The Kodak Scanza Film & Negative Scanner - REVIEWED

Kodak Scanza Review? Read on: If you're like me, you have lots of old film negatives and slides in shoeboxes in the attic or basement. Or, in my case, the garage. But what to do with them? Turns out that the Kodak Scanza Film & Negative Scanner is a great solution, with its ability to produce high-resolution scans of black & white and color negatives and slides in a wide variety of formats. From 8mm film to 110 and 35mm slides, the Kodak Scanza makes quick work of converting them into JPEG files, ready to share, print and save.
Tech expert Dave Taylor of www.AsKDaveTay... demonstrates the Scanza with some of his old slides, showing off the interface and results in detail.

Thanks for sharing this amazing review on the #KodakScanza, Dave! We appreciate the honest and positive feedback on our product 😁📸

[@Tonestronaut]

I've been scanning since 2003 on professional but now very old equipment (a Nikon Coolscan film scanner and an Epson Perfection 3200 flatbed), and I was hoping this could at least replace my flatbed. But the Scanza is strictly consumer-grade. It's very fast (4-6 pictures per minute), and the pictures are big (4320x2880 without interpolation) but the color is muddy, the contrast is high, and if you look closely everything has this watercolor-like blur. My 15-year-old flatbed still does better. I'd only recommend it if you just want to bring in the memories and you're too busy to spend several minutes per scan. It can handle Super 8, that small hole on the front with the arrow above it is for Super 8. It doesn't do medium format (120/220).

[@bigal2643]

Thanks for answering the relevant questions here.

[@philipcrellen2738]

If you want to spend several years of your life scanning, use an ancient flatbed scanner. If you want to get on with your life and actually show living relatives pictures before they pass away waiting for your flatbed, then get something like this and come into the 21st Century.

Thank you for the review Dave, I'm currently looking at picking this scanner up! I have 100s of negatives from over the years, I would love to convert to digital.

[@FredrikSvensson1979]

I'm not sure but I believe the lower 14 Mp resolution is the true resolution of the scans, while the 22 Mp mode is interpolated (digitally scaled up) and thus doesn't offer any actual increase in quality. Having said that, 14 Mp is more than enough for your old family / holiday pictures.

Called that company and they said their product would not do the really old film. So... Can this machine scan the old supper 8 and 8mm from the 50's.

You mentioned nothing about dpi and how large a 35mm negative can be blown up to so its still sharp? Can i enlarge a 35 mm black and white negative to A3 size and will it look reasonably sharp? Providing my original negative is sharp.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

"still sharp" is subjective, and the Kodak Scanza page has lots of detailed specs at that level, Mark. I encourage you to check that out as a detailed quant adjunct to my qualitative review.

[@thomaseasley9469]

How do you set the Sancza to stay on? Mine keeps turning off after several minutes.

[@maggiehowland9558]

How's the quality? Does the transfer hold the integrity of the film? I'm asking because I have a bunch of rolls that I want to blow up and sell some photographs. I've heard reviews of other scanners that fall into the trap of having "a lot of noise" or "too sharp". It looks like wicked fun, but just wanted to see if you were happy with the quality.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Definitely not as good as a professional scan of a negative, no question, but that's not the market that Kodak was aiming for with this product.

[@b3j8]

My question would be how good that scan would be detail-wise if you can only save as a jpg?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Depends on the quality setting of the JPEG, but it's easy to convert formats; why wouldn't you want to save your scans in the highest possible resolution with the least artifacting?

My son bought this scanner for me ... I'm 76 and he and his sister don't want to be left with all my shoe boxes of slides and photos! I started with my 1200 slides and thoroughly enjoyed the project ... I didn't scan them all of course! I'm somewhat techno challenged, but was very happy with the results. However, when I started on the negatives I found there to be white specs on each picture and on investigation, see that they are on the screen. Is this dust? And how can they been visible on the negatives, but not on the slides? I have little understanding of how this product works, but would appreciate any suggestions.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Interesting question. Ona negative, a dark speck becomes white, whereas on a photo scan a dark speck remains dark and perhaps much less visible. Perhaps a lint-free cloth, or a brush or even a can of compressed air to remove dust when you encounter it in your process? The latter you can get at BestBuy for just a few dollars, it's literally a can of air. But useful!

[@phlover61]

What about not negative super8 films?

[@sthomaslewis]

Are the images the scanner make of high enough resolution to enlarge to 5x7, 8x10, or 11x14?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Compare the specs of what it can scan, at what resolution, versus what your local photo printing place recommends for prints of those various sizes and decide for yourself.

@@AskDaveTaylor Thanks Dave!

[@schkuba]

Will this transfer super 8mm to mpeg or can I just pull stills from the video?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

It would just pull stills; to convert 8mm or Super 8mm to MPEG I think you'll need to send it to a service that has the correct gear.

[@BrookBowenVideos]

An HD TV is only 3-4 mega pixel quality at 1920x1080. A 16-mega pixel image is 4920 x 3264 or a photo quality print at huge 16.40" x 10.88" Most people way over do the pixel count. Unless you are going to crop in on a small area of the slide the 16-mega pixel is more that enough. The benefit is the file size is much smaller and you can save more , edit, view and email them better.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

A good point. The only thing is, if you're going to scan it, I still recommend scanning it into the largest size and highest resolution you can. Easy to step down, impossible to step up...

[@robertlandry3490]

I would caution you when using the higher resolution for everything. The sensor has a resolution of 12 megapixels. The 22 megapixels number is reached with software “guessing” a value for a pixel by looking at adjacent pixels. Each has its own uses, for example the 12 megapixel setting is best for sharpness such as individual blades of grass while the 22 megapixel setting is slightly “softer” giving a better appearance to things like skin tone, etc. Just sayin’

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Interesting point. Seems like the old dictum of "experiment to find what works best for you" would apply here.

I really did not like to view finder as it dose not appear sharp. Would my settings on the unit contribute to this? Just Old and confused. Thank you

You can see the duration of a single scan in the video. It's not fast. A roll of 36 pics? That's going to take a while. i suggest you watch TV while you're working, perhaps. Or hire a young teen to do the job!

I have been looking into this for a bit and i don't have info on this or other machines, but, if you could obtain an old slide viewing light box (the type that is just an illuminated flat box with white plastic diffuser that you lay the slides on top of), you could lay it upside down on your flatbed scanner and scan maybe 20 or more slides at a time.

Was skeptical of the unit’s claim to process and convert 35mm slides into quality images. kzbin.infoUgkxKmnkpmXKhuEJXQRC5kmg2WDHyWIdGyiE The reviews convinced me to try it. Glad I did and was quite surprised! As you can see in posted image, I scanned 16 Carousel slides trays in three partial days with 30-40 trays remaining. I had researched companies that process for you but they were ridiculously expensive. This route was the most cost effective for me. The repetitive motion can cause some fatigue. I’d scanned two trays, then took a break. I also had some 47 year old color negatives that I could not identify. Ran those through the unit and the results were great. It automatically converted them to perfect images. I will use a separate photo program to fine tune any images that need an adjustment. In a nutshell, this scanner works great! I highly recommend it. Well done, Kodak!

Very interesting review. My main gripe with this unit is the lack of support for raw or anything besides jpg. Don't know what compression percentage it uses.
