Kodak announced a new budget scanner for the digitization of photographic film called Scanza. The device supports such formats as 35mm, Type-110, Type-126, Super 8 and 8mm. The film scans into 14MP JPEG files with the ability to interpolate up to 22MP.
Negatives can be loaded directly into the scanner, as well as through the special adapters that come with the device. Scanned images are saved on an SD card with a slot on the body of the scanner. There’s also an HDMI port for viewing scanned content when connected to an external display.
Scanner is equipped with a 3.5-inch tilting screen, for previewing images before scanning. On-screen controls let you adjust color and adjust exposure. The scanner supports Windows and Mac OS without installing additional drivers.
Package includes: 3 adapters, 3 guides, power supply, USB cable, HDMI cable, video cable and cleaning brush. Kodak Scanza will be available on Amazon for $170. No available date specified.
This device sounds really interesting! I’m curious to know if the Kodak Scanza works with various sizes of film negatives or if it is limited to a specific format?
This sounds like a great device for photography enthusiasts, but I’m curious about its performance. Does the Kodak Scanza ensure high-quality JPEG conversions from negatives? How easy is it to use, and does it offer any additional editing or customization options for the digital files?
