perfect results

exceptional quality in converting old 35mm slides to jpg files for digital use. Quick start guide could be more informative. Still needed the full length instructions but didn't know that they contained the key info to use the slide convertor until I opened them and read carefully.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very happy with the machine

My intention when buying this scanner was to digitise all of my old photographs and slides, which I have started with great effect. I am very pleased with the results and the software that came with it is just what I needed.
I one thing that I was not too happy with is the dirty finger marks on the underside of the scan table glass, you only notice then when the light is on, so far they have not had any impact on the scan results

Everything I expected (and more)

I read lots of reviews and four things were consistent in most of the reviews. They felt that:
(1): Quality of scans is terrific.
(2): Software is clumsy.
(3): Installation can be a hassle.
(4): Slide holder is too flimsy.
(2): Software is clumsy.
(3): Installation can be a hassle.
(4): Slide holder is too flimsy.
As for #1, I agree completely. Quality is superb, including scans of positive and negative films and slides.
#2, I disagree. I find the scanning software straightforward and easy to use. No complaints there.
#3, I disagree. Installation was a breeze. I took the precaution of first downloading the latest drivers from Epson BEFORE trying to use anything. I installed the included Epson software from disk, then installed the updated drivers. Finally (following the instructions) hooked up the scanner. No hiccups. Perfect results.
#4, Maybe. The slide holder is still on the flimsy side, though it differs from descriptions I read in reviews. The holder lays on the glass and you drop slides into it. This seems to be a re-design and is welcome. I see little chance of breakage with this design short of sitting on it.
so ... I give this scanner high marks on all counts. I've tried lots of gadgets and scanners for copying slides (including the useless devices that take photos of the slides) and nothing in this price range comes close.

This is an excellent and easy to use scanner.
But the top comes off easily and I would like ot know if I can purchase just the top feeder and replace it.

I've only had this product for a few hours and just got it installed. The installation was very easy and Epson recognized my Paper Port software which was a very big concern for me. So far everything seems to be working but haven't had a chance to test it in detail.

So far so go. Haven't used it that much yet, but early results are very good.

Happy with the results even with older negatives. Did find the product slow to scan especially with scanning a large number of negatives. Scanned pictures turned out great too but not so pleased with the results it produced with slides although I didn't spend a lot of time with that option. I prefer to use my own editing program after scanning as I found trying to edit with the scanner features a waste of time as I still ended up editing them further to get the results I was wanting with my own editing program.

V500

The V500 does an excelent job. It is able to scan jewelry by being able to focus a reasonable distance above the glass. The scanner driver gives good control over scan and pixel settings.
