The Hammacher unit is a VuPoint. It will only run on XP and I've heard running the Veho software can crash an entire Vista system completely. The Nikon Coolscan V is also only XP compatible, but if you do have XP and can afford a $500 unit, this scanner is the best you will ever find for quality photos from slides and negatives. Impeccable. But I can't afford it... The Veho from Brookstone has 12 user reviews. 3 are 5*, 3 are 4*, 2 are 2* and 4 are 1*. That's 6 great, 6 horrible. I'm not going to buy the Veho because I want to wait for a unit that can support Vista and gets good reviews all around. The VuPoint from Hammacher, which is also available now at Bed Bath and Beyond for $99 (plus you can use a 20% off coupon and buy this unit for $80) has an average of 4* from 34 users. But don't forget, VuPoint/Hammacher is for XP only! The Veho from Brookstone supports Vista. The Hammacher unit is a VuPoint.

Around #41 a guy mentions that there are two different products that look the same and manufactured by the same place but the Veho seems to be the only one that states its Vista Compatible. But one lady was able to do a patch update with the Vupoint one that said it was only WindowsXP. There were good and bad comments on this product. Amazon has some good converter devices that are more expensive than this. Here is the comments website http://www.techchee.com/2007/06/11/slide-and-negavtive-to-digital-picture-converter/ Here is a link for a list of slide and film converter devices including the veho with reviews. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_e/105-1622614-6598013?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=negative+scanner I found this website with reviews and comments that might prove helpful.

They look exactly alike but slightly dif descriptions and one has Veho on the front. VEho is not even mentioned on the Hammacher and Skymall websites.
