quality could be better but that maybe down to the old slides. Also it kept saying card protected when trying to scan, I had to take the card out and reinsert for it to work. Really good product for the money, especially if you have a lot of slides!!!
Gosport
Thanks once again for a good, easy to use product
05/12/2012 22:43:00Very good product - no problem with it. Good service from mysmartbuy. Thank you.
Northwich
1st class item that does the job.
21/11/2012 07:42:00A handy gadget that was despatched quickly. No complaints.
Egremont
Very good.
20/11/2012 19:47:00Done over 1000 slides and negatives al look good on PC.
London
Change negatives to digital format
20/11/2012 15:44:00My experience of pretty well all modern gadgets and new tech is that they don't work or at least not as well as the impression given in the adverts. This is an exception - worked first time, doesn't need extra software or downloads and does exactly what it claims to do.
Southport
Gives very good results with slides.
19/11/2012 08:54:00Fast scanning can be operated when system has been set up. A very neat and well built piece of equipment.
Huddersfield
Fast delivery. Product as described. Very satisfied
16/11/2012 11:34:00Satisfactory dealing with this company. Would use again.
Epsom
Great little machine!
15/11/2012 10:14:00It has been so great to finally see all our old slides and negatives again - some of which have been sitting in a cupboard for forty years!
Farnborough
Compact machine to convert slides to SD card.
14/11/2012 13:11:00Great gadget for allowing slides a new lease of life - already recommended it to friends
Amlwch
I received the unit in good time. It will be a great help to me as I have about 2000 slides to scan!
13/11/2012 14:22:00I feel that I have netted a bargain, in saving £50. Even at the full price, it would have been worth it
Leeds
Good, easily operated unit
08/11/2012 10:44:00Easy to use and all operations understandable
Uckfield
Good Product, insruction for use a little sketchy.
06/11/2012 10:37:00Value for money
Sawbridgeworth
Just as expected and easy to use.
02/11/2012 15:15:00Having read other reviews, no it is not a scanner but views and stores the slides to a card which can then be copied to a PC. Simples!
Bolton
Quick and easy to use
01/11/2012 19:13:00Delivery was very quick and I immediately set about scanning all my old slides. I had done about 400 when the scanner switched itself off and refused to start up again. I contacted Mysmartbuy and was dealt with by a very friendly and helpful young lady who advised me to return the scanner ( at no cost to myself ) and a replacement would be sent out. This I did and about a week later a new one arrived. I have now used this to scan several hundred slides with no problems. Firstly. The scanner has exceeded all my expectations. It is easy to use and much quicker than I expected. Bearing in mind the age of the slides being scanned, the quality is good. I feel that I must be well in pocket already compared to taking the slides to the shop to get them done. Secondly. I must say how pleased I was with the response and service I got from Mysmartbuy. You only really know how good the supplier is when something goes wrong and I have to say that they were 1st class. And no I don't work for the company.
Coalville
very easy to use
25/10/2012 15:08:00just what i wanted
Mansfield
Quick service and good product.
24/10/2012 10:08:00When I tried to order it over the phone the price was £89.95 so I declined. I then ordered it on-line for £59.95. Why was there such a difference?
Inverurie
Order dealt with efficiently. Excellent product.
18/10/2012 10:37:00Overall, a good, easy to use product
Jersey
Good quality, Can't fault it for the price
17/10/2012 10:13:00Excellent device. Presently putting many hundreds of slides onto iPhoto where they will be seen much more often. What a pleasure!!
Bury St. Edmunds
Excellant, works really well.
16/10/2012 17:10:00I got what I paid for, if I had wanted better quality I would have paid much more.
Windermere
Well made unit
16/10/2012 11:28:00Facilities not fully explored yet, but early results look good.
Ryde
Satisfied.
10/10/2012 17:06:00Took awhile to find product on your site. Product what was wanted.

Thornton-Cleveleys
Excellent scanner
05/10/2012 12:16:00Super-fast delivery, excellent packaging. Excellent to buy from.
