I just saw this in a recent flyer from CPC and looked it up on their
web site, very few details:-

Does anyone know anything about it? Speed, quality, etc.?

Don't know myself, but bung the model name in Google and you get loads
of places selling it - Amazon, Scan etc.

There seams to be lots of different names for it and lots of seller and
prices To me it looks like its simple lens near the top sort of like a Slide
copier to mount on a camera but with the camera built in.
no one gives much spec but I noted one advertiser says Interpolated 5mp
output.
Me I would not chance it when you can get flatbeds with built in slide neg
adaptors for the same money

It's a Veho product

Apparently it's fast, but there's no manual white balance control.
I've no idea of the quality of the scans.
