The cool Slide And Negative To Digital Picture Converter effectively converted boxes and boxes of your old slides and negatives slowly gathering dust over the years, but what about all of those old photographs trapped in similar dusty photo albums? The Photograph To Digital Picture Converter ($150) is the solution.

This cool new device quickly and easily converts photographs into digital images and is much faster and easier than a conventional scanner. Simply place your old photograph into the tray and slide it into the scanner. At the push of a button, it instantly scans and captures the whole photo utilizing a 5 MegaPixel CMOS sensor with up to 1800 dpi resolution, 10 bits per color channel, automatic exposure control and color balance.

Those old photographs of friends, family and memorable places won't last forever and need to be digitally preserved as soon as possible for the enjoyment of many generations to come. Hopefully next up, digital memory synapse backups, because hey, why should we be fully responsible for remembering everything. (via The Green Head)

I have many old photos that I would have to pay to have transferred into a digital format. Why go through the trouble and expense and just DIY? I'm all about that.

LASTING MEMORIES ARE HARD TO KEEP SAFE! THE PHOTOGRAPH TO DIGITAL PICTURE CONVERTER OPERATES EXACTLY LIKE A SCANNER! ONLY THE WORST PART OF USING A SCANNER IS OVER SCANNING! NOT ONLY IS IT TIME CONSUMING TO CROP AND FORMAT YOUR PHOTOS FROM A STANDARD FLATBED OR FORM FED SCANNER BUT USUALLY THE UNIT ITSELF IS VERY SPACE CONSUMING!

Forget those cumbersome scanners when you have this picture converter that allows you to convert actual photographs to digital images. Great way to preserve all those old family albums and family archives

I've got tons of old pictures from when I was a kid that I'm wanting to convert to digital. But, I think I'm gonna skip the obligatory "naked in the bathtub" photos.

I'm a photographer and this beautiful gadget is one of my best friends!