Heathfield
still getting to grips with it - seems just the job
24/09/2012 17:25:00Seems to do whats advertised
Gloucester
Nice and simple piece of kit to use.
18/09/2012 14:57:00I have many hudreds of film strips to scan. I am using the Neostar Scanner to load these negs onto my PC so as to look at the images as I would a contact sheet. Those negs I require for printing I simply scan at a high resolution with my other negative scanner, which operates at a very slow speed!
Wellingborough

03/08/2012 15:45:00Delivered on time and ea sy to install
Derby
Ideal product for slide transference
29/07/2012 20:30:00Seems like a good product and should save me loads of time and money. Very prompt response and good service from MySmartBuy
Hull
Enjoy using it
11/07/2012 20:18:00Delighted with it. Good value for money.
Bridport
Brilliant
10/07/2012 14:53:00I was able to dispose of 10 bulky slide boxes on to one small memory card. Very easy to use.
Turriff
excellent product just right for me
03/07/2012 10:47:00great service' and a good easy to use product
London
My pre-order enquiry was answered in good time, the product was very good and the delivery was much earlier than I expected.
03/07/2012 10:37:00A good experience.
Bournemouth
Bit fiddly for large numbers of photos but did exactly what it said
30/06/2012 11:37:00Already looking at further Neostar purchase
Farnborough
slide to sd card scanner
28/06/2012 17:10:00Very swift delivery delighted with purchase
Nottingham
Neostar film and slides scanner
28/06/2012 13:00:00A good purchase
Lancaster
Excellent product
26/06/2012 16:15:00Excellent quality, takes about 2 seconds per photo slide once mounted in the frame provided, frame holds 4 slides. Button provided to flip image if you accidentally mount slide upside down. Great way to get all those nostalgic slides onto your computer. I transferred over 2000 images from slides onto my PC over 3 days. Produces flawless images on 19 inch pc monitor and only slightly pixelated when hooked up to 40 inch TV via cable provided and some slides were 30 years old. Also works on digital photo frames.
Stockton-on-Tees
Very pleased
25/06/2012 15:07:00The instructions are very basic and it took time to work out how to put the slides in the holder, so the pictures were not mirror imaged or upside down. Once I worked this out it is very simple to use and very quick. I am really pleased with the results this product gives.
Exmouth

Milton Keynes
Neostar Film & Slide Scanner
31/05/2012 11:48:00Although a delay in receipt of order, I was kept updated on delays. Very satisfied with everything and will certainly order anything else that I fancy!
Malvern
transfer old slides to card.
30/05/2012 15:14:00Brilliant! Just what i needed. All old slides now transferred, up and running on phtoframe. Simple even for me at 65!
Cromer
accurate and simple way of copying slides and negatives into digital format
22/05/2012 10:48:00Quick delivery up and running in minutes- first batch done the same evening.
Derby
It took some time to understand your guidebook on use of scanner but eventually with playing and going through all combinations we eventually got it to work, but not the film which we would appreciate the instructions on how to do film. It was not comprehensive enough and very short on detail. Not easy.
Faversham
This product is easy to use and seems very good value for money.
Ellesmere Port
EXCELLENT SCANNER.I HAVE HUNDREDS OF SLIDES YET TO SCAN.SO FAR I HAVE SCANNED OVER 300 WITH PERFECT RESULTS.I CAN THROUGHILLY RECCOMEND THIS UNIT.
Burton-on-Trent
THE RESULTS FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS, MAINLY USED ON SLIDES FROM THE 1950 & 60's. BRILLIANT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
St. Albans
Good performance, good value, and useful not to need computer at time of copying.
Hayes,
Amazing gadget, which brought ancient negatives and slides back to life for fun and humourous viewing.
Bognor Regis
MY HUSBAND FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO USE AS HE DID NOT KNOW HOW MANY SLIDES HE HAD STORED
Derby
Excellent piece of kit. Easy to use and quick.
Eastleigh
Easy to use scanner that does a brilliant job. Well worth the money to transfer slides that have been unseen for thirty years.Excellent piece of equipment.
