Review: A SUPERB LITTLE MACHINE - HAVING DELAYED MY DECISION TO PURCHASE, TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY, WAS THE MACHINE ALL THAT IT WAS MADE OUT TO BE, "DOES IT ACUALLY DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN" - I AM REALLY PLEASED AND IMPRESSED BY THE RESULTS OF MY WEDDING SLIDES - PERUTZ 1965 ERA - THEY CAME OUT REALLY CLEAR AND UNFADED. I NOW HAVE A SET OF SUPERB WEDDING SLIDES TO LOOK AT ON MY COMPUTER, RATHER THAN THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY OF DIGGING OUT THE SLIDE PROJECTOR AND THE INEVITABLE SETTING UP AND DISMANTLING OF THAT EQUIPMENT. I AM WELL IMPRESSED BY THE RESULTS OF THE ION MULTIFORMAT SLIDE AND PHOTO SCANNER (ALTHOUGH, NOT A SCANNER BUT A MINI-CAMERA) BUT WITH FIRST CLASS RESULTS FROM SLIDES, NEGATIVES AND PHOTOGRAPHS. I WOULD TRULY RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OF THIS MACHINE IF YOU HAVE LOADS OF OLD PHOTOS, SLIDES AND NEGATIVES WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO BRING BACK TO LIFE. I AM NOW LOOKING FORWARD TO DIGGING FURTHER INTO MY ARCHIVES AND REVIVING MANY MEMORIES. IF YOU ARE "THINKING ABOUT BUYING ONE" - STOP THINKING, ITS WELL WORTH THE MONEY. HOWEVER, ONE PAIN TO BEAR. THE SLIDE / NEGATIVE PLASTIC HOLDERS LEAVE MUCH TO BE DESIRED. ONLY 3 SLIDES ON ONE HOLDER OR 6 NEGATIVES AND SINGLE PHOTOS PER OPERATION. THE MAKERS MUST COME UP WITH BETTER SLIDE HOLDERS - OPENING THEM TO CHANGE OVER SLIDES / NEGATIVES IS SLOW AND FIDDLY - ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SLIDE HOLDERS SIMPLY REFUSE TO OPEN! BUT THE WINTER DAYS / NIGHTS WILL BE WELL SPENT THIS YEAR. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Review: Scanner is ok and reasonable fast, but beware iPhoto users... - Giving this 3 stars, because, it is okay. No more. It has just been released from desertcart whilst being checked from a customer complaint. It seems to be the norm for some of these products! Anyhow, got this delivered today and have tried it to drop a review in. I have scanned some prints, old and new and some negatives, not tried slides yet. Firstly I have to say I have an agfa scanner also of a similar ilk I was hoping this would be better. In some respects it is, it is a higher resolution and there are controls on the unit for selecting B&W and cropping etc, the cropping is for selecting the 3 different print holders. The menu is not very intuitive, but you get used to it. Pros; its quite fast to use, get a pile of prints, divide them into size and B&W or colour and the only thing slowing you down is its a little slow getting the prints into the holders, its mainly because of the corners of the print. But it fast enough, 2 button presses and your image is scanned onto the SD card. Negatives and slides are as easy once you get used to positioning them and the scans from negs are ok. Cons; as a previous person mentioned you do get a light shadow on prints more so on darker images, it is the reflection of the light source around the camera, no, its not a scanner, it is a box with a camera in, so there are some LED's illuminating your prints, light shows through negs so not a problem. IF you want to digitise some old prints or you want to digitise some prints for general viewing its fine, but if you want to produce fine files to print bigger etc, its not so good, I doubt you could get rid of this effect easily, it is noticeable but not terrible, like i said, if you want to cheaply digitise your prints from the 1960's for keeping and viewing on a PC or Mac for friends and family stick one or two on FB then its fine. I didnt get a cleaning tool? You dont need to use it with a PC but you can without a card, but with a card you can sit anywhere and feed it prints and negs all day, then later get them on your computer. There is one BIG negative for me, the exif data saved with the photo is set at september 1st 2010, so after I downloaded my first scans into iPhoto on the iMac I couldn't find the pics amongst my 10000 pics, but eventually found them when i realised this in september of that year. This is disappointing and a shame you cant set any date on the unit. I am going to keep this and use it, because its, OKAY, no more no less. I find that scanned prints or negs from devices like this have a certain harsh effect at the same time appearing soft, considering negs are as high in resolution as a 24Mega pixel camera, they dont look so from scans with these devices. One last thing to remember is that it was supplied with a euro power adapter, i think it would fit in a shaver adapter, but I dont use mine I use one of the alternative power sources you can get from here, it runs on USB power anyhow. Update, May 2015. I guess the file date issue applies to anyone on macs and pc's, however I found an app to change the file creation dates so I batch