Many of us have old photos albums, loose photos, negatives and even videos that are precious to us and that we would like to treasure in a more modern format. That is where Scan Digital can help. You simply send them your old photo albums, photos, negatives and videos and they will scan and digitize them for you and then you can keep them safely forever and view them on your computer and even share them with others. Your precious photos and family movies will be easily available for you to see enjoy and share anytime, right there on your computer.
ScanDigital: Key Differentiators
- Good attention to detail. Repairing film and photos before digitizing them.
- Conversion of not only VHS films to DVD format but also older types of film and formats as well.
- Creations of specially arranged DVD slide shows of photos for gifts, weddings, reunions, wakes, etc.
- Digital frame loading service, including the frame.
ScanDigital vs. Leading Alternatives
Scandigital is the premier photo and video scanning service but they have some competition. Places like Scan My Photos International and even your local Walgreens.
Scan My Photos International only works with photos and they do provide the extra services such as album scanning, digital picture frame loading, and custom DVD slide show creations.
Walgreens offers many of the services but they do not take their time to provide good quality repairs of the photos and the films with the same amont of detail that Scandigital does. Of course this attention to detail will cost you slightly more with Scandigital.
Detailed Review of ScanDigital
Scandigital was founded in 2007 by college friends Anderson Schoenrock and Mike Mothner. The idea for the company came about after Mike’s mother received a digital camera for Christmas. After downloading the photos on to the computer she wanted to know how she could put all her old paper photos on the computer. Mike went about searching how and that is how Scandigital was born.
Scandigital will take your old photographs, slides, and even negatives as well as your old VHS family movies and other cassettes from other movie cameras and place them all on a disc or hard drive or DVD fo
r movies for you so that you have them all in one safe compact format.
No more keeping huge boxes of old VHS tapes around anymore wondering how you are going to ever view them again. Same thing goes for those old movie reels that your parents took back when you were a child. Those precious memories have probably been sitting in a box in your basement or garage unwatched because you no longer have the projector for watching them. Now you can not only watch them but keep them in a safe and modern format. They will also repair any damage done by time to these films by splicing them making them seamless to watch. They handle the following film formats: 8mm, Sper8 and 16mm. They will have your movies transferred to DVD’s in just a couple of weeks. They will tranfer your old VHS tapes to DVD format for you as well even if they were taken with a Beta camera. They handle: Regular VHS, VHS-C, Hi8/Digital8, and miniDV cassetts.
Pictures even those in black and while will also remain high quality forever in digital format on a disc or on a hard drive. They will even fix your photos for you; they will crop them, colour correct them, and even remove dust and minor blemishes on them. You can even have a DVD slide show created for special photos and they will do nearly all the work for you. These can be played at weddings, parties, reunions, and even wakes. They will create a slide show using up to 250 photos for just under $100.
Scandigital will also scan your scrap book pages for you. Send in yor scrapbook pages and they will scan them for you and put them in a digital format for you so you can view them on your computer or even share your hard work with others on line.
They will even load a digital photo frame for you. For less than $110.00 they will load up to 2000 photos on a digital photo frame for you, and then send you the frame and a DVD of the photos. The frame is included in the price. This makes a fantastic gift for pretty much anyone.
Scandigital also offers many different shipping options including a Digipac option where they will send you all the materials and preprinted shipping labels and instructions for shipping your items to them using UPS for just $10.
After reading 6 pages of reviews on Amazon.com of Scandigial.com I can say that over all people are very impessed with the service. They rank a solid 4.5 stars out of 5 and out of all the reviews I read only 1 was purely negative.
One reviewer on Amazon had this to say about Scandigital.com: "I have to say I was extremely happy with this company. I’ve been telling friends about them. I was thinking of purchasing an expensive piece of equipment to transfer 6 tapes from VHS to DVD. So happy I didn’t and had ScanDigital do it instead. The quality is great and fancy menu was more than I could have achieved. I already made a copy of my set and mailed them off to my daughter to enjoy. I also got a call from their customer service which went very well – highly recommend them."
