Reviews around job (4.40 of 5)

  • Although this is not a pro-grade scanner it does a great job in scanning clean photos and documents.
  • Until now, we had a basic scanner that did a lousy job on old photos
  • Enhances color on faded pictures, does good job scanning slides.
  • This scanner did an excellent job with color slides that wee 70 years old
  • The V550 does a poor job of determining the correct frame edge if the negatives have a black background

Reviews around product (3.87 of 5)

  • How can I say this, but the glass is nothing more than a plan piece of cheap-o windowpane glass, not like the solid glass that Epson scanners used years previous, and the glass is not "smooth"
  • This is far too high-priced to be such an inferior product
  • Waste of money!In addition, I have spent countless hours on the phone with customer service representatives trying to troubleshoot to no avail and finally told that they can only honor the original warranty for the original defective product, despite the fact that the product that they sent to replace the defective one is now defective.
  • Construction is great; product worked with 64-bit Windows 10 Home with no problems
  • Overall great product, reliable, efficient and functions as advertised except have not tried Negatives Scanning, probably will never need.

Reviews around photo (3.63 of 5)

  • I had hundreds of slides, negatives & old photos to copy to computer and this scanner does it with ease
  • Does a great job of scanning as well as i was very impressed how well it restored a 20 year old photo
  • After reading some reviews, I chose to purchase this Epson Perfection Photo Scanner.
  • This one does a very nice job, and has the added benefit of being able to scan both photo negatives (remember those?) and slides
  • This is a nice scanner - I've been scanning 2 strips of 35mm color film at a time - but at least one random photo (and sometimes all) from each strip scans the "person's" eyes blotted out and it ruins the photo.

Reviews around scan (3.49 of 5)

  • Although this is not a pro-grade scanner it does a great job in scanning clean photos and documents.
  • The scanner does the job, the Digital ice for negatives seems to clean up the scans nicely
  • Great scanner, don't expect speed on the high resolution scans, but you will get a good scan and be able to get a larger print of a picture you have.
  • Scanned some 35mm on it at full resolution and the scans seemed dull, flat, almost down-right fuzzy.
  • I haven't started the negatives scanning yet so hope to find a technique of loading and unloading that will make it faster.

Reviews around color (3.48 of 5)

  • Color negatives take about 2-3 minutes each with the ICE dust remover, but it's worth it
  • Enhances color on faded pictures, does good job scanning slides.
  • This machine is a wonder - clear, great color from negatives and prints
  • How can I say this, but the glass is nothing more than a plan piece of cheap-o windowpane glass, not like the solid glass that Epson scanners used years previous, and the glass is not "smooth"
  • To conclude this, learn from me - DO A TEST SCAN IMMEDIATELY after getting it and look very carefully to see you don't get any strange colored lines in your photos.

Reviews around software (3.28 of 5)

  • Well, at this point, EPSON, your software is a lame, mostly worthless, POJ
  • Works great, software is easy to use, we can customize what types of photos wither its slide show photos or negatives that need to be scanned.
  • In both cases you can use the software dust removal which is fairly effective (3 levels low to high)USM
  • If Epson's software wasn't a pain to use, this would get five stars
  • Since my laptop doesn't have s CD/DVD drive, I downloaded the software straight from the Epson site, but it still doesn't work

Reviews around epson (3.25 of 5)

  • I had a less expensive Epson scanner and it did a fine job on regular size negatives and photos
  • How can I say this, but the glass is nothing more than a plan piece of cheap-o windowpane glass, not like the solid glass that Epson scanners used years previous, and the glass is not "smooth"
  • If you are in the market for a film/slide scanner and are undecided, I would recommend the Epson V550
  • Sorry Epson.. at least I can say the Hewlett Packard replaces their equipment immediately.. none of the song a dance.
  • I haven't called Epson (they'll probably blame me), but I am returning this unit for a Canon

Reviews around slide (2.12 of 5)

  • I've been using this scanner for about a month, scanning hundreds of 35mm negative strips, some 35mm positive slides, a few medium format negatives, and also some prints
  • It has frames for lining up negatives or slides to make copies of
  • I have now scanned, restored, and enhanced over 1,000 color slides that had been sitting in storage for over 30 years
  • I am enjoying scanning slides that are over 60 years old and I am amazed at how well they are turning out

Reviews around holder (1.95 of 5)

  • Unfortunately, most of my medium format negatives are cut to a non-standard size, so I improvised an additional holder using mat board, as recommended on one forum
  • The larger scanner comes with allegedly better software, greater capacity and more sophisticated holders but in the end, it is pretty much the same level of scan and the better holders are not really that much better
  • On the other hand, I can't believe how ineffective the negative holder for 35mm is
  • V550 is even better - Epson tweaked a lot of small things and the negative holders is much better than before.
  • The scanner comes with a negative holder attachment and the preview breaks out the pics into individual files with no problems

  • Took me a bit to figure out the scanning for negatives (not good instruction) but it works great!
  • I also had some old film that was not only dusty but scratched a bit

Reviews around mm (1.69 of 5)

  • Because there are no inexpensive scanners that scan 16mm movie film like they do with Super 8mm, I even bought an adapter to scan some 16mm movie reels and even though it was never designed for that type of film, it does a really good job of restoring the frames
  • I've had this scanner for a few months now and scanned about 200 35 mm slides and negatives
  • I only wish it had the capability of scanning more than two sets of 35mm negatives at a time.
  • Once a professional photographer, I have boxes of negatives and transparencies--both 35mm and
  • This is the best deal for your money, I am able to get usable scans from 35mm negatives.

  • , so I bought an Epson V550 Scanner, which can scan Medium Format negatives

  • Digital ICE for prints as well as for film (V550 only has the latter).

Reviews around size (1.33 of 5)

  • A secondary problem is that the software cannot properly 'size' the slides, and ends up cropping one or more edges of the slides.
  • Only one we could find for sale that promised to scan the 120 and 620 size negatives we had
  • I'm surprised they don't have a sort of generic holder for odd size negatives
  • Having difficulty figuring out how to scan the odd-sized slides/transparencies, but it's very nice that I can scan more than one slide at a time now
  • Scanning large negative film sizes worked by just laying the negative on the glass bed underneath the negative rectangular opening, 3.25"X10.5", that appears after you remove the document mat

Reviews around hour (1.00 of 5)

  • After the most aggravating hours of my entire life that I spent on the phone with Epson Technical Support (I still have a headache from it a day later), I sent an email to Epson email Technical Support and got the correct answer, go to "Configurations" and change film size
  • I wasted hours on hold while the people who I was talking to asked other people what to do
  • How can I say this, but the glass is nothing more than a plan piece of cheap-o windowpane glass, not like the solid glass that Epson scanners used years previous, and the glass is not "smooth"
  • Waste of money!In addition, I have spent countless hours on the phone with customer service representatives trying to troubleshoot to no avail and finally told that they can only honor the original warranty for the original defective product, despite the fact that the product that they sent to replace the defective one is now defective.
