Easy to Use with Great Results
on February 2, 2011

The V500 Photo Scanner can be used by a computer novice and get great results. Was amazed at how simple scanning photos and slides could be. The color restoration is terrific. Photos taken in 1977 restored and look like they were taken today. Automatically stores your photos in "Pictures" on your computer. No need to search to find them. Or you can locate them anywhere you wish.
I would recommend this to a friend!

V500 Scanner

Very impressed with the quality of the scanning both black and white and color. Beats the quality of the all in one economy printer scanners by a large margin.Works
with old slides and 35 mm negatives as advertised, producing great results. The photo shop program that comes with is excelent but is very complicated and takes practice to master. All in all the V500 is a great value.

Great scanner
on February 17, 2011
Posted by: slider
from Aurora, IL
I searched for a looooong time to find a scanner that did a great job AND was fast. While I am not so sure about the fast, I am very happy with the great job this scanner does. I have scanned over 2000 slides so far. I have many, many to go. I wish I could get a setting that I knew was the best selection.
I have digitized most of my family pictures with a video camera on a photo stand with a program on an ME computer. I can do several pictures in a minute with excellent results. I can do 4 slides in about 12 minutes, so this is a different ballgame. I line up other jobs, or dust, in the downtime.....otherwise I would go nuts.
I have recommended this machine to several other people who are dredding the slide job.
I would buy this again!!!!!!!

Epson Perfection V500 Scanner
on February 22, 2011

Over the years, my current scanner, Epson Perfection V500 scanner, is the 3rd scanner I have purchased. There was nothing terribly wrong with my previous choices, but, they were not able to give me the type and level of scan output I needed when I began taking my photography and graphic design hobby more seriously. The V500 gives me a choice of simple scan output and a more detailed professional choice in the scan output than I was ot able to produce previously. The files generated by the V500 give me strong color and output in various file types that can be used for many kinds of projects easily and with clear direction as to the choices I should make. I was skeptical when I read the ad for this equipment, but I am happy to say that the ad was right on the mark.

Good Value vs Price
on February 26, 2011
Posted by: Cactus Barb
from Tucson, AZ
Having used flatbed scanner and engineering scanners for almost twenty years, this one is one of the better flatbed scanners. It is ideal for the small office and its options make working in a production environment easy.
The setup is easy and not a hassle. The only issue I have is the software noted an “incompatibility message” with XP. I ignored that and there were no ill effects. Also, the software did not install on one user and asked for the CD.
The quality of the scans, the OCR and the PDF features are very good. The images are clear and there is no “background” clutter from page folds etc. when the brightness and contrast are adjusted.
The PDF management is above average. File size vs. resolution on PDF’s is good.
For what you get, this scanner package is a bargain.

The perfect mashine for my needs - to scan 35 mm slides as well as 120 film slides of diffent formats. Does a very good job nearly all the time - sometimes the film seems to need repositioning to get proper focusing. The price is great - a higher priced unit would probably not be as slow and awkward to operate - but that seems to be the only weakness that I am aware of. In the end you know you have a great scan done with a low priced mashine!

V500 Photo Scaner

Works very well but is slow. I Scanned 1000 slides over several days. The slides were old but it did a good job on scanning them. I am pleased with it and it can be used as a regular flatbed scanner when finished with the slides.

Upload slides
on March 15, 2011
Posted by: Riitta
from Toronto Ontario Canada
Size and weight of machine are okay (smaller would be better), and the quality is good for the slides I am uploading. The manual is difficult to follow and the diagrams are not easy to comprehend. The slide tray is okay to work with, but it is difficult to remove the slides after uploading.
As the lid is lifted up, the cord at the back (for the slides) keeps moving out and at times changes the program and cannot do slides. Must keep checking the connection and pushing it back in.
