Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panavue 2 Illuminated Slide Viewer
Customer Review: Great 1 to 1 replacement of retro original
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this as a gift for my father to replace his original Pana-vue that was borrowed and never returned. He was very happy with it since it was a spot-on replica of the original slide viewer from way back when. It's built with thin plastic and has a cheap feel, but it does what it's supposed to do, just like the original. Only difference from the original is this product doesn't have a wire kickstand to prop the screen at an angle.
I recall another review saying the photo was misleading and that the image is not magnified to fill the screen. There is a magnified lens window at the front, so the slides do get enlarged when viewed, but it doesn't fill it like a TV screen obviously.
If you're not looking for some newfangled, high-quality build product or you want to replace an original pana-vue, this is a great buy.
Customer Review: This is not rocket science!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a "gazillion" 35mm slides from about 40-years ago. We haven't viewed them for many years because of an old projector/screen etc. I wanted to sort through all of my slides, and keep those which are good memories or in a few cases, exceptional photos, transferring them into digital format. You can spend hundreds of dollars on viewers - for the price, the 2x2 screen allows a decent look at the slide and it's condition. No computer link or remote with this viewer, just a little manual tinkering to get the job done. I won't be taking any more slides, so the viewer is expendable after my sorting, and this viewer works well for that. If you work with slides a lot, I'd recommend a higher-end viewer.Customer Review: Just What I Needed

After inheriting boxes and boxes of slides in carousels, my husband and I were determined to sort through them. Not only was setting up the projector and screen an inconvenience, but extracing from the carousel the few slides we wanted to keep was difficult. Many years ago we had a single slide viewer but it was misplaced in a move. This slide viewer was not much different than the old viewer except it seemed so much brighter. Looking at nearly 3000 slides and sorting them was a breeze with the Pana-Vue #2. I also purchased the transformer to eliminate the need for batteries and frequent battery replacement. I look forward to using the Pana-Vue as I work through another large slide project.Customer Review: old slides

When my wife's father died he left hundreds of slides that documented the family history. I bought her a way to transfer a slide image to her pc but it would have taken forever to view them and decide which to keep this way. The purchase of this viewer was just the ticket. It allowed instant and quick change viewing so the slides could be sorted. The purchase turned a boring chore into a fun experience. The price was right, it worked as specified and I recommend this slide viewer to anyone wishing to sort a great number of slides.Customer Review: Marie C

Definitely worth the price. The Pana-Vue #2 does exactly what it is suppose to do. Easy viewing with clear picture on the screen. I ordered the extra bulb and power adapter but so far I have not needed to use them. I have already viewed around 1,000 slides on the first set of batteries. This product works exactly as described even better. I am viewing five to six thousand slides to prepare them to be transferred to DVD's for easier and more enjoyable future family viewing.
