Epson Perfection V500 Photo

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.

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.

New Zealand PC World Magazine > Epson Perfection V500 Photo scanner

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

All-in-One printer/scanner/copier machines are all the rage at present, especially if you're trying to run a home office or small business on a fairly limited budget. However, the frustration for dedicated amateur and semi-pro photographers is ...
