DIGITNOW35mm Slide and Film Viewer, 3X Magnification LED Lighted Illuminated Viewing,USB Powered/Battery Operation-for 35mm Slides & Positive Film Negatives(4AA Batteries Included)

Surprised it works so well! Easy insertion of slides and ejecting into a collection tray. Had many old slides that were perfectly illuminated and magnified.

Worked wonderful for slides,great clarity

The product is a simple "one slide at a time" viewer. You insert the slide and after viewing eject it below into a tray by turning a knob. The clarity of the viewer is acceptable. If you are doing a quick evaluation of the content of the slide, you should be able to accomplish this by holding the slide in front of the viewing window. This will save time. According to the product description, the viewer can be powered by either a USB cable (included) or 4 AA batteries (included). However, I had issues. The box was open when it arrived. It was missing the USB cable and only had one of the four batteries. The instructions were badly wrinkled. It seems clear to me that I was not sent a new product but, instead, one that had been rejected by a previous purxhaser. Their customer service was unclear as to how the issues could be resolved so I opted to return the product and purchase from a different supplier. 06/28/2025 UPDATE - Above you can determine why I originally had a "1-star" rating. I have updated my rating to "4-stars" for the following reasons. The product "gets the job done" as I have explained. It isn't fancy, it isn't automated but it works well. The price seems fair to me. In the course of working through my issues of only 1 of 4 batteries and no USB cable, I discovered the following: The Amazon website for this product states that a USB cable is included; but, if you read the information on the actual box, a USB cable is not included. I have notified DigitNow of the need to update the product description. I also worked with DigitNow's customer service, which was very good, on a solution. They have refunded my purchase cost as I need to have the Slide Viewer powered by USB. I am satisfied with the outcome and would buy from DigitNow again.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This product does exactly what it's supposed to - lets you view slides and film negative strips in a slightly larger format. We bought it to have a way to view some slides we found in my parents' house and it worked great for that. One button to turn the light on and one button to eject the slide. Simple!

I originally gave this product a negative review but discovered I was feeding it improperly. It works very well and is very bright and easy to use. I would recommend it to others.

I have many old slides from the 50s and 60s that my late father made from photos of my family, and I needed a slide viewer that made looking at hundreds of them easy. The design is good because the screen is pointing upward at just the correct angle so you don’t have to hold or tilt the viewer or strain your neck. The LED lights up the photos brightly so you can easily see them. The viewer comes with four AA batteries, which was convenient. This slide viewer both for slides and strips of photo negatives from old fashioned cameras. It’s a decent value for the money but could have cost less for what it is.

I'm using it to sort slides and it works fine for this purpose. The image is bright and clear but there is some distortion around the edges of the screen. I will eventually digitize the slides but viewing them through this is fine in the meantime. It works on AA batteries which actually makes it easier to use since there's no heavy cord or transformer brick to mess with.

Shipped promptly and arrived in good condition at a good price. The light is a little brighter when used with the external plug rather than the battery. I was able to view and sort a lot of old slides to prepare for digitizing.
