Epson Perfection V500 Photo

By M. David Stone (pcmag.com)

I don't generally use sports metaphors in reviews, but sometimes there's no better way to put it. A case in point is the Epson Perfection V500 Photo ($249.99 direct). Epson has knocked one out of the park with this scanner. It offers high-quality ...

High-quality scans for prints and film. LED light source eliminates warm-up time.

A little weak on office tasks, but that's the trade-off you get for its focus on photos.

The Epson Perfection V500 Photo is one of the most impressive scanners yet for the price, delivering high-quality, fast scans in fully automatic mode.

The Epson Perfection V500 Photo scanner is a new and sleek consumer-oriented model that handles reflective copy (prints) up to A4 size, and transparencies, including those old negatives and slides you have tucked away. It comes with software for ...

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Flatbed Scanner

By Mr_Bill03 (pcworld.com)

A fundamentally good product, marred, IMO, by the inclusion of unsupported, ancient software in the bundle. Scanner itself was easy to set up. Produces good quality scans. At 6400 dpi and 24 bit color, a 35mm slide takes about 2 minutes and produces a .jp...

good quality scans. Easy install (Mac OS X)

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Flatbed Scanner

By Nelson1961 (pcworld.com)

I bought it to scan old photos to share with family. Another scanner had proven unsatisfactory. This one has done a great job. Not having a printed instruction manual makes it awkward and difficult to learn. While the scanner does a great job in the Auto...

Epson Perfection V500 Photo Flatbed Scanner

By Pacman40 (pcworld.com)

Replaced old HP scanner. First Epson product - easy to sit up, very clean scans, good image quality. Does take a while to warm up and scan or copy - and is rather noisy - high pitch noise. But would recommend regardless of noise.

Clean image even if less than 8 1/2 x 11. Flexible lid to allow for books. Easy buttons on front. Will scan directly to PDF
