Perfection
on May 14, 2010

The “Epson Perfection® V500 Photo” is great. The tray that holds the negatives is the best of all. I have over 50 years of photos which I am digitizing into ‘jepg’ files. With the old scanner I had to remove the photo from the photo album and place it on the scanner. With the tray I can scan 8 to 10 negatives at one time. With over 50 years of photos, I should be able to complete this project much faster. Question for y’all, if I break the tray, can I buy another??

Being a beginner with film scanners and only marginally more with computers,I was pleased that I could setup and use it as quickly as I did (30-40mins. I guess). I really love this thing. It's really cool to see images I hadn't seen in years pop up on the screen.Some slides I've never seen. I can't wait to get to the neg's.! I do wish it had 4x5 capability though but that's a whole 'nother animal. Oh well,GREAT JOB GUYS.

Great slide scanner

For the do-it-yourself types, this is a great slide scanner for home use. Yes, at the high quality setting, it takes a couple of minutes per slide, but it scanned and cleaned up my 50 year old slides just great. The biggest drawback is that there is no manual. It is only available on-line and you can't print it out.

Excellent Scanner for the Money
on May 19, 2010

Provides a very wide range of densities, from the usual 300 (or lower) to 6400 dpi, allowing for "quickie" rough-draft scans as well as high detail for later blow-up use. Handles scanning of lumpy 3-D objects quite well, like an illustration on page 200 of a 300-page book. The only "con" I've found so far is that it's slow (scan times of 4-5 minutes are usual for high density images). Comes with a free CD of Adobe Photoshop, which is a good thing if you have a Mac with iPhoto (which can't handle high-density images). NOTE: software for the V500 must be downloaded from the Epson website, if you have a Mac, but download and installation is quick and easy.

Great Product!

I purchased this unit for the purpose of scanning tons of old photos and negatives into digital format. I wanted a scanner that would give exceptional results and one that would work well with my new 27" iMac. After doing some research and comparing this scanner with other brands, I decided to purchase this one. What great choice! I am very pleased with its ease of use, exceptional scanning qualities, and with the software that came bundled with it. It does a fantastic job with my color negatives and color slides. The warm up time is extremely fast which means less wasted time. Set was a piece of cake and the fact that it's wireless is a real plus. The price is quite reasonable and I would definitely recommend this scanner to my friends.

Worthwhile Purchase

I purchased the V500 Photo scanner because I wanted to be able to digitize transparencies. I have had great success doing so. The Dry Ice software will remove many of the problems that the normal clean up software will not. My only disappointment is the time it takes to create the scans. The scanner will only do 4 at a time and I have many, many slides to convert. Typical scanning of reflective art, copy, and photographs works fine. I do like the fact that I can scan in pdf format. Although warned by the instructions not to load the CD if I had Windows 7 I did in error and it took a MIS guy at work to go into the Registry to be able to get it out so I could download the appropriate driver from the Epson site.

I have used the scanner to copy photo's of my grandchildren and am exceptionally pleased with the way they came out. I also tried several 35mm slides from the 50's and they came out great!
