I had something similar and was going to convert a ton of slides. They just weren't coming out good. Ended up just sending the whole box out to iMemories and was very pleased with the results.

We spent approximately 40¢ per slide on 744 slides or $300 total. Personally, I know it would have taken so many hours with worse results. I did not save money, but I saved my sanity.

You get what you pay for with these cheap slide scanners. They aren't worthless, but the quality of the scans (no matter what pixel count they promise) is fairly mediocre. You definitely will not capture the entirety of the dynamic range and detail of the original slide.

If you use one of these, don't throw away your slides/negatives...

Is this worth it? It was 75 bucks back in 2017 and 69 bucks in 2018. Looks like the same version.

Would using one of these to convert from the actual photo negatives give significantly better results than just scanning the 35mm developed prints (4x6 glossy photos, etc)?

Don't even worry about jpeg vs raw. The quality of the scans isn't going to be good enough to make that the weak link.

I've used the Scanza and the mini and although they are not professional by any means but are EXREAMLY easy to use. took very little prompting for my 70yo mother to figure out.

I had a similar film scanner when they first came out and also did flatbed print scans. In most case the film scanner outcome was better.

That depends on the quality of your developed prints and the quality of your scanner. If both are extremely high, then your results will be same/similar.

A lot of photo savvy people scan their negatives using highend dSLR/mirrorless cameras with a rig of some sort. But doing this also requires software that will "develop" the photo of the negative to a normal photo.

This device will take care of the software part for you. Of course, I have no idea how good that software is so I can't comment on that. This device is for people who simply want an easy plug and play solution for converting old negatives to digital photos.

79 cents per image seems a bit steep

You are paying not just for scanning, but also for post-processing.
Typically ordinary people never cared for negatives and slides like put them in protective sleeves and not leaving fingerprints. So you are dealing with scratches and degraded media.

Epson top scanners coming with Digital ICE Technology that remove dust or scratch marks from film or slides after scanning. And still for the best results you will need to open image in Adobe and do manual adjusting. This is all time consuming and required some level of proficiency. So 79 cents is not so bad deal to outsource digitizing your library.

Anyone come across a cheap solution for larger format negatives? I've got a nice Epson flatbed that does a good job on slides and 35mm negatives. However, I've got stack of WWII negatives from my FIL in a weird variety of sizes (up to about 3" x 3") that I want to scan.
