Why it's a best pick:
The Opticfilm 7300 by Plustek is a mid-range dedicated slide & film scanner that provides great scan quality at a relatively low price. If you’re not scanning at full resolution and have slides that are not too damaged, the scan quality of these rivals those of the excellent Nikon CoolScan 5000. Scan speed is a bit slow but that is not a big price to pay considering the overall quality and price of this scanner. This scanner does a triple pass scan on slides to garner as much pixel data as it can from a slide or film and then averages the data to provide a high quality scan. The bundled LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast 6.5 SEPlus does a commendable job at cleaning up scanned slides of dust and scratches, though it has difficulty with large scratches or debris. This is an all-around good scanner that is suitable for those that need to just scan and backup old slides.
