Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worst Support Ever Got great reviews so I tried twice. Support staff does not speak English well and could not understand. Could never get to connect with Windows 11. Horrible experience. I did not feel like a VIP as Shaq promised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Quality! Lasts for Years! I have been using this scanner for years and love it! It is excellent quality! My father has a lot of 35mm slides and I love that I can scan 35mm slides and negatives in addition to the photos.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Was excited, but now just disappointed. Just purchased this as an upgrade from an Epson Perfection V300 Photo Scanner. Was looking forward to getting it, but upon it's arrival, it's DOA right out of the box. As soon as I put the power to it, and plug it into the USB port, I get a flashing Orange Error Light. I'm getting the unit replaced, and am hoping the next one works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Going on a third hardware failure straight out of the box. Cheaply made! I was eager to try this based on reviews form artists but Ive now purchased and returned two for blinking error lights straight out the box. Pieces broken inside and that was a sealed box and unit so they are either being damaged in warehouses or during shipment. I see tons of reviews showing this issue and epson support just says return it and get another! How many consumers have they scammed out of money for these? No mention of an unlock lid in unbox/setup instructions. If there are this many defective why have these not been recalled/removed from shelves?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Scanner that delivers quality scans. I have 2 of the V600 Perfection Photo Scanners and both work very well. Setup is easy right out of the box. I use these primarily for photo print scanning and found that they deliver excellent results. I previously owned the older V500 models as well. The V600 is a very affordable quality scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It was a great scanner, but then Windows 11 happened! Awesome scanner unless your computer is Windows 11. Between Windows and Epson, no one can get the scanner app work consistently. So this awesome scanner is crippled by a dysfunctional app. There are some generic apps that allow basic scanning, but this apps don't support negatives and slides. Also, the basic apps don't have the necessary tools to clean up images, slides and scanners.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Scans This scanner is a staple in my photography retouching business. I'm able to scan 35mm film and medium format film perfectly. Also, retouching those old family photos has never been easier. I would recommend this to any photographer shooting film.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null No problems with alternate downloaded driver to use with my OS, photo and graphic scans are fine, but I ran into difficulty when switching from photo scans to slide scans, unable to reset the scan mode to 'positive film' as needed when I opened my scanner from my laptop. Very frustrating!! I've not yet solved the problem. This may not have been the best choice of scanners to meet my multiple needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very good I purchased the V600 because I have over 1800 slides from my parents I wanted to digitize. Some of these slides are over 60 years old. Most of these are medium 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 slides. The scanner did a great job, however it was not always accurate in its automatic detection when I put 3 slides in the holder. I ended up mostly putting just two slides in the holder at a time with side separation. I also had some 35mm slides and it did a great job on those, no issues. Other than the color correction which did a great job as many slides had faded, I did not use any of the other "correction" features the scanner offers. I may go back and rescan some pictures if I determine I might get a better scan using of the machine's technology, but I have not tried that yet. For medium format slides I can't imagine anything beating this machine.

Using The scanner in a 64bit system does not work with Photoshop [including the recommended driver(s) on Epson's web site] As much as I can determine from Adobe. Photoshop is looking for a TWAIN driver. The WIA option is clumsy and wont support transparencies.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Workhorse I bought the V600 about a year ago. I am retired military and have since scanned 1000's of 35mm slides, prints and print negatives of my military career and family photos. I am close to 10,000 total scans now. I absolutely love the Elelments 9 software that came with it and I "tweak" each scan with the software and have a retired military list and also family list I email the finished scans too. I have gotten 100's of comments about how good my scaned pictures look. The scanned pictures have given a lot of joy to all my friends and family (and me) over the past year. This is an awesome piece of equipment and is still going strong. I am so glad I bought it. Thanks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Photo Scanner I have been using this scanner for almost a year and love it. Since I purchased it, I have scanned over 5,000 photographs, slides and negatives. Other than the fact that I have to load the pictures manually into the scanner (which you have to do in almost all of them) it is simple to use. I do have one complaint though and that is the fact the scanner does NOT have a carriage to hold 110 photo negatives for scanning. That is one drawback I am trying to solve as I have over 500 strips of 110 negatives to scan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good scans despite outdated software Don't buy this scanner for speed. It isn't. Buy it if you are looking for quality scans at a reasonable price. This it delivers. While the included software does a decent job of photo restoration (color, fading), overall, the software is outdated and lacking; after my first day I purchased third party software. Which I don't think you should have to do at this price level. That being said, the v600 is well designed with thoughtful button placement, quiet operation (relatively speaking) and solid construction; the glass underside has, so far, stayed clean of airborne dust and such. How are the scans, you ask? IMO, above the average for it's price-point.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from v600 Photo scanner Great scanner bad film holders. The software is OK but I have not tried anything very complicated with it. The film holders are nearly useless. The 35mm are hard to load if there is any curl in the negatives. Sanning a single 35mm photo negative is impossible. It would be great if they added something to match the 35mm sprocket holes. The other negative holder fits only one negative dimension. It is for 2 1/4 wide negatives. It just barely holds the negative. There is nothing for 126 film negatives. It would be nice if they would provide a holder with a variable width function. I have not tried the slide functions. I purchased the scanner to print some old photos that have been lost. I will be only able to capture 25% of them. I would return the scanner if it were possible