Farnborough
Not to bad.recording value is not as good as I hoped it would be. This may be because the slides I have used are very old. I hope as I get nearer the newer ones this may improve
Bath
Simple but effective product; easy to use with good results.
Woking
First scanner received was faulty but was soon replaced although no refund on postage. The manual could be better but I soon worked things out and found the unit easy to use with only a second taken to scan each image. The prints from the SD card were of good quality for a 6x4 print
Southampton
I have only used the scanner very briefly but so far I'm pleased with the results and the images it produced. Value for money seems to be good but depends on the item continuing to work well over a long period of time.
Ballymena
Good value for money
lincoln
Does what it says on the box, easiest way of digitsing slides
Atherstone
Easy to use and does a good job on negatives.
Plymouth
The product easily produces electronic copies of slides etc when I eventually stumbled into how to work it (I must be dim!) My initial struggle to make it work almost led me to returning the device then suddenly everything was working for me.
Leicester
The scanner seems to be good value, easy and quick to operate. However, the slide holder is quite awkward to open and close, and I have had to modify it. Maybe a single slide feed option would be better. Also, the instruction booklet could be clearer. Overall, I am pleased with the product. The clarity of the images is good for a device of this size and price.
Aylesbury
Very pleased with Scanner, thank you for a quick service.
Northallerton
Item ok but I found instructions difficult to follow
Birmingham
Does what it says on the tin. Qhite good quality.
Smeeton Westerby
This is easy to use, and the result is good. Our slides are old slides, but I can improve them once I have downloaded them into Picassa.
Stourbridge
I give this item 4 stars based on the scanner and deduct i point because I thiink that the instuctions could have been more helpful to a new user.
Wallasey
Instructions could be improved. Otherwise seems to do what it says.
Falkirk
kept informnedabout a delay with the order
Reading,
Works very well transferring our many slides to our computer and then on to disc. Good value for money.
nottingham
Scanner works no probems. I have 6000 slides to scan so it will take me some time!!
Kettering
Product seems fine when you find out how to work it. Instructions are less than comprehensive
Harrogate
Seems OK, but need more time and experience to fully evaluate.
Oldham
Did't realise transfering photographs could be so simple.
Crewe
Does what it says on the box. Just what I wanted.
Wokingham
The copier produces very good copies of slides, I have not tried it on film. I like the fact that you do not need to worry about compatibility with a computer. The manual is useless, so at first you have to persevere and just try the various combinations of buttons.
Nottingham
It is easy to use with clear and precise instructions. I am very pleased to be able to transfer my slides and negatives on SD and my computer. I would highly recommend this scanner.
Bristol
instuctions quite vague in parts ,due I think to the translation,once I sorted it quick and easy to use.
Guildford
Really neat and useful device for bringing my old photo negatives up to date to save onto cd and snd to friends from years ago.
Newton Abbot
The converter was everything I expected. The Instruction book was a little poor though.
Grayshott
Very pleased with the results
Northampton
Neat piece of kit, wished had spent extra money for the next one up. Works well
London
Very good value
Barrow-in-Furness
Now working satisfactorily. Instructions on use could be more foolproof but perhaps that`s me.
harrogate
Don't know how it works, but it does - must get on and view some more negatives !
Aldeburgh
The scanner worked well once I had spoken to your technical department for some clarification. Manual not very clear. For instance I didn't realise the scanner reverted to negatives every time it was switched off.
Berkeley
Performs well fit for purpose for most people with a box of old negatives and slides to transfer. view on TV then transfer to a PC later is good. Lens needed cleaning regularly and was a bit fiddly to clean. Good value for money.
Newport
Excellent product, even better that I had expected.
Kidderminster
I found the instruction book inadequate. It took a deal of experimenting to understand how it works.
Cranborne
brill, have been able to transfer 1000+ Colour slides to S.D card and then onto Computer and to disc in just one week . great little device, well worth its money.
Kingswinford
Excellent piece of equipment. Does what it says on the box. Selection of processes could be easier to access, but I suppose continued use will simplify this operation.