change them. I have discovered another fault with this unit, I scanned about 5 rolls of film and was discovering on quite a few what appears to be fogging on the left hand corners, I was seriously thinking this was one of my 3 film cameras I use. Then when I inspected closer, some Ektar film i took thinking it couldnt be that bad, I reinserted it into the scanner and realised the scanner is actually creating som e highlight areas top and bottom on the left if there are any dark areas. Its totally un useable as a tool for creating decent files, but all you can do is use it to scan your negs to view them, only and catalogue them, if you want a scanner for creating proper digital files to crop or print from , it aint this unit... ## Features - Scans your pictures, slides and negatives to your SD card (SD card not included), high-resolution scanning keeps your photos looking ideal - Fast one-touch operation takes just 1 to 2 seconds, standalone operation, no computer necessary - Includes easy image transfer and editing software, colour screen for viewing your pictures - Works with 35 mm negatives, 35 mm slides and 3 x 5, 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 inches pictures - Works with virtually any computer for optional transfer, this product is class compliant; it does not require drivers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0038WJXIM | | Best Sellers Rank | 215,934 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 142 in Film Scanners | | Brand | ION | | Brand Name | ION | | Color Depth | 24 bits_per_pixel | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 747 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00799916213429, 00812715012861 | | Item Weight | 3.5 Pounds | | Item weight | 3.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | inMusic Europe Limited | | Media Type | SD Card, Photo | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 | | Model Name | ION Pics 2 SD | | Model name | ION Pics 2 SD | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Optical Sensor Technology | CMOS | | Resolution | 2500 | | Scanner Type | Film, Photo | | Scanner type | Film, Photo | | UPC | 799916213429 812715012861 812715011352 745449803934 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ION - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 3.5 Pounds - **Maximum Media Size:** 5 x 7 inches - **Minimum System Requirements:** Windows XP - **Model Name:** ION Pics 2 SD - **Optical Sensor Technology:** CMOS - **Resolution:** 2500 - **Scanner Type:** Photo - **UPC:** 799916213429 812715012861 812715011352 745449803934 ## Images ![Audio Pics2SD Multiformat Slide and Photo Film Scanner to SD Card - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dz9nLzWsL.jpg) ![Audio Pics2SD Multiformat Slide and Photo Film Scanner to SD Card - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u10DpPwFL.jpg) ![Audio Pics2SD Multiformat Slide and Photo Film Scanner to SD Card - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DApYbVMqL.jpg) ![Audio Pics2SD Multiformat Slide and Photo Film Scanner to SD Card - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812a0FSLdSL.jpg) ![Audio Pics2SD Multiformat Slide and Photo Film Scanner to SD Card - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Cc7fLVx3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does anyone know where to get extra slide, neg and pic trays?** A: I just happen to have my owners manual out, call customer service at 401-658-3743 Monday thru Friday 8:30-6:30 EST. **Q: Do you need to place photos one by one? Or is there a feeder for more? How long does 1scan takes?** A: You have to place foto one by one.Slides in a frame of 4 slides and negatives in a frame of 6 negatives. Scan takes only fews seconds. **Q: Can I burn a disc from the Memory Card?** A: The memory card can be plugged into a computer (MAC/PC) and easily then transfer files, including to a CD/DVD if your computer has that ability. The files are .JPG format standard images. **Q: can 3x5 photo be scanned? Or just 4x6 and 5x7?** A: It comes with holders for the 3 major sizes. I've scanned all different sizes. I just have to be careful trying to pull them out, sometimes they get stuck. I found that if I take another photo and stick it halfway in, in front of the other, I can slide them out easily. Just enough to keep it from catching on the way out. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A SUPERB LITTLE MACHINE *by G***E on 14 December 2011* HAVING DELAYED MY DECISION TO PURCHASE, TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY, WAS THE MACHINE ALL THAT IT WAS MADE OUT TO BE, "DOES IT ACUALLY DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN" - I AM REALLY PLEASED AND IMPRESSED BY THE RESULTS OF MY WEDDING SLIDES - PERUTZ 1965 ERA - THEY CAME OUT REALLY CLEAR AND UNFADED.