The ease of creating multiple page PDF files made my task easy. It is also a snap to digitize photos and slides. All the user has to do is push a button on front of the device and then be prepared to manage all of your important life documents and pictures. A great tool to use to pass your memories down to future generations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 In June 2012 I searched multiple vendors for a photographic slide scanner since I have a very large collections of slides. I found that the Epson V600 was what I was looking for. I then read all reviews available at that time for the V600 and then ordered the scanner. I received the V600 and found setting it up was not a problem. The size is perfect for my computer desk along with my Epson NX430 printer. Due to medical problems I was not able to start using the V600 for a few months. When I started using I found that the time scanning slides, negatives and prints was acceptable. I also found that the quality of some of my older prints were better after scanning then the prints themself. I have also used the V600 to scan prints and documents from textbooks to assist my daughter with her college courses. I am very pleased with the scanner and its’ performance.

I had it about a month now, and last time I used it started getting errors. A particular picture wouldn't scan properly (it was attempting to scan portrait when it was a landscape).

After you have a system down pat your speed picks up as how many can be scanned. Easy to bring back into standard condition. I have 3,000 slide taken in 1956 to 1980 and I was happy to find a reasonably price scanner that I can used for other projects. I also have a Epson Styllus Photo R220 that goes well with the V600.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner! I bought the Epson Perfection V600 scanner primarily to scan my wedding photos on medium format negatives. I figured that its purchase price, I would actually save money if I had sent it out to be scanned. The instructions were not that clear as far as setting up the scan, but after I figured not to try a set group scan, I was able to start my first scan and it went easily after that. I was able to play around with the ICE function to get an initial touch up of damaged photos and was amazed at how much it fixed up the photo. I have to try the the 35mm negatives and slides still, but since I have the experience with medium format, it shouldn't be a problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fine home flatbed scanner I bought the scanner for home photo scanning, and it has provided excellent performance: excellent and consistent color and resolution, reasonable speed, and useful (if dated) software. It's compatible with third-party software. The hardware-enhanced DIGITAL ICE for dust removal, even on prints, usually eliminates having to manually touch up the images for spots or scratches if I'm careful to keep the glass and the source image fairly clean. While I bought it for prints, it also does well with negatives and slides in small batches, producing clean scans and (if I'm not in a hurry) images with resolution often limited by the film grain.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Scanner This scanner is great. I had many trays of 35mm slides dating back to 1958 and needed to get them onto my laptop. I scanned 5,782 slides with no trouble and I was pleased with the speed. I then scanned a large number of 35mm negatives. I am now in the process of scanning all of my prints. Getting all of these photos on my laptop has allowed me to organize them into easily accessible files to print or share with my children and grandchildren. This scanner was one of my all time best buys.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice little scanner I bought this scanner primarily to scan medium format film, and it does a great job of that. The only issue that I have is that almost everything I scan is black and white film, and the DIGITAL ICE software doesn't work with b&w to fix scratches and spots on the film, and they don't advertise that point. Their other option for scratch and spot removal only works some of the time...I'm not sure why this is. In those cases I end up having to spend quite a bit of time manually removing the dust and scratches with Photoshop. Other than that, it is a great scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great tool I have had various scanners but upgraded to this one to allow scanning of 120 size film slides as well as 35mm slides in particular. Even thought it did not come with a mask designed in particular for the medium format slide, I found that removing the hinged part from the film holder mask allowed me to scan 3 at a time easily while leaving them in their mount. The software is smooth and easily adjustable for color correction on individual slides among the 3 being scanned. It worked equally well for scanning 4 of the 35mm slides at a time in the supplied mount. Note that slides must be scanned with the inside cover of the lid removed to permit top illumination. This is done by following instructions to simply sliding it out of the tabs on each side of the lid. Scanning of other documents on the bed are smooth and fast. The bed is larger than letter size so even slightly oversize photos or documents will lay down easily. The cover is articulated to permit it laying down on an open book, if necessary. Lots of options to facilitate anything I have had a need for. Quality is fine, easy to operate, fast, simple saving operations to files. I am totally pleased, especially for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner is wonderful! I bought this photo scanner because I have SO many old photos and slides from when I owned film cameras, and I wanted to store these images on a flash drive for easy access and in case anything ever happened to my home! This scanner is very easy to use, has great features (I especially like the dust removal option), and works perfectly for my intended purpose. If you're looking for a great product to scan those old photos and slides (and, who doesn't want to keep those special memories?!) - this is your scanner!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner For years I have used your Epson perfection 2450 Photo Scanner. It is a superior product (as well as your Epson Stylus Photo 870 Printer). I just bought your V600 Photo Scanner. It makes terrible copies! The definition is terrible! It is very inefficient to work through your menus to increase the dpi and make better copies. Your software is worse than the Smart Panel offered with your old scanner. You have gone backwords!!! I want my money back! I will return your new scanner. I will spend my money getting my old scanner fixed!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Scanner We love it have scanned over 5000 photographs in the few months that we have had the scanner. It has always worked as it should and with great results. When using "Digital Ice" on old slides it is like a miracle. Almost all dust and marks are removed. It also scans office papers very well. Thank You Epson