Horsham
Works well but instruction booklet could be clearer
Sudbury
We have found it easy and quick to use, although it has taken a little while to work out the way through some menus. The results have been of good quality, except for some files which have been corrupted apparently on the SD card. However they were Ok when first looked at on the TV, so we don't think it was the fault of the scanner itself
Haverfordwest
Exactly what I wanted. No problems with colour reproduction. Very good product for the price
Carrickfergus
Produces good images on SD Card. User Manual very poor as learning all the features is very much a trial and error requirement.
Saltash
Good value for money, arrived promptly
Wirral
I copied slides and negatives some of which were about 50 years old and the results were excellent
Nottingham
Useful not having to have it connected to a computer in order to operate it. Definition is pretty good and autofocus works well, but auto colour occasionally gets it very wrong and produces a heavy colour cast, usually magenta.
Colchester
Not allbells and whistles but exactly what I required for the job Iam doing
Wellington
Does the job but manual incomplete - strange date attached to images - no obvious way to change this
Teignmouth
Although there was a delay due to the item being out of stock I was kept informed.
Colwyn Bay
Excellent value though technically not a scanner but a micro camera. On the face of it VFM.
Cirencester
It does what I expected - nothing special but good value for the price
Worcester
Have used twice now and is proving to be just what I required. The manual could be more user-friendly though.
Waterlooville
I am quite pleased with the scanner which I found easy to use once I had worked out the instructions which are not clear to understand. My only criticism is that slides which were taken with the subject in a vertical position were cropped due to the aperture size.
Wolverhampton
Excellent results, far better than I hope for. A large box of family holiday slides from the 60's is now safely stored on an SD card and memory stick. Veiwing now is so simple compared to the old days. Next job is an even bigger box of my own slides which have not been seen for years. I think that copying direct onto SD card is far simpler then using a computer as it is so easy to transfer to a laptop once scanned. Great value for money, 50 quid well spent. Thank you.
Kings Lynn
It took time to operate it profficiently. The driving instructions could be made more user friendly to counteract this. Otherwise it is a first class product.
Taunton
Exactly as described in advert.
Shurdington
Easy to use.
Hemel Hempstead
An excellent device.
Maldon
Product is easy to use with good results so far.
Warwick
Hand book could be clearer
Waterlooville
Very pleased with it, just what I wanted (I have 3 previously-purchased film scanners)
Edinburgh
Anexcellent product which does what it says.The quality of copying is very good and looks the same as a normal jpeg.The instructions are anything but good. They are written in poor english and do not include some of the basic details necessary to use the product but i was able to guess what to do ! The instructions need to be improved. [T2 Direct comment: Thank you for your constructive criticism. We have passed your comments on to the manufacturer, Neostar Electronics, and they have improved the quality of the instruction manual. The new manual is now available to download from our website. Please let us know if you feel this is better!]
Alfreton
Great product which bypassed the worry about keeping up with computer upgrades. The screen is a little fuzzy but the images transfer instantly and look great everywhere else I have transferred them to. One small complaint is that the power lead us ridiculously short! Had to use an extension lead just to plug it in to the wall.
Poole
Does what says on the tin
Waterlooville
As a basic tool, it was ideal for our purpose,primarily to transfer our collection of photos/etc,for the grandchildren.
Plymouth
Sorry to see it was £10 cheaper the week after I brought it
Hassocks
No problems so far ... Does what is claimed.
Waterlooville
very good did exactly what i wanted ive tried a couple of other models before but neither of them worked
Newtownabbey
Easy to use and satisfactory results
Hereford
basic machine but easy to use and excellent performance for the money. Instruction manual not the easiest to follow as lost a lot in translation, but machine is easy to use intuitively. I am very happy with it. [T2 Direct comment: We found following the instructions and operating the scanner quite easy. However, in light of some feedback from customers we are working with the manufacturer to try to improve the standards of the instruction manual.]
Nottingham
I have not used product at this moment in time
Glasgow
Fulfills the requirments of the job that I required it to do