What it is, is a 5 megapixel fixed focal length camera (interpolated to 10 megapixels) in a very pleasantly designed black box with a built-in LCD screen and SD card reader. What this box of tricks does is take a digital photograph of your prints, slides and/or negatives - making your 'negative' a 'positive' in order to capture the image for the latter. To be fair NONE of these stand-alone boxes are scanners, so the Pics2 SD is no different to any of the others in that respect. What it is though, is quite a lot better than any similar offerings I've tried from the likes of Agfa, Plustek, Veho and Zennox. So, the good points then; My order was fulfilled by Amazon UK so as ever, the ordering process and (free supersaver) delivery were excellent - less than 72 hours to an offshore Island! Out of the box the Pics2 SD looks very stylish and well made (compared to similar items on the market these days). It's blissfully simple to start using with an instruction manual just 5 pages long including the Troubleshooting section. There's also a big note inside from ION with a UK phone number if you have any problems - nice touch. Someone recently commented that the picture and slide trays seemed 'flimsy'. To be fair they have to be made out of plastic in order to keep everything nice and mobile, and they're screwed together where possible rather than glued. I'd actually go as far as to say they're as well made as they can be, and better than many others. The fairly huge benefits of the ION Pics2 SD over it's cheaper sibling (the Pics2 PC) are that this one has an SD card slot, so you don't have to be connected to a computer to start 'scanning' your old prints and slides etc. Also the SD model has a decent sized LCD screen so you can see what you've scanned instantly, and delete, save or retake images as you choose there and then. Again as with any of these analogue to digital 'magic' image boxes, it would be totally unrealistic to accept the initial output as anything worth archiving, unless you're ridiculously easy to please. So you have to use a software package to clean the inital results up. Using the 'Fade Correction' button on the software I use, is enough to give me a very good/fresh looking image from a 35mm slide taken back in 1964. I've used my ION Pics2 SD for 'scanning' all three formats now, i.e. prints, slides and negatives, and I'm genuinely very pleased with the outcome of all three, after a 10 second clean up job with the imaging software I've always used. Bad points; Of course it would be great if someone manufactured a similar box of tricks that transferred analogue prints and slides to digital, without having to use software to clean the results up a bit. But the fact is that technology simply isn't around. Frankly the same goes for high end flatbed scanners as far as I'm concerned. It would be nice given the price difference between the Pics2 SD and Pics2 PC (about GBP30) if the former was shipped with a 2GB SD card in the box. That way you really could start cataloguing hundreds of your family memories straight out of the box. For a company like ION, that would cost no more than 20p extra for each one they sold. So would I recommend the ION Pics2 SD over the Pics2 PC? Definitely. Would I recommend the ION Pics2 SD above any similar offerings currently on the market? Absolutely. I know you can buy other machines that do a similar job for less money, but this one is better put together in my opinion, it does a better job, and it's without doubt an easy, quick and very simple way to (finally) get rid of all those shoe boxes filled with pictures, negatives and slides from way back when. It's still not a scanner though! ## Frequently Bought Together - ION Pics 2 SD | Photo, Slide and Film Scanner with SD Card - INLAND 32GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card Standard Full Size SD Card USH-I U1 Trail Camera by Micro Center (2 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47936474-audio-pics2sd-multiformat-slide-and-photo-film-scanner-to-sd](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47936474-audio-pics2sd-multiformat-slide-and-photo-film-scanner-to-sd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
