Product for the last generation

If you have only Windows 10, forget it - not supported. You can download the driver from the web site, but it does not include ArcSoft PhotoStudio. The included CD fails on Windows 10, and you have to manage to find a machine that actually has a CD ROM.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great, just a few things though...

Fairly easy to set up. At first I was a little frustrated but found the software disk in the packaging and eventually found the ON/OFF button on the right side toward the back. The power button should be on the front, guys! I have been using this to digitize old family slides. It only goes to 1200 DPI which is a little shy of the recommended 2000 DPI but should suffice for my purposes. Epson makes very nice scanners for the home user. The weak link in this process is how much time you spend dusting / cleaning the slides before you scan. I like using the mask to scan four slides at once. Have not used the automatic "cleanup" features but put to good use the version of photoshop that came with it. Overall, a near perfect combination of quality and functionality for the home user. About the best you can do for the money. By the way, this is a replacement for a 12 year old Epson scanner that still works, just became obsolete with change to Windows 7, etc.
I would recommend this to a friend!

USELESS SOFTWARE
on December 8, 2015
Posted by: MidwestHostage

I consider this as Epson selling a defective product since the software does not work with the current Apple operating system. The LEAST they could do is easily make you aware of this and their "workaround" with Image Capture. Instead you may end up like me, wasting a bunch of time reinstalling the software etc, calling Apple support, only to find out the problem isn't me or my computer at all. Even though I suppose in the future updates may fix this, (who knows?) I'm very disappointed.

Nice but slow when using ICE. Had hoped that it would be faster. Slides do not get color adjusted like I thought they would. Overall good scanner but needs some work on software.

Love our Epson Perfection V600 Scanner!!!
on May 5, 2015

We just received this scanner today and it was an easy setup to connect to our laptop and the software installed with no problems and is user friendly. It is lightweight and does not take up a lot of space. We followed the quick easy instructions to test all of the functions, such as scanning images, negative slides and film, enlargements, etc. and are very pleased with the results.
We have a 40 plus year collection of negative slides and film, which we will be scanning and will use it for large format scanning, desktop publishing, etc.
The v600 scanner provides the technology for us to use in our home and is an upgrade for us, so that we don't always have to pay for a professional to do the job. We are absolutely pleased with our purchase and highly recommend this product. We give a 5 plus star rating!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Color "okay", capture entire original, not OK
on October 15, 2012
Posted by: Nelly W

When I put any photo up against the inner plastic frame and scan as suggested, as others have said it definitely does cut off a few pixels lengthwise on those two sides. Might not matter so much for someone who doesn't have 100+ y/o photos. Someone (somewhere) suggested using thick painter's tape to keep the photos from butting up too closely to the edges. Tedious, however it's handled.
Color repro (with no retouching) is "okay", but not 100% accurate.
Also, better software should include the option how to name/rename the file before/during scanning; and due to the numerous "wrong" scannings (and other issues) would be very helpful to know how the last file was named, also.

Be Aware This Scanner Will Not Scan Contact Sheets
on February 16, 2015
Posted by: Anonymous
from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Does an excellent job scanning transparencies and negatives but transparency light in lid is only 2.9'' X 9.5". You can not scan full 8" X 10" contact sheets with this scanner, you must upgrade to the V700 to be able to do that. I didn't catch this in the specifications before i bought it and ended up giving it away and buying the V700. Disappointing... my old Epson Perfection 4990 Photo scanned 8" X 10" transparencies and negatives before its belt mechanism broke.
