Kodak SCANZA
Score: 70/100
Epson Perfection V19 II
Score: 66/100Rankings
The Kodak SCANZA (RODFS35) is a compact, standalone film and slide scanner that quickly digitizes 35 mm and other legacy formats with an under-2-second per frame speed. Its film handling can be cumbersome and it lacks advanced software, which may affect consistency for demanding users. Ideal for hobbyists and collectors who need a portable, fast solution for occasional film digitization.
The Epson Perfection V19 II provides 4800 dpi resolution in a lightweight, USB-powered flatbed with one-touch PDF and OCR functions. Its limitations are the absence of an ADF, reliance on a micro-USB connector, and no wireless capability. It fits well for students and casual users needing portable high-resolution scanning.

Professional reviewers consider the Scanza a versatile, fast, and portable solution for digitizing a variety of legacy film formats. They appreciate its comprehensive adapter set and solid build, but note that film loading can be cumbersome and the lack of built-in advanced editing software may require post-processing on a computer.
Professional reviewers commend the V19 II for its low price, high 4800 dpi resolution, and fast 10-second letter-size scans, emphasizing its suitability for casual home and student use. They appreciate the OCR and photo-restoration tools but note the outdated Micro-USB port, limited batch software, and lack of an ADF as drawbacks for power users.
Everyday users consistently praise the scanner's lightweight, portable nature and reliable performance, especially the quick scan times and easy one-touch PDF/OCR functions. The most common criticisms revolve around the Micro-USB connector and the ScanSmart software's limited batch processing capabilities.
