A Bit Better Than a Basic Photo Scanner
on August 30, 2017
Posted by: Fleetcap
from Minnesota
I bought this photo scanner to digitize 35mm slides going back to the 1960s. There is a definite learning curve with the V600...and the directions provided are a bit hard to decipher. Nonetheless, was pleased with the quality of the images that the scanner produces. I figure that the cycle time for copying four 35mm images is about six minutes from the time one set of slides is installed and the next set of four is ready to be copied. I would say that is an acceptable production rate but I would be happier if the process was faster.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good and bad things about this scanner
on August 31, 2017
Posted by: Chiefew
from Texas, United States
I am happy with the quality of scans. The one thing that bothers me is every other scan comes out in this small format then I have to re-scan to get a full image. I have brought both images into light-room. The smaller version loses quality over the larger version. Is there anything I can do???

Frustration
on November 2, 2017
Posted by: Glimpy
from Millcreek, Utah, United States
There is no driver to allow it to work on Windows 10. We found a driver for the model 550 and it works with that driver but I purchased a 600 and would like all the features I paid for. If not for this frustrating problem I would have given it at least 4 stars.

Works as Advertised

I have been looking for a scanner which can do slides, negatives, photos, and documents . . . EASILY! So far I've done over 1,000 slides (some of which are almost 50 years old) and negatives without a hitch. Color correction is pretty good; however, with software on my computer the final result is very good. The additional software allows me to correct spots, creases, and defects. I have a long, long way to go; however, I am confident that I'll get through the whole process without problems. One thing: You have to be patient as this is not the fastest process. The scanner will do four slides at a time which takes a minute or two. I settled on the 600 dpi resolution which gives me a photo from 1.5-3.0 MB which is about the same size taken by a good digital camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrific scanner
on December 4, 2017
Posted by: Steve2
from near Glacier National Park
I purchased this scanner to scan slides from 40-50 years ago. I have used Epson scanners before in other settings, but never owned one myself.
I am thrilled to finally own one that I can use at any time!
The scanner processes four slides at a time. This takes a little time to go through an 80-slide carousel, but it's well worth the wait. I have not used all of the features of this scanner, but other reviews indicate that the other features are very useful.
Epson makes a fine product, one that I would highly recommend.

Easy and fast

Purchased this scanner based on reviews and I have been very pleased. Mostly I need to copy slides, and the V600 will do 4 of them at a time, but it creates a separate record for each one. Color quality is excellent and I have not needed to clean them up. I have also scanned some photos, both color and black & white. Both have scanned well, though I was a little surprised that the black & white photos copied very well in the Home mode, using the "greyscale" setting, instead of the "black & white" setting. Some photos needed adjustment, and the Home mode worked very nicely. Also, some of the old color photos needed correction and cropping, but the "Professional" mode gave me choices that cleaned and improved the photos very well. I can fill the scanning surface with several photos, keeping a space between them, and once again, each photo creates a separate file, even though several are on the scanner surface at the same time. This makes the scanning go quickly.
I highly recommend the V600 if you want excellent results and the ability to correct flaws on your photos. I have not yet used the scanner for negatives, but expect to see excellent results, based on the quality I've seen so far.

Great scanner for the price
on February 19, 2018
Posted by: ZigTX
from Richardson, TX, USA
I bought this scanner about 2 years ago and have used it heavily doing over 8,000 film scans (mostly 35mm negatives). For the price, I was extremely pleased with this product - I did need to get it replaced at almost a year, but it was under warranty (it was getting a green/red line down each scan). The refurbished one they sent me worked great for about a year and has now started to act up a little. I'm guessing I've probably have used this product more than most people would and not overly upset on this at the price point. Hence the 4 versus 5 stars.
The first thing to learn is to REMOVE the panel on the top cover (it slides off) if you want to scan negatives - the instructions were not very clear on this, but I quickly figured this out.
The ICE for scratch and dust works well - I still spray my film with compressed air before putting it on the flatbed.
The other thing I wish they would have included in the instructions were looking for "Newton Rings" that might show up on some of the scans. At first I thought they were finger prints, but later researched it and it has something to do with the curve of some of the negatives. There are some ways to correct this - the easiest way that I found worked ok was putting the negatives in upside down in the holder (then inverting the picture using the S/W).
I would recommend this to a friend!

MISSING NEGATIVE HOLDERS FROM MANUFACTURER PACKAGING
on August 30, 2018
Posted by: Dean696969
from Ohio
Bought this from my local photo retailer. Got a decent price, was excited to scan a bunch of 120. Open the box, set it all up - missing the negative holders! The one thing that makes it useful as a film scanner, and it's not there. Retailer didn't have any other V600's as they're on back order, and it will take at least a week to get negative holders shipped. Overall really unsatisfied, but I still can't speak for the quality of the scanner, since, you know, I can't really use it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
