Features
Automatically detects the size of the document being scanned. No need to manually set the size each time you scan documents of different sizes. Useful for quickly scanning mixed-size documents like receipts and business cards.
This scanner does not automatically detect the size of the film or slide. Users need to manually select the appropriate settings for each scan. This can be a minor inconvenience, especially when scanning mixed formats.
Simultaneously scans both sides of a document in a single pass. Efficiently digitizes double-sided documents such as contracts and reports. Significantly reduces scanning time.
The Kodak SCANZA does not support double-sided scanning. Since it's designed for film and slides, this function is not applicable. Each slide or film negative needs to be scanned individually.
Automatically determines whether to scan a document in color or monochrome based on its content. No need to manually switch settings for documents containing both color and black-and-white elements. Streamlines the scanning process.
The scanner does not automatically switch between color and monochrome. Users need to manually select the appropriate mode based on the media being scanned. This requires some user intervention but ensures accurate color reproduction.
Enhances the clarity of text in scanned images, making it easier to read. Improves the legibility of documents with faint or unclear text. Beneficial for archiving old or low-quality documents.
This scanner does not have a text enhancement function, as it is primarily designed for scanning film and slides, not documents. Therefore, text clarity is not a primary focus of this device.
Automatically corrects skewing and distortion in scanned images. Produces clean, professional-looking scans even if the original document is slightly misaligned. Saves time by eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
The scanner offers basic image adjustments like color and brightness, but it lacks advanced automatic image correction features such as skew correction or distortion removal. Users may need to perform these corrections manually using photo editing software.
Allows scanned documents to be directly uploaded to cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox. Enables easy access to scanned documents from anywhere. Convenient for sharing documents with others or backing them up.
The Kodak SCANZA does not support direct uploading to cloud storage services. Users need to save the scanned images to an SD card and then transfer them to a computer for uploading to cloud storage. This adds an extra step to the process.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
The Kodak SCANZA is a budget-friendly option for digitizing old film. Its ease of use and multiple format support make it accessible for home users. However, image quality is limited by its 14/22MP sensor, and it lacks advanced features found in higher-end scanners. It's suitable for basic archiving and sharing.
