It is exactly as described. Light weight and small. Fits neatly in one hand. Works great as I sat watching TV while scanning 35mm negatives. The limited instructions are a little confusing at first. With only 5 buttons it doesn't take long to figure things out. Start with the power. After turning it on, you can change the scan from 14mp to 22 mp. You have options to watch play back. Select the Camera icon by pressing the "OK" button. This enters the Capture mode. Once there you load the film into the proper plastic protector. After several attempts fighting with the cover door to the negative adapter, I decided to forgo taking it in and out of the scanner. Instead I pushed each film strip in from the left and moved through the negatives with ease. From the 32 GB memory card, the color view panel shows that I have room for 10,000 pics. The negative was bigger than the scan view but not by much. If printing out 4 x 6 in photos, you may lose 1/4 in on the left or right side depending on how you slide the negative to scan. Once you have it lined up, press the SCAN button. From there you can enter the edit mode to fix colors or contrast. I chose to leave this to photo editing software instead. If you're happy with the scan, press OK, as the highlighted icon on the screen is asking to SAVE the image. Saving takes approximately 4 seconds while a little yellow hour glass appears over the image. The top right corner counter marks the number of saved scans and the remaining quantity. Everything is on the SD card and you can leave it there or move it to a computer. Simple. I have intentions of scanning hundreds of thousands of negatives. I have no idea how long this lightweight plastic will hold out. I also plan to give the little lamp a break to cool down as well.
