Pros Easy as pie to set up. Good support from Epson website.
Cons Slow speed, good but not great picture quality.
Recommended it? Yes

I "inherited" this scanner from my parents about six months ago. They didn't have any of the cables, installation disks, or instructions - just the scanner itself.

Setup
I was able to pick up the cables cheaply from a local Radio Shack and download the necessary programs and drivers... Read full review »

Pros good image quality and it has 35mm slide and negative carriers and a reasonable price
Cons short life
Recommended it? No

I bought this scanner over a year ago with the idea to scan colored slides and negatives. I tried it with a few slides and was satisfied with the results. Didn't get to that project yet and the scanner died last week after fewer than 75 scans under its belt. It lights up I haven't tried dealing... Read full review »

Pros AC powered. USB 2.0 bandwidth. Great software suite.
Cons A bit bulky, not too bad.
Recommended it? Yes

Howdy doody, folks. That's a question. You're supposed to answer (e.g. Great! Never Better! Been to hell and back!). Kidding. I'll get serious.

I bought this scanner about a month ago off Epson's clearance rack. For those who aren't familiar, Epson has a clearance store at their website... Read full review »

Scans like a pro, love the software options.

13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good software, excellent resolution, fast, clear crisp images.
Cons Scanner forces itself to scan even if locked. No physical guide for laying out film.
Recommended it? Yes

We purchased this scanner for my office a few weeks ago and when it came in I was really excited. We don't do a lot of scanning and the only reason we picked up a scanner this nice was because it was being covered by the university life cycle upgrade program.

The first thing I did was... Read full review »
