If you’ve got shoeboxes full of old photos laying around that you want digitized, but lack the time or patience to do it – this portable print scanner is here to help, effortlessly saving your memories in a snap and without even needing a computer. Called the Portable Photograph To Digital Picture Converter, it quickly produces high-resolution copies of prints up to 4 x 6-inches in size, saving them to your preferred memory card format. You can then pop the card directly into a digital photo frame to display your photos, or download the contents to your computer for editing, sharing or archiving.
With zippy twin rollers that feed each photo under the scanner in seconds (see video), the Portable Photograph To Digital Picture Converter captures each image at a high 1800 x 1200 resolution, then saves it as a JPEG file on your choice of either CompactFlash (CF), MemoryStick (MS), MemoryStickPro (MS-Pro), MultiMediaCard (MMC), SecureDigital (SD) or ExtremeDigital (XD) memory cards.
The included 512MB SD card can store up to 250 pictures at the scanner’s highest resolution and as the Digital Picture Converter doubles as a USB card reader, you can simply connect the scanner to your computer via the included USB cable and it will show up as a regular external storage device – allowing you to drag-and-drop your images to-and-from your memory card.
Powered by an included AC adapter and weighing just 2lbs, the Portable Photograph To Digital Picture Converter is ready to scan wherever you can find a wall outlet and is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $119.95. Too easy.
