Good quality scans, software so so

The scans of slides and photos I am getting from this scanner are very good, but you have to work for them.
The buttons and features are what I need and I like having dedicated PDF button. I haven't scanned multiple page documents with the DF feature yet, so I can't say how well it works.
I have used Photoshop Elements for quite a while and it works well with the scanner, but the other scanner software supplied with the scanner isn't all that friendly. I have found that if I do not check file location each time I scan the files may end up in a file other than the one would like them to default to. Also, the software will not let you change the default scan name before you scan. Another thing is that this software is quirky and when it has a problem, which seems to happen rather frequently, I have to reboot the computer. Add this to the overall speed of the scanner at high resolutions and scanning a batch of slides or photos becomes a time consuming feat. If you use the ICE software it become glacial. The ICE software wells pretty well to correct photos, but it does slow down the scan considerably. It would be nice if the scanner was faster.
Overall looking at the market for scanners in this price range I think this is about as good as it gets. I think it is a good scanner limited by the Epson software. Hoefully Epson will put out some updates to make their interface software more flexible and dependible.

Have been using this product for several months and I am very impressed with the results. The software interface is easily understood and makes it very easy to change settings. I would recommend this product to any one and especialy if you want to change 35m pic's. or negatives into digital pic's.

Excellent Scanner

After a few weeks of online comparison I settled on this little beauty. At the highest Resolution it takes a few minuits to scan 1 picture but at 600 dpi you can get a photo scan in under 15 seconds. Quality is superb, the included software is good for a beginner but combined with something more advance (in my case Corel Photo-paint) you can really bring pictures to life and reveal dazzling detail and color. I use it for desktop publishing and have absolutely no complaints. Note there IS an ON/OFF switch.

Really Surprised

Out of the box greatness. Needed to scan some 40 year old pictures and bring them back to life. This scanner and the software provided did an excellent job. Also used it on some very old slides and again it performed beyond my expectations.
I looked and researched scanners to restore and scan pictures and slides and all I can say is....Thanks Epson you saved the day.

The v600 performs well with medium format negs & slide films. Easy setup with OS widows 7 pro. Did not use the abobe elements 9 software that was provided. Instead I used adobe lightroom. This scanner is really a good buy for a flatbed.

Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner

A great scanner for the price!
The only negatives are the lack of higher quality film holders and a case to put the holders in for storage. At the very least Epson could offer a case for the film holders as an option.
Also the user's guide is only available in .html format with no PDF user's guide available. At least EPSON could have a PDF guide available for downloading.
Finally, EPSON could offer more frequent updates of the included software on its website.

Having been the proud owner of a V600 for one week and really running it through its paces, I am satisfied. The main reason I bought it, photo negs, slides, film material,the V600 handles fairly well. My only criticism IS the very tacky way EPSON has designed the so-called "slide" holder. With every change of slides YOU HAVE TO touch the glass, that won't fly. Seems to me EPSON could have come up with a better design for the holder and the plastic is cheap, destined to eventually break

Excellant photo scanner

I purchased this Epson 600 to scan many older photos that were taken before digital. Many are starting to fade and I wanted to preserve them for future generations. Many of the photos were scanned on auto and they turned out very good. Only two had to be redone manually to capture them correctly. The speed is moderate and it is several times faster than my old one. You can do several photos at once and it will single out each one as long as you leave a space between each. This has been a good addition for me. I can't comment on a film or slide scan as I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
