Kodak sells more than one desktop film scanner, and Amazon listings blur the names. SCANZA and Slide N Scan are different products. This comparison keeps the labels honest and helps you pick by film types, screen size, and how you actually digitize.
Stock checked the same day as this draft for the two Amazon units below. No other ASINs. No prices in this post — check the live listing.
Quick verdict
- Choose SCANZA if you need Super 8 / 8mm movie film adapters in the same kit as 35mm and 110/126 stills, and a smaller 3.5″ preview screen is fine.
- Choose Slide N Scan if you mostly digitize still film (135 / 110 / 126), want a larger 5″ LCD, and want the higher stated 22MP capture path on that model.
Neither replaces a flatbed with a film holder for archival drum-level work. Both are consumer “insert film, save JPEG to SD” machines.

KODAK SCANZA — the wider format kit
Live listing title: KODAK SCANZA Film & Slide Scanner, 3.5″ LCD, 35mm, 126, 110, Super 8 & 8mm.
is the one that still says SCANZA on the box and the Amazon title. The practical reason to buy it is format coverage: still negatives and slides plus Super 8 / 8mm movie film in the same desktop unit. Families with a mixed shoebox (vacation 35mm plus a few movie reels) often land here so they are not buying a second specialty gadget for the reels.
The preview screen is 3.5″. That is enough to crop, rotate, and confirm you loaded the strip the right way. It is not a large review display. Plan to judge final color and dust on a computer after the JPEGs land on the SD card.
Use SCANZA when the deciding factor is “one machine for stills and Super 8/8mm,” not when you want the biggest on-device screen.
KODAK Slide N Scan — larger screen, still-film focus
Live listing title: KODAK Slide N Scan Film & Slide Scanner, 22MP, 5″ LCD Screen, 135/110/126mm.
is a different Kodak SKU. Do not treat this ASIN as SCANZA. The title and model name are Slide N Scan. It leans into still film (135 / 110 / 126) with a 5″ LCD and a 22MP JPEG capture path on the listing.
The larger screen matters if you will spend an evening cleaning dust, adjusting brightness, and confirming frames before you save. If your archive is almost all 35mm slides and negatives — and you do not need Super 8 adapters — this is usually the cleaner fit.
Stock on this unit can run thin; re-check the Amazon page before you publish or buy.
How to choose without mixing the names up
- Read the model on the Amazon title, not a blog that reused “SCANZA” as a generic label. SCANZA =
B00O2BU8PK. Slide N Scan =B084NVRHYQ. - List your media. Any Super 8 / 8mm reels → bias SCANZA. Mostly 35mm slides/negatives → Slide N Scan is the simpler match.
- Decide where you review. Prefer cropping on the device → larger 5″ Slide N Scan screen. Prefer dump-to-SD and edit later → either works; SCANZA’s smaller screen is less of a drawback.
- Expect consumer JPEG workflows. Both save to SD. Neither is a drum scanner. Dust, Newton rings, and color casts still need a pass in your photo editor.

This is not a ClearClick VHS converter guide, not an Epson V600 flatbed roundup, and not a remap of older Digitize Your Life slide-scanner posts. Two Kodak desktop scanners, two ASINs, labels kept straight.

Frequently asked questions
Is the KODAK Slide N Scan the same as the SCANZA?
No. They are different Kodak products with different Amazon listings: SCANZA is B00O2BU8PK and Slide N Scan is B084NVRHYQ. Read the model name on the Amazon title, not a blog that uses “SCANZA” as a generic label.
Which Kodak scanner handles Super 8 and 8mm movie film?
SCANZA. Its kit includes Super 8 and 8mm adapters alongside 35mm, 126, and 110 stills. Slide N Scan is focused on still film (135, 110, 126).
How big are the screens?
SCANZA has a 3.5-inch preview screen and Slide N Scan has a 5-inch LCD. The larger screen helps if you want to crop, adjust brightness, and confirm frames on the device before saving.
Do these replace a flatbed film scanner?
No. Both are consumer scanners that save JPEGs to an SD card (card not included), and dust, Newton rings, and color casts still need a pass in a photo editor.
