C'mon Epson

At this price point, the Epson V550 is hard to beat. It's easy to scan any size negative using the software to adjust size, and the quality of both film and scanned images is great. However, like another review discussed, the lack of quality control in this product is unacceptable. I've purchased a total of four of these scanners from Best Buy. I owned the first for about four months, scanned hundreds of slides and negatives, and about a thousand prints. Worked flawlessly with APS and produced a great finished product. My mom needed a scanner so I gave her mine with the intention of just buying another of the same model. And so the drama begins. Each one of the other three scanners had dust under the scanner bed. Yep, all three. Once you open the scanner lid and hit "preview" while in EPSON Scan, the light moves down and back up the scanner bed and one is clearly able to see all the specs of dust under the glass. On all three scanners, most of the debris was up at the top. I'm scanning too many negatives and photos to simply edit out the specs. Oh, and let us not forget, these were all right out of the box. Seriously, Epson, three scanners. Frankly, I'm willing to bet there are many who own this scanner who may have not noticed the issue. There are too many reviews on other websites for Epson not to acknowledge this quality control problem. If you are one of the lucky ones who were able to get your hands on a scanner that didn't suffer these issues, you have a great piece of equipment.
