Thus, concerning the resolution, there were no changes between the x1-Scan and the x-Scan. Considering that the 35-mm slides or the 35-mm negatives that were exposed with a good camera contain some image information up to 20 megapixels, one rapidly recognizes that with the Reflecta x1-Scan it is only possibe to get a fraction of the actual image information contained in the film. Therewith, the scanner takes only very few image information from the 35-mm film. But a resolution of 1500 dpi means that one will only get approximately 3 megapixels of real image information, thus the remaining 2 megapixels are redundant.
In the case of the Reflecta x-Scan, we have measured a resolution of 1500 dpi in the case of the x1-Scan, the measured value should be within a similar margin. As we showed in our detailed test report about the reflecta x-Scan, the real resolution that such a scanner provides in practice is lower than announced on the data sheet. The Reflecta x1Scan digitalizes the 35-mm films with a resolution of 1800 dpi the scans with such a resolution are of an image size of approximately 5 megapixels, thus of a lower camera level. As it is the case of the Reflecta x-Scan, one has to load the slide adapter or the negative adapter with some 35-mm slides or 35-mm negatives, inserts then the adapter into the scanner, makes a preview of the image, sets some adjustments, scans the image and then moves the film adapter manually up to the next image position, so that the next image can be digitalized.

The x1-Scan either digitalizes positives as also negatives, that means also some framed negatived can be inserted into the slide adapter, and in the film strip adapter also positive strips and single images (positives and negatives) can be inserted.Įven though the film adapters suggest the buyers that, due to the possibility of inserting several pieces of film material at once, the film material is automatically and consecutively scanned, some manual work is required. Thus, is the Reflecta x1-Scan only a x-Scan with another product description? The x1-Scan has the same film holder as the x-Scan, thus a slide frame adapter for up to 3 framed slides of 35-mm and a film strip adapter for negative film strips of a length up to 6 images. By looking at the case of the Reflecta x1-Scan, one will immediately recognize the similarity with the reflecta x-Scan.
While in spring 2009 still a Reflecta X3-Scan was introduced into the market as the first film scanner that can be operated without using a PC, in autumn 2009, the Reflecta x1-Scan came into the market quasi as a laggard. The Reflecta x1-Scan was replaced by its successor Reflecta x2-Scan in September 2008.
