Summary: poor service olympus
Review: First the bad news: its driver supports Windows 95, 98, and ME. Now the good news: this is a serious film scanner. Unlike the new cheap film scanners or adapters for flatbeds, this unit scans at 2400x1600 resolution. This produces really high quality results; so much so that I hardly ever used it at the max res. The 35mm module accepts a six neagtive strip holder and a single slide holder (both included), and the motorized APS module allows you to drop in a cartridge and go!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a great scanner!

Summary: OLYMPUS LETS ITS CLIENTS DOWN
Review: Olympus has decided to discontinue the manufacture of the ES-10 scanner. So, it did not develop a driver for Windows XP. Thousands of ES-10 owners will have to throw their scanner in the garbage.
Without a driver for Windows XP, the scanner is useless. Olympus supports its customers? Yeah, sure.

Summary: Great Film Scanner
Review: This is probably the cheapest usable film scanner in the market today (cheaper ones do NOT work, get a flatbed...). The scans are great and it's very easy to use. The software is also very robust (unlike Microtek's buggy ones) and has not crashed on me so far. Being a webdesigner for fashion models I use this machine very often and have found it very reliable.

The complaints for this machine would be a lack of software for Windows NT! The software is only 95/98 compatible. How silly. And the film type templates are definitely not comprehensive enough. You can choose only brands, but there are difference in color balance and contrast, say, in just Fuji! It can take a while to play with that color balance. But otherwise, this is a superb product, love it!
