I bought this scanner to use for a biographical and history project. I wanted to make archival quality scans of photos and documents with historical significance. It has been easy to use and reliable.
Epson Scanner, some problems, but very pleased overall. January 7, 2009

I purchase this mainly to scan negatives. I did a lot of research on this scanner prior to purchasing. One problem I've had so far is a conflict between my other Epson all-n-one. (I have never had any real problems w/Epson products) However, after contacting tech support the problem was solved very quickly. The machine itself appears to be well built except for the slide/negative holders that are very flimsy and not real user friendly. However, the results from the scanner w/the negatives are excellent. The scanner is much faster than my previous scanner. So all in all I give the scanner very good marks.
 Digital Ice = Magic! January 7, 2009
For those that prefer a short review, just read the first paragraph.
I have always been pleased with Epson's printers, so I decided to trust them with their scanner technology. The Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner exceeds my expectations and needs. Well worth the $199 price tag.
Ten years ago, my father gave me some 200 slides he shot while serving in Vietnam. He was going to throw them away! I took them, and decided to scan them all to preserve them digitally. The technology back in 1998 was not great. I gave up, as the slides were covered in hair and dirt and my attempts at cleaning the slides failed. In addition, I later became custodian of hundreds of family slides.
Ten years later (2008), I do research into getting these slides professionally scanned, and come to the conclusion that it will cost me thousands of dollars to have the slides professionally restored and digitized. I decide to start looking at buying a scanner and see, through reviews like this, that others faced the same challenge.
After reading the reviews for this Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner, I figured that $199 was not much of a risk.
Last night I scanned some very filthy slides. To my utter amazement, the Digital Ice technology worked like magic!!! The dirt and hair disappeared! I work in the technology field, I understand how this stuff works, but it still blew me away, it really works!!!
*** This will not clean up prints!!! Only slides!!! ***
I have saved myself at least $2,000. Not to mention I do not have to give precious slides over to strangers, hoping they don't destroy them by accident.
This scanner is worth the $199 as a normal scanner, it can scan up to 12,800 DPI. But for anyone that needs to scan old slides, ones that need some serious cleaning, this scanner is money-in-the-bank!
 Good Scanner but Beware Software!! January 6, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just puchased this scanner and over the New Year's holiday, while watching bowl games, scanned over 700 negatives into computer. The LED lighting is what makes this a relatively fast consumer-grade scanner. I installed it on Windows Vista x64 with no trouble and got it working right away, BUT the included Adobe Photoshop Elements v4.0 softwre would not install. WHY is Epson saying this is Vista-compatible when a vital piece of software, and one of the reasons for buying this "package", will not work?? I contacted Epson, who told me to contact Adobe. I called Adobe and finally talked to a Customer Service Supervisor ("Alan" in India) who stated "Adobe does not support Photoshop Elements ver 4.0 that is bundled with the Epson V500 Scanner. We recommend that you purchase a retail version of Photoshop Elements." How is that for bait-and-switch?
This product scenario seems ripe to me for a class-action lawsuit that all software makers should worry about - Selling outdated software with your product and claiming false compatibility, all to get the end-user to spend more money. I am going to file a formal complaint with both my State Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission about this product against Epson. I would also be happy to take the lead in a class-action lawsuit as the principal aggreved party.
A fantastic machine January 6, 2009

The learning curve is fast and this offers many features that are very impressive. As for color negatives, there is no settings for type or nature of the film and it scans them as well as any other machine that I have used. Quick and simple to use as a film scanner as well as a PDF scanner and other functions. The only limit is that it scans only 35mm or 120 film sizes.
