Overview

HP built this film and slide scanner to convert negatives and slides to digital files without a computer, using its touch screen and quick-load tray. A USB-C port connects it to a PC or Mac when you prefer.

Standalone operation lets you digitize a shoebox of slides without tying up a computer, and three common film formats are covered. The listing leaves out care guidance, a holder list and any file format details.

Who it's for

A family archivist converting old slides and negatives who wants a simple screen-driven workflow. Professionals who need large formats, detailed color control or stated file types will want more detail.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Works without a computer
  • Touch screen controls
  • Three film formats supported
Cons
  • Medium format not supported
  • Care instructions not listed
  • Output file types not described

Performance notes

A film scanner backlights each frame and a sensor captures it, so sensor resolution and film cleanliness govern sharpness. Dust and fingerprints on a slide show up in the scan, which is why handling matters. Memory-card output makes the process independent of a computer.
