I need to go through hundreds of family slides and put them in some sort of order. This is exactly what I needed!

Perfect for what I wanted. It's hand-held, you can use it while traveling; it's easy to go through a pile of slides quickly! I'm very pleased. Great for the price.

Small, light and compact, this hand held viewer is easy to use and a quick and simple way to see and sort slides.

I have a "gazillion" 35mm slides from about 40-years ago. We haven't viewed them for many years because of an old projector/screen etc. I wanted to sort through all of my slides, and keep those which are good memories or in a few cases, exceptional photos, transferring them into digital format. You can spend hundreds of dollars on viewers - for the price, the 2x2 screen allows a decent look at the slide and it's condition. No computer link or remote with this viewer, just a little manual tinkering to get the job done. I won't be taking any more slides, so the viewer is expendable after my sorting, and this viewer works well for that. If you work with slides a lot, I'd recommend a higher-end viewer.

This viewer, on 2x AA batteries, was mission perfect for categorizing about 1000 family slides for photolab slide-to-CD scanning. Roundhouse guess, about 150 slides and hour. Tough to beat.
