Epson Perfection V700 photo scanner

 

The V700 improves upon its popular predecessor, the Perfection 4990 Pro , not to mention that it beats that model's price by about $50. You might also notice, however, that its design radically differs from last year's models; a switch from all rounded...

Speedy; full-featured hardware and software; FireWire and USB 2.0 connections.

No automatic document feeder option; large; a bit loud; driver has some annoying interface quirks; frequently pauses in midscan to warm up.

The Epson Perfection V700 Photo makes an excellent choice for a deep-pocketed photo hobbyist or a pro who needs to scan originals in a mixture of sizes.

Epson V700 Scanner -- Top of the Line

 

We've been working with an Epson V700 in the bunker since July of last year, thanks to a quite generous loan from the company. Its distinctive dark gray and silver squared-off design takes up a corner of our large equipment table, connected to our main...

Our experience with the Epson Perfection V700 has been a happy one. It's fast. But it also delivers one of the highest quality captures we've seen in a flatbed. Sharp with good color.

The Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner is a fine choice for those looking for a mid-range scanner for both photos and high-resolution transparencies.

Colors in images skew toward red

The silver and black V700 scanneris a few inches taller than most desktop, flatbed scanners, and it has a boxy, angular design when compared to the rounded corners of most scanners. It can connect to your Mac via USB 2.0 or FireWire, but we used...
