Affordability with excellence
on January 8, 2013
Posted by: mario
from In the middle of nowhere, in Missouri....
I am was professional photographer long before the digital age and for more than 25 years, I found myself with more than a dozen boxes full of color slides and negatives. (more than 10.000 photographs between color slides and negatives.)
The V500 is all I need to transfer my photos into digital images. The features that this scanner saved me an incredible number of hours of Photoshop in trying to fix the negs and slides. It is fast, compact and, most of all, affordable.
I know that there are different scanners that can do the same thing, however this one is the one that can transform a faded color slide into a color slide with vivid and full colors.
I do recommend the V500 to anyone that has images to transfer an do not have time or the expertise to play around Photoshop or similar image enhancing software.

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.

Great Photo Scanner
on February 24, 2013

from New York
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.

Hardware seems good. Software is junk
on September 8, 2012

The installer installed the driver without any input from me. Every time I power up the V500 it starts scanning and never stops — scan after scan after scan. There seems to be no way to control it and no uninstaller to get rid of it. Next time I’ll try another manufacturer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Instructions are Not Clear and Percise. Need More Step by Step info as for "VISTA" USERS.
I could Not find the set-up & Run for the Set Up CD.
I had to go into The Computer to Find DVD drive first. Instructions do not tell us this.

We Need This Easier for Folks like me that Have Issues understanding, or are Computer Illerate, in some Fields.
I can do My Books and that's it. Nothing Like this.

I feel these instructions are Wrote for Folks that have a lot of Computer Experience, Not the NOVICE, in computers. Like some of Us Seniors.
Make things Simple. We all LIKE SIMPLE NOT COMPLEX. I am ready to take it Back already.
Still might.
Thank You.
