35MM Film Scanner

I ran across a product and wondered if anyone has any knowledge of these. It's called a PrimeFilm 35mm Film & Slide Scanner 3650U. What I'm wondering is exactly how this works. Does it allow you to scan in your negatives and save them to your computer? And does it scan just like it would if you were scanning the picture? In other words all the color from the picture would be there?
Thanks
Angel

I own it and use it and like it. It comes with software that allows you to adjust each scan before actually scanning. Yes, it might be time consuming but if you have some really old negatives from the 70's or 60's it will do a nice job restoring colors and eliminating dust and scratches.
I read the review to which SR linked above. I'm not an expert so I don't really understand what the reviewers did not like. Considering that we scrap at 300 dpi I don't think that scanning at 3600 dpi is a limitation.
Anyways, just my 2cents.

Thanks for the info. I was looking for a way to be able to scan negatives instead of the picture hoping to elimate some of the dust. But was making sure that when you scan them it looks like a normal picture would. I found it for around $169 and was just debating on whether or not to buy it.
