Wow, is this a nice scanner

My old scanner was at the point that it refused to talk to my operating system (Mac OS X Lion) any more, and it was more trouble than it was worth to limit scanning to when I was on a PC, so I looked for a new one. After some research, I chose this one, even though it doesn't scan legal-size.
Wow, is this a nice scanner. I should have dumped the old one a long time ago. The scan clarity is amazing, and the doc feeder is a nice plus.
I haven't timed it, but I'd say I get a 600 dpi scan in about a third of the time of the old one. And the scan is gorgeous - I don't have to spend time cleaning the image up, as with the old one.
Thanks, Epson, for another good product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Grat addition

This is a great addition to your hardware if you are into photography. I was able to convert over 1,500 family slides into digital pictures with little difficulty. I have also been able to copy pictures for friends to make a Power Point presentation using my new Epson Power lite S11. Between the two products and Adobe Photoshop Element the possibilities are really unlimited.
I have already recommenced the Epson photo copier to several friends, and at the end of the month I am doing a Power Point Presentation for a friend who is celebrating her 90th birthday.

I bought my original V500 in February 2010 to do the project of scanning and filing on flash drives old family photos prior to the digital era. Some pictures were prior to WWII. I was nearly done when on Monday it died. I tried to use my printer/scanner but it wouldn't work as easy so Tuesday morning I bought another one. It is now Thursday morning and I finished the last 900 photos. It automatically scans photos/documents AND cleans up the dust. I hated to have to buy another scanner so close to finishing but I am finished. The copier/scanner does not automatically distinguish what it is and I could only do one at a time. With the V500 I could do 3 or 4 at a time.

I just bought this product today , my other Epson Scanner was having problems, and I needed to scan quite a number of color negs, color slides and color prints.
Right from the get go this scanner worked great just like the information said it would. This is why I stick to Epson Products.

V500 PHOTO SCANNER
on June 28, 2012
Posted by: Scanner Dude
from Lacey, WA
I got this scanner in May or June of 2011. I found the instructions lacking but the machine is a great piece of work. I have scanned old negatives, 35mm transparencies and photo prints. Very good results with all. The negatives came out even better than I expected. Would I buy this scanner again, absolutely. One of Epsons best kept secrets and that's a shame.

Fantastic scanner clearly best option

I highly recommend this scanner for Medium format negatives, The V500 is clearly the best solution for this format. I am currently scanning 8,000 medium format negatives from the 30's thru 50's after looking at the results from just a few scans I have retired my 3 other scanners.
CONS.
If you have started a large scan project with a inferior scanner, you will have to rescan previously scanned negatives with the V500.

The film holder is very flimsy but functional I am sure I will break it before I finish this project.
I wish the Epson Scan Software worked on Linux, ISCAN For Linux is to basic.
I quickly found out the connectivity issues were caused by the WIN-7 screen saver.
I am sure if you are not getting Professional results with the V500 you are doing something wrong.

WOW

I've been scanning for 15 years or so, and always used another brand of scanner. I always liked that brand, but they've grown very lax in providing drivers for new Macintosh operation system versions. So... it was time for a change.
My photographer friends have always raved about Epson everything - scanners, printers, everything, so I thought I should look for an Epson scanner. I liked the very high resolution available on this one, and some of the other features.
WOW - the scans blow me away. So clear, just beautiful - the scans make me sorry I stuck with the other brand for so long.
The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is that it's not legal-size. I have to stitch two-scan legal size docs together in Photoshop; even that's not too big a deal. This is an amazing scanner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it

I just got this scanner and right after setting it up I did some 4800 dpi scans of 35mm B&W negatives. Wow! The scans are very detailed and subtle tonal variations are beautifully rendered. I am a very happy camper. The only negative is that the scanner is SLOOOOW. Be prepared to wait almost ten minutes to scan eight negatives at this resolution.
I would recommend this to a friend!
