It's a Good Scanner

As a replacement for my old Epson Perfection scanner (maybe 100,000 scans): I Like It! I receive great contrast for my Certified Cameo Proof coins; currency looks nice scanned. Documents and ephemera as well look good enough to sell. 5 Stars
Just purchase the new Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner after my Epson 1240U Scanner no longer worked with my Imac Snow Leopard operating system. Not to my surprise, the V500 worked perfectly the minute I set it up and downloaded the new software. Needless to say, they made great improvements to this new version compared to the old 1240U model. Prints were incredibly sharp and the colors were vivid. Couldn't tell the difference between the original and scanned copies.
I have used this scanner to digitize well over 3000 medium format transparencies and the results have been consistently superb! The included masks are a bit on the flimsy side so I recommend care in using them, but mine have held up well to date. I have also scanned over 1200 35mm slides and negatives with just as impressive results. The scanner could be faster, especially when using high resolution, but that would obviously increase the cost and/or reduce the quality of the scans. I highly recommend this scanner, and have done so regularly and many people that I have recommended it to have bought it and also love it.
Excellent scanner. The photo repair does a great job - restored all my 40 year old wedding pictures. My brother got the V700 which is nicer if you have a lot of scanning to do as it has a feeder. The two of us have been collecting old family photos and we have brought them back to life.
The scanner delivers very good images and works well scanninng multiple pictures. Hardware works very well; however the Epson but has a bug with Win-XP installing the Event Manager & in supporting the buttons on the scanner. Installs ok on Win 7. I am pleased with the quality of the scans and would recommend the scanner to a friend that Win-7.
I started downloading the setup disc and followed the directions carefully. When the download was complete I was on the home page. Later when I opened the scanner program I was on the scan page and unable to access any other page. After running throught the troubleshooting I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but that didn't help. Each file had the exact same content. I'm not a novice when it comes to computers but I gave up. I took it to a computer specialist and was sugested I buy new scanner. I will and it will most likely not be an Epson. Very disapointed.
