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.
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
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.
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.
