Reflecta x33-Scan, 15.3 MP CMOS, under 2 seconds, 365 g review

Under two seconds a frame — the only scan speed published here — from a 15.3 MP standalone scanner with a 5-inch screen, at 365 g.

The bottom line A standalone 15.3 MP scanner with a 5-inch screen, 128 GB card support and 365 g of weight, scanning a frame in under two seconds — the only speed figure on this shelf, for 130 €. It publishes no dpi, removes no dust, and treats 110 and 126 film as optional extras.

On the listing

Ten short bullets. High resolution from a 15.3 MP CMOS sensor; a large 5-inch IPS screen for selection and preview; fast scanning, digitising an image in under two seconds; automatic and manual colour and exposure correction; storage straight to SD or SDHC cards up to 128 GB; standalone operation with no PC required; versatility across negatives, slides and black-and-white film, with 110 and 126 optional; image optimisation through automatic colour and contrast correction by IET technology; JPEG output compatible with all digital playback devices; and a light, compact body at 365 g for use at home or away.

Under two seconds a frame

The only scan speed on this shelf, and the figure that finishes the job. Five hundred slides is twenty minutes here and two hours on a machine three times slower — and slower machines here do not publish the number at all.

Fifteen point three megapixels, and no dpi

Two scales, and this page picks the one that cannot be compared with the 1800 dpi machines beside it. Sensor pixels are not resolved optical detail.

A hundred and twenty-eight gigabytes of card

Sixteen times the ceiling of the 52 € DIGITNOW here, and a card size that can actually be bought today.

What IET is, and is not

Colour and contrast correction. Not dust. The word sits in the same list as the resolution and does a different job entirely.

Three hundred and sixty-five grams, on a table

One of two weights published on this shelf, and the machine is meant to be carried to whoever owns the slides.

Availability

Between 130 € and 174 € on the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was last checked.

The British Amazon store carry it too, priced in local currency. Those amounts are deliberately absent from the range above, which reads euro stores only.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all, so the button for that country runs a search instead of opening an entry that is not there.

Everything in this section is the figure Keepa carried on the day of the last update to this page. Availability and prices shift without notice.

What it does well, and what it gives up

Strengths

  • Under two seconds a frame, the only published scan speed here
  • A 5-inch IPS screen and 128 GB card support, standalone at 365 g
  • A 15.3 MP sensor with automatic colour and contrast correction

Compromises

  • No dpi figure, so the optical resolution cannot be compared with half this shelf
  • The 110 and 126 formats are optional extras the page does not name
  • No dust removal, and IET is colour correction rather than cleaning

Specifications

Optical resolutionNOT GIVEN IN DPI. The first bullet publishes a 15.3 MP CMOS sensor instead, and the two scales cannot be converted into one another: dpi says what the optics resolve across the film, megapixels say how many pixels the file contains. Three scanners on this shelf publish dpi and three publish megapixels, and the hub above asks for the first
Formats accepted135 film, slides and black-and-white negatives, with 110 and 126 listed as OPTIONAL in the seventh bullet — so the two older formats need something bought separately, which the page does not name or price
Holders suppliedNot itemised. That the 110 and 126 formats are optional implies holders are what they require, and the page never lists what arrives in the box
Bit depthNot published
Dust removal methodNOT DESCRIBED — and the page invites the confusion. Its eighth bullet names IET technology for automatic colour and contrast correction, which is image processing and not dust removal. Only the 559 € Plustek on this shelf has an infrared channel for dust
Output formatsJPEG, in the ninth bullet, described as compatible with all digital playback devices, saved to SD or SDHC cards up to 128 GB — sixteen times the 8 GB ceiling of the 52 € DIGITNOW here
Scan speedPUBLISHED: a frame in under two seconds, in the third bullet, and it is the only speed figure on this shelf. On a box of five hundred slides that is the difference between an afternoon and a weekend — the specification that decides whether the project finishes

What people ask before they commit

Why is two seconds a frame the important number?

Because volume is what defeats these projects. Five hundred slides at two seconds each is under twenty minutes of scanning; at fifteen seconds it is two hours, and at thirty it never gets finished. This is the only page on this shelf to publish the figure, and on a machine meant for a shoebox it matters more than another megapixel.

Can 15.3 MP be compared with 1800 dpi?

Not directly, and that is the problem with this shelf. Eighteen hundred dpi across a 36 mm frame is about 2550 pixels wide — roughly 4 MP. A 15.3 MP sensor could correspond to some 3600 dpi if every pixel resolved real detail on the film, and sensor pixels are not the same thing as resolved optical detail. The honest reading is that this is a higher-resolution machine than the 1800 dpi pair here, by an amount the page does not let you calculate.

Is IET dust removal?

No. The eighth bullet names IET for automatic colour and contrast correction — it improves the image, it does not find the specks. Dust removal in the proper sense uses an infrared channel to map particles and subtract them, and on this shelf only the 559 € Plustek does it.
