 Amazing product; impressive results May 22, 2010
lollygagger (Aspen, CO)
An amazing product, easy to use with impressive results. The ability to individual adjust the scanning properties of each slide/negative allows customization to yield excellent outcomes. Plus it is fast. More effort than sending your slides off to be processed, but a lot more control over the quality of the final product. Highly recommended.
 Not good- constantly warming up May 11, 2010
Tom (Honolulu)
Epson discontinued it's 1680 scanner and this seemed to be it's replacement. I'm not sure if the one I received was broken, but it stalled for 1 minute to "warm up" every time you changed between reflective to transmissive scan methods. The 1680 did not do this.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but my normal usage is to scan a document, then 1 or more associated transmissive images. This was a show stopper for me, so back it went.
great scanner May 7, 2010
Don T. Hun (Fullerton, CA USA)
Bottom line; I am not a professional photographer. I wanted a scanner to digitalize slides, photos, and negatives. The V500 seems to do that. I loaded the Silverfast dvd and it seems over my head at this time. Any enhancing of the photos I do with iPhoto and that seems to work at this time. Maybe in the future I will use Silverfast.
I have found that sometimes photos age better than negatives and slides.
I am having fun learning to digitalize.
The V700 is doing well by me. A good investment.
Excellent and Easy to Operate Tool May 7, 2010
Casey G. Jones (Plattsburgh, NY USA)
I recently bought an Epson V700, and have scanned over 1000 35mm negatives with it. It does an excellent job. It provides a really accurate image of the actual negative. The film tray is very easy to use. It is made of a sturdy plastic, and is very easy to load. I scan four strips at a time, each having approximately 4 or 5 negatives on them, so I usually get a total of 16 to 20 negatives scanned in each scanning session. I scan at 6400 ppi resolution, and save the file as a "tiff" file to avoid compression. I tried to scan at 6400 ppi to a jpeg file, but it would not do it at a 48 bit depth, so as I said I changed the setting to save as a "tiff" file and I get the full 48 bit depth. I have a Windows 7, 64 bit system, and it takes approximately 70 seconds per each negative to be scanned using the settings I already mentioned. I do not use the Ice or any other setting because I want the raw file, and the scanner does an excellent job of presenting detail and color. If you want to increase the color saturation at a later time, it does not come out fuzzy or anything, it just adds the color as needed. I am satisfied with the scanner, I feel that Epson is honest in saying it gives professional quality results. The dmax is 4 so it is a little more powerful than the V500, but the more detail it gives may be worth it. The Windows 7 drivers and manual are available on the Epson site, which I had to download for my system, and everything has been working fine. It is simple to operate, and gives very satisfying results. I compliment Epson on creating such a product.
 Good value High Learning Curve for a Post-Film Era Film Scanner April 12, 2010

As film has rapidly fallen into disfavor, film scanners have been more difficult to find. As a semi-professional photographer for over 15 years, I have thousands of 35mm transparencies that still have value as long as I can scan and digitize them in marketable quality.
Previously I owned two Konica-Minolta film scanners. They were small enough to fit unobtrusively in my workspace, and I loved their ease of use and intuitive software. However, since that company left the photography market several years ago, they no longer support their scanners, and the driver and other software is not compatible with Windows 7...meaning I was forced to find a new replacement. I was amazed by how few options there are. Nikon makes a scanner of small size but it retails for over $3000.
After some research this Epson Scanner looked like one of my only options. The price (~$700) was right, and I've always been a fan of other Epson products (esp. printers). Nevertheless this product has three drawbacks worth considering...
First, because it is a flatbed, it is ENORMOUS. Sure, I was aware of the dimensions when I ordered it, and sure, it will scan twelve slides at once, but I would gladly sacrifice the volume/productivity for a "feed-through" style scanner capable of producing high-quality scans while taking up a third of the worksspace of this scanner.
Second drawback is, again, that this is a flatbed scanner. My initial skepticism (that it would be able to produce sharp scans of high detail and good dynamic range) has passed, and the scans I have made so far are great. However, the flatbed itself is kind of a pain. The twelve-slide bracket snaps in to the roof of the scanner, and it a little bit of a pain. Also, b/c it is a flatbed, and there is a gap between the bed and the roof, I think this scanner will be prone to lots of dust and debris getting into it, and it will require frequent cleaning.
Finally, I'm (at least initially) impressed with neither the Epson driver/scanning software nor the "SilverFast" productivity software that came with the scanner. Neither are very intuitive, and while I'm learning to use it, and producing some good scans, there have been some tough times. Both of these programs are too loaded with featurs. I liked Konica Minolta's simple software which allowed the user to make some basic pre-scan/exposure corrections, befroe taking the images into Photoshop to do the heavy-duty post production work.
In general, it's too soon (only a month) for me to wholeheartedly endorse this scanner...but on the other hand, there are few affordable options that render similar marketable quality. I'll probably need to pick up the pace in the next few years and scan as many of my old slides as possible with this scanner, because I suspect film scanners will soon be very rare beasts.
