R8mm transferred three ways 

Thanks for the comparison! Interestinly, the mega-expensive Moviestuff machine (is it model "cheap" I, or the twice as expensive ($13k), new model II?) isn't better than the 400 USD Chinese "toy". Actually, it seems to have a lower dynamic range - the curtains in front of the windows are significantly more visible on the Chinese version than on the Moviestuff one. And that's not because the latter overexposed the film: based on the shadows, both seem to have the same exposure. Now, I'd be more than interested in how the two digitizers compare WRT resolution - with the best (40 ISO?) negative materials at the moment. (Of course the Chinese one will mess up the color balance as it'll try interpreting as positive.)

After a short period of use, my Kodak failed. However, I managed to make some observations. 1. In general, the device provides good scanning quality. 2. I also wanted to compare the two scanning options. I have films digitized with a high-end Muller Data Framescanner video camera and scanner. At first glance, Kodak loses slightly to him in quality, and obviously wins from the artisanal method. 3. Unfortunately, Kodak does not provide the ability to adjust contrast. In my opinion, it is better to scan with low contrast, and then, if necessary, make adjustments in the video editor. 4. Kodak makes some automatic adjustments to brightness and white balance. This can be noticed if you switch the 8mm/super mode after turning on the device in frame adjustment mode.
