The PowerFilm is an affordable scanner with unique batch scanning capabilities. It allows users to quickly scan large quantities of 35mm filmstrips with a high resolution of 24M. The PowerFilm, is fast and efficient, it has high-speed scanning at 24 second / frame @6MP resolution. Using this fast 6M setting the digital output is high enough quality to make 300 dpi prints at 10.0 x 6.7 inches (25.4 x 16.9 cm) in size.

Compared to flatbed photo scanners and single filmstrip scanners, the PowerFilm saves time and effort. Users can literally walk away as it scans up to 10 filmstrips unattended. A compact scanner, it is designed for home use but with high-end quality results. The 24 MP image quality is comparable to a high-end DSLR camera, and with 24 megapixel resolution you can output a print size of 20.0 x 13.3 inches (50.8 x 33.9 cm) at 300 dpi.
