Great scanner for cost. This review is based on the fact that I've only used this scanner for film scanning.
Pros: High resolution scans resolve fine grained films; Easy to setup and use; low cost compared to similar scanners.
Cons: Flatbed scanner is a static dust magnet, making it extremely difficult to keep dust off my scans; dust removal feature is mediocre at best; film carrier is flimsy plastic and I don't expect it to outlive the scanner.
Overall, 4 stars, largely due to the low cost, but the overall quality of scans (given dust and whatnot) is suitable for only web posting and contact sheets.

V500 Scanner Review
on April 15, 2011
Posted by: rpritcha
from Shediac, New Brunswick
Setup was straight forward and took less than 5 minutes from scanner in box to first scan out.
Speed was impressive, no warm up was required. Images were superb as expected.
I would prefer to select whether or not to add the numbering system to the file name as in previous versions of my old Expression scanner however it only took a couple of seconds to delete the number in the file name.
Looking forward to trying out the negative and slide features.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Color Restoration
on April 19, 2011
Posted by: Southern Yankee
from Mount Gilead, NC
I am awed at the ability of this scanner to restore color of my old 35mm slides. The end result looks as if I took the pictures today with my digital camera. Photos and documents are sharp, clear and true color.
The scanning is a little slow, but once all settings are chosen, you can set up a process and do multi-tasking on the computer while the scanner is scanning.
I like the feature where the cover will stay open at 45 degrees for loading or removing slides or documents.

Best Scanner
on April 26, 2011

from Temecula, CA
I have used this scanner for 2 years. It's easy to use when scanning 35mm film negatives for later processing. It's also easy to scan everyday items to be filed electronically on your computer or to be printed.
The quality of all of my scanned items always come out great.
Highly recommended.

Very pleased

I don't normally write reviews, but as happy as I am with this product, I felt I should. I've had it for less than a day but I'm completely in love with this scanner. I'm an artist, so making sure that what I see on the page is what I see on the screen is very important for me. This scanner picked up details right down to paper texture, and duplicated my color pencil drawings perfectly. I own photoshop, and I'm used to having to make a lot of color corrections, but with this scanner I didn't even need to. It scans a million times faster than my old scanner to boot (to be fair, though, my previous scanner was very old so the performance comparison is probably what has me so amazed).
An excellent product for the price!

Epson V500 Photo / Slide Scanner
on May 2, 2011

This is a terrific product. I've got a thousand + slides to scan, and I've done about a hundred in an initial rush. Couldn't be easier! 4 at a time. I've used it entirely in "automatic" mode, and that's completely simple and satisfactory.
I also scanned a 35 page document which has been around for several years, using OCR. Worked great!
Only complaint: Surely it would be a simple matter to provide a simple, short paper manual to get us started on basic procedures. That would have been a HUGE help!

The scanner does everything it is advertised to do. Scan rates are not fast (relatively high resolution) but faster than my previous scanner. As expected, you would not use this to scan in your slide collection.
The scanner initially had problems with error (sounded like a cog belt slipping on a clog pulley). Recieved replacement scanner and everything is fine now.

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner

Awesome machine! Just got it 2 days ago. Easy set up. Easy, fairly fast scan. Have scanned 325 photos so far. Great results. Love that it separates photos for me. Just have to keep enough distance b/t them on the scanner or it will not separate them when scanning. Love the different settings for scanning. Worth the money. Disappointed that Photoshop Elements 6 is included instead of 8. Out of date software!
