So far so go. Haven't used it that much yet, but early results are very good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

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.

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.

A Belated Surprise!

I bought this scanner in 2006! But my Epson 1640 SU Photo scanner was working so well with my G4 powerbook that I continued using it and then exporting the photos with an external hard drive to my MacBook Pro and thence to Photoshop. Today, however, my e.h.d. would not show up on the desktop of my G4, so I regretfully unplugged the 1640 SU and brought out the V500 Photo and installed it directly into my MacBook Pro.
Although I was slightly annoyed that the new scanner would not launch directly to Adobe Photoshop, as the old one did, once I installed it and got it running, it took me about an hour to figure out the benefits of the new features (The hardest part was connecting the proper plugs and putting them into the proper holes on the scanner). The directions in the package were sketchy, but the online material is excellent.
The V500 Photo has made my life so much easier. It is extremely light, and it scans fast and clearly (it has an excellent unsharp mask), and is much simpler to use than the older version. I like the options to choose the dpi resolution. It's different than the old one, and (until I discover the method) I have to drag my photos into CS5, but the results are great! My next task is to figure out how to do slides (being used to the old Epson Twain, on which I must have scanned 1000 art history slides!). I'm looking forward to the discovery.
So far, the appropriately named Perfection V500 Photo scanner is living up to its name. In fact, I feel a bit silly for waiting so long to get it up and going!

Great product!

I decided to digitize all our family photos and was looking for a scanner. The V500 attracted my attention because it met the dpi and color depth requirements that I was looking for, and in addition, it offered photo restoration which I need for some of the older pictures. I am a complete novice when it comes to doing this, but the V500 has made it very easy, the restoration feature works great. I haven't used the transparency unit for slides and negatives yet, so I'm not sure how well they turn out. For the price, and the fact that it comes with Adobe Photoshop, this is a great scanner for home use.

I am a strong believer in Epson quality and have had many inkjet Epsom printers for outstanding photographic print quality. The Epson V500 LED scanner is another fine product from Epson and would recommend it to any.

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner

Have been impressed with the instructions and the simplicity of scanning. Have done 35mm slides, film and prints and all worked seamlessly -- the instructions were easy to understand and follow. Am really enjoying getting so many old, stored items up on the computer and much more available. The results thus far have been excellent.
