I bought a Wolverine.. It's easy to use and very handy, but the image quality is quite poor. I went in with low expectations based on the reviews and was still disappointed. Lots of digital artifacts. The one saving grace is that it captures "frame-by-frame" so you don't get a digital blur between the frames that you might get from shooting off the wall with an HD camera. You also need to correct the 30fps speed and aspect ratio. Unfortunately, the awful camera is also built into the device in a way that would be difficult to pop open and easily upgrade.
All that said, I don't think it scratched or noticeably damaged my film (knock on wood!) and is a good way to easily transfer footage to preview. And if it's just yard sale movies or something you're not that personally invested in, it looks decent at a glance. But if it's footage you care deeply about or shot yourself, it won't be pretty. Probably 60-65% of the image quality as compared to projection.
