Super Fast

I really hadn't realized how much better scanners had gotten unitl I couldn't get a driver update for my old one. I loved it, but this is so much faster, with better imaging on every level. It's priced right for the home hobbiest, but gives results like much more expensive machines.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works excellent

Once I figured out how to scan negatives...it worked just great. I found the directions that came with the scanner very sparse and I had to look up information on the manual I downloaded onto the computer. Somewhat frustrating at first and I almost had to phone the support line, but with a little research in the manual I figured it out. Once I was able to scan the negatives I began playing around with the settings for quality. Still working on that but so far, I am very impressed with the quality from an old negative. It will be great to keep all my photos together in one place.

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner

Got this to finally scan the slides I took over 40 years ago. It works great!! I decided to remove the dust myself and use the automatic feature instead of the many options for improving the quality of the product. This way I can get them scanned more quickly and enhancing the results, if necessary, is something I can do with a photo editing program at my leisure. A great scanner for such a reasonable cost.

Doing great!

Have used this scanner to copy old color and older black and white photos. It has worked like a charm. Colors much better and details sharper than with the printer/scanner. A little Photoshop editing and prints ordered came out beautiful. Have many plans for scanning negatives and slides, when I get some time, and am hoping that they come out equally better than what I got with a regular separate slide/negative scanner. I don't know what the other Epson scanner models are like, but I've been really pleased with this V500.

I replaced my old Epson 1240U Photo with the V500 Photo because drivers are not available for Windows 7. Epson seems to be a bit slow releasing drivers for a new OS.
Anyway, I'm glad I bought the v500. I have, in the first day, scanned photo's and some old slides. The clarity is very good. The software recognizes the format of your scan object and you have to do nothing but click on scan. The scanner is very easy to use, fast and has great print quality. Software loaded without a problem. For the money, I would recommend the V500

Good Buy

Scanners have come a long ways over the years and Epson continues to provide excellent value.
The V500 Photo Scanner doesn't let you down. The software it comes with is easy to use and with the scanner, provides you with a scan your will be pleased with.
It's not lightning fast but that does not matter. I'm not churning out scans but have the occasional need during the week for a couple.
I've only run this for two days but so far have not found a hitch.

So far So good

Just got it out of the box but I have already gone through photo, transparency and negative scans and so far it looks like the cat's pajamas. I especially like being able to scan up to 4 slides or 12 negatives in one pass. A little disappointed that the Adobe software is out of date by two upgrades.
