The Kodak Scanza digital film and slide scanner, which has just been released by C+A Global, digitizes a variety of film formats including 35mm, 126, 110, Super 8 and 8mm negatives and slides into optimized 14-megapixel or interpolated 22-Mp digital files. Images are stored on an SD card just as with a camera.

"Kodak has a steep heritage in film and, perhaps more importantly, helping people preserve life's precious memories. Many folks have boxes filled with Kodak film ready to be given new life, with no means of doing so," said Joel Satin, vice president of brand licensing at Kodak. "With the Kodak Scanza digital film scanner, reliving these moments and bringing them into the digital world is as easy as scan, save and share."

The kit comes a set of film adapters and inserts, the scanner with its built-in 3.5-inch LCD color display and easy-to-use interface, plus multiple cables for device connections.

The scanner interface allows you to enhance the image quality of the scan, including the ability to adjust RGB levels and brightness. The scanner's gallery mode can display images in a slide show during which you can rotate, flip and delete images.
