It creates ~10 megapixels images from a batch of up to 50 slides at a time. Great colors etc. In fact, I offer slide (and neg) scanning as a service and I have made back the cost of the slide scanner with the jobs I have done for other. They really appreciate it too as they have not seen the images sometimes in years.
