Setup problems
on April 3, 2016

Product works great now that I have the correct driver. I could not get the software to set up properly with the included CD. Also tried downloading from the Epson website and that did not work either. However, when I contacted the help desk at Epson they promptly set me a driver that did work. Have scanned over 200 35 mm slides already and am pleased with results and the interface. I am running Windows 8.1.

V600 Photo Scanner - really nice for the price

If you don't need to scan negatives bigger than medium format, this is a great option, that also will scan normal sized paper documents.
The scanning resolution is good enough to get down to the grain size on my 120 size negatives, no need for better resolution.
The accompanying software is not well documented by my standards, but is easy enough to figure out.
As supplied, this unit can scan 35mm film, slides in 2x2 mounts, and 120 or 220 film. The stock film holders are usable, but I find them finicky, and need to be used carefully to get the film flat.
Each film holder has a pattern of tiny holes at a specific position to tell the scanner & software what sort of film is being scanned, which is great for normal film sizes. Odd frame sizes on normal film widths have not been hard to adjust to.
Odd size negatives on odd size film are a bit of a challenge.
I sometimes have sheet film negatives that are small enough to be illuminated by the scanner, but so far I have not figured out how to do this conveniently. The scanner will scan a wider neg than the neg holders will allow.
A generic film holder "cheater" which would tell the scanner that there is a random sized negative or transparency on the platen, and provide an outline within which the odd size neg needs to be placed, would be great to have. If you shoot "instant" film, then reclaim the negatives, this scanner is a great way to make prints and digital records, but you might lose some neg area if you shoot 4x5.
It would be nice if it was supplied with a holder for 127, 126, 828, 116 and other roll films too - there are plenty of old negatives from these old cameras that need scanning.
The next model up, which will do negatives up to and a little over 8x10 inches, is currently 3x the cost of the V600 - since I hardly ever touch a view camera these days, there was no need to spend the extra money.
Overall, it's a great tool, and most creative amateur photographers shooting 35mm or medium format should not be limited by the V600's capability.

Epson to the rescue
on April 30, 2016

My trusty old Epson scanner suddenly gave up the ghost after more than 7 years just as a large scanning project was to begin. My new V600 stepped right in. The new software was very similar to my previous version, so there was a minimal learning curve. The scanner lid is 90-degrees from the previious one, giving me more open desk space and bringing the onboard controls closer. The only downside is common to most every scanner of this size, a recessed glass scanning surface. Many times I get early 1900's mounted photographs that are larger than the bed size. This requires multiple scans of a slightly bent object and time spent putting the pieces together. If absolute sharpness is not necessary, the glass from my old scanner comes to the rescue. Wish there was a 4.5 rating!!

very satisfied

I bought my scanner about two years ago, when I started a project to scan all of my parent's slides and photos. Most of the slides were ektachrome and the colors had changed over time. I used the "ice" settings to renew the color. It did a fantastic Job!
Over-all, I scanned over 7000 slides and photos, the collection spanned well over 60 years.

Almost Pefection

Great scanner! Little pricey considering the glass screen size is 8.5 by 12. Standard Art pads are 9 x 12. Scanning sixty four 9 x 12 illustrations is going to be a challenge.
I would have 5 star this had the glass screen size been a little larger. I cant afford $2000 for a scanner and my work is in art pads, not removable. Cater to the artists!

Just got my V600 Photo Scanner today. Fairly easy to set up, but would really like to have a physical User's Guide in my hands and not on my laptop.
