V500 Perfection.
on November 23, 2012

THE V500 out of box was easy setup. Initial scans were to dark but after changing to professional mode and making a few adjustments I get scans that are great!! I scan primarily casino chips and some colors are very hard to get good scans of. The V500 does a great job because of it's photoelectric sensor. A great buy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

epson V500 photo scanner

I have about 600 slides from the 50's and 60's I wanted to convert and I had trouble putting out the money for a scanner just for that purpose. My brother recommended this scanner and it is great, It's exactly what I need and when I'm done with the slides I have a document scanner. I've spent 30 years in the printing business running all kinds of production equipment and this scanner is very good for the price and ease of use and it also comes with Photoshop Elements which makes this scanner a bargain. I gave this product 5 stars because putting it in operation was quick and easy and it makes a good quality scan.

Epson Perfection V500

I have scanned both photos and slides with this unit. Both have turned out exceptionally well. I am scanning a lot of old slides to preserve them on my computer. The software allows me to remove dust and restore faded color, which is magnificent. The slides have turned out great. It took a little while to figure out the best resolution, but once I found what I liked it's a breeze. This is a great scanner.

Some times they really do work.

First, it helps if you have had a scanner before.
They all (most) scanner work the same way.
DO NOT plug in the scanner until you have installed the soft ware. Turn off your security soft ware. Keep the box, it has the Serial number.
It does take some time for the soft ware to install.
NOW, Surprise, it will work. I am reviewing slide
copying. No, it's not fast but not bad. The reproduced image is great. The BPI can go to 9600, but can takes forever. 600 or 800 is all you will need. You will have a choice, Scan or preview.
Scan will transfer to PICTURES on to the computer.
Preview will let you see the image before it goes to the computer. NOTE ! use PROFESSIONAL setting, you will see it on the sceen. To get back to scan from preview, click on preview twice.
The instuctions are great until you get to film copy. EXPLORE, you will get it. Note, the top cover has two click stops to hold the lid up, see other reviews. No, the back light is not burned out. You have to turn it on, EXPLORE. Hope this helps. Great Scanner, very happy with it. The only thing that does not work well are the instuctions. It need a (Quick Start) fold out for film/slide copying. All the edit features are there.
Scans direct to (Pictures) on the computer.
For the money you can't beat it. BUT, take your time and EXPLORE the on screen instructions.
YES I would recommend V500 to a friend, for sure.

I have used Epson printers for decades and their products become progressively better as technology advances. Many years ago, I was scanning with their bundled software and I was able to create multiple PDF copies. A feature that I greatly needed at that time.

Epson V500 Photo Scanner

I recently found some very large black and white negatives dating back to the 1920's and wanted to see them as a photo. I bought the scanner and it was exactly what I needed. It worked perfectly and had just the accessories to accommodate the large negatives and now I have some great photos of great grandparents and aunts and uncles when they were young.
