THREE SCANNERS IN ONE
If you’re looking to digitize and preserve your old photographic prints, negatives for the photos you’ve lost and that boxful of slides under the bed – you could use the Portable Photograph To Digital Picture Converter plus the Slide And Negative To Digital Picture Converter we’ve seen previously. For a little 3-in-1 magic however, these multifunction marvels called the PICS 2 SD and PICS 2 PC Photo And Negative Scanners will have you scanning all your old 35mm images with the utmost ease and convenience.
PICS 2 PC
Available in two easy-to-use 5.1-megapixel versions, the ION PICS 2 PC is the simpler model – scanning all your images and letting your computer do the gruntwork (including providing power). It sends all your newly digitized memories over USB to your PC or laptop for editing, uploading, burning to CD and storage. Think of the PICS 2 PC as a flatbed scanner specifically designed for photos.
PICS 2 SD
The ION PICS 2 SD throws in all the nice frilly extras and enables you to cut the tether – scanning wherever you like without your computer. Like your digital camera, it saves scans on-the-fly to an SD card via a built-in slot. The SD model includes a 3.2-inch color display for viewing your results and even doubles as a multi-card reader with the option of connecting to your computer over USB – at your convenience.
SCANNING SIMPLIFIED
Both models of the ION Photo and Negative Scanners can capture up to 3600 DPI and feature auto exposure and color balance to make the scanning process push-button easy. They accept traditional 3×5″ plus 4×6″ and 5×7″ prints and can accommodate both 35mm and 110mm negatives. 35mm slides play nice too.
COMPACT IN SIZE
Measuring around 8.7″ (22cm) wide x 6.1″ (15.5cm) high x 7.87″ (20cm) deep, the ION Photo and Negative Scanners are available now from Firebox.com with the PICS 2 PC listed at $184 | £120 | €136 and the portable PICS 2 SD going for $214 | £140 | €158.
