The film holders are some of the best around, they are a little tricky to load the film into, but they hold the film tightly, and most importantly they hold it very flat for a perfect even scan. It depends on the type of scanning you wish to do, but if you use the bundled Silverfast software or alternative VueScan, then you will probably never use the other two QuickScan buttons. There are three buttons on the front of the case, the buttons don’t feel particularly secure, with the power button especially having quite the rattle to it, but after a lot of use, it is still working perfectly. The body is plastic, but it feels sturdy and strong, if I was moving it in its protective case I wouldn’t worry much about it getting damaged. It is also very lightweight, it feels almost like there is nothing at all inside the plastic shell, so it is easy to transport from place to place if necessary. The Plustek Opticfilm 8200i SE is incredibly small, it also comes in a neat little nylon case, where you can tuck away the machine, all the wires, and the film holders for easy storage when not in use.
