Not bad... not as sharp as I had hoped for 5 MP resolution. Picture is kinda soft. This is from a slide.

Eh... don't waste your money on this one. There is FAR more usable information in the slide than the scanner recovers. It may claim 5MP, but the actual resolution doesn't come near that. It also has a problem with high contrast, like in B/W negatives. Washes out terribly.

Can you view the pics on your monitor as you scan them?

Yes, and they look just like a good digital picture because the scanner digitizes them.
You load the software disc into the computer then put the slides or negatives in the scanner and it displays them on your monitor. There you can make any changes just like you would in a photo shop program.
If you want, you can use it first to see if you like it.
