Epson Perfection V600 Photo

 

You can usually count on Epson scanners to deliver better than average bang for the buck. The Epson Perfection V600 Photo ($249.99 direct, covered by a standard 1-year parts and labor warranty) is no exception.

High-quality scans. Fully automatic mode for easy scanning. Scans both 35mm and medium-format film

Scans only four 35mm slides at a time. Weak on office tasks

The Epson Perfection V600 Photo offers high-quality scans for prints and both 35mm and medium-format film, plus an exceptionally easy-to-use scan utility.

Review: Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner

 

Answers the need for professional scanning at reasonable price.

Nice build quality ; Easy to set up ; Automated front buttons ; OCR and photo editing software included ; Can use any scanning software

EPSON Scan does not yield the best scans ; Must spend money on better scan software for best results

I developed an interest in our family's photo history a few years back, so while my sister works in Ancestry and Geni.com to put the jigsaw puzzle of our family together, I supply the photos, when available. Now, this is no easy task, because no on

Hi quality scans, manages to get a lot of detail of of transparencies with low density ; Practical machine. easy to use. ICE works fine if you not fussy. Under half the price of the V700 although the v700 is in a different league for the very fussy

Got an issue with medium format, as it puts a line through and half the image has a different density. Currently talking with Epson technicians for a solution. Maybe there is a few duds out there. Film holders are flimsy for such a sturdy scanner
