If you still have photo negatives (remember those days?), you can transform them into digital files with this nifty new gadget – it's a USB negative scanner. Just plug into your computer's USB port, insert your negatives, and in just a few seconds, your old-school negatives are transformed into 21st century digital files.
This is helpful for a number of reasons:
- You no longer have to hold on to negatives, thus making your home more decluttered
- You can actually see your photos – no more squinting and holding negatives up to the light
- You can rest assured your photos will stay with you – if you keep digital files backed up safely, then you don't have to worry about safely storing negatives
- You can do something with all those trapped photos – print, scrapbook, post on Flickr, whatever
Just imagine seeing your prom photos on your laptop. Won't that be lovely.

Do you know if this will work with the film that used to come back with a panaramic camera. We have tons of these but I don't know what to do with them AND they've gotten all mixed up so none of them are with their proof prints anymore! I would be in organized heaven if I could get rid of these!
Thanks!
Can you tell me if this USB Negative Scanner has auto-feed? Do you have to scan each photo separately or can you set the negative (which typically has 3-4 photos) into the USB Negative Scanner to automatically scan each photo?
