Back in the olden days, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, we took photographs with cameras that used a media called film. The most popular variety was 35mm film and people either made negatives to print photos, or they made positive images called slides for projection. Very old school. So, here we are, decades later, and what do we do with all of that old media now? Why digitize it of course! Stafford Labs offers a Digital Image Copier that hooks up to your computer via USB and it transforms all of your old slides and negatives into digital gold. It's virtually plug and play and it comes with Arcsoft's Photoimpression 6 software. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I sold this item on the Shopping Channel in Canada some weeks back, but hey, that's where we fell in love...
Seriously though, being able to take thirty year old negatives and play them on your iPod or digital picture frame or even email them is a pretty cool thing. And it's ridiculously easy to do, in fact, it's addictive. You start out with the intention of digitizing just one image and the next thing you know five hours have past, you haven't taken a bathroom break, and you're still going strong.