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best purchase ever! First, I bought this quite a while ago... and it's still not obsolete! There might be technical cons for the pros, but as a non-techie I found it to be incredibly easy to install and use. I am making a project of scanning all my older photos/family pics. I plan to copy them to flash drives for my kids. (Fortunately I can scan however many I can fit within the frame. I've been sticking with 4 (3x5).) Also, my dad died 25 years ago when my daughter was 4 years old. This was of course before digital cameras so I don't have very many pictures. I put a negative I had of a picture of him with my daughter on the scanner. Not only did I get a beautiful picture of them together, but there was another pic on the strip that I didn't realize was there. I would have paid ANY price for these two pictures. Instead all I had to buy was this very reasonably priced scanner. I would recommend this scanner to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent scanner I love my new Epson V600 Photo Scanner. It is very easy to scan directly into Adobe Photoshop for editing. I can scan multiple pictures at a time, and if spaced correctly, each one scans individually. I tried it with negatives from the early 70's, and it works great. It also easily scans documents. Great for overall use of scanning photos (color and black and white) and documents. Would highly recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner for Win 8 but obsolete software I love my first Epson Perfection Photo scanner (1650) but the new V600 runs on Windows 8 so I purchased it from the Epson.com store. It is a refurbished model and I was assured online the Windows 8 drivers are available. They are and they work great. The Photoshop Elements 6.0 included with the scanner is useless with Windows 8 as well as Windows 7, and Windows Vista. Epson's response that this is the version shipped with this scanner is a bit beside the point. Was this scanner actually first shipped before Vista was shipped? I doubt that very much.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Limitations with this Scanner I had been using an Epson Perfetion 1650 fpr several years with a Windows XP machine and when I went to use it on a newer Windows 7 machine there were no drivers from Epson that would work and I was forced to buy this newer scanner which is OK, but the interface software does not have the easy features of the older machine. For example with the 1650 I could easily change the amount of reduction or magnification and I canot find the same feature with the V600. The V600 also has a poorer operating manual. The scans that I have done with the V600 are certainly OK, but I cannot determine if they are any better than with the older 1650. Is there a test that would make a comparison? I believe that Epson has the obligation to update its drivers when newer opeating systems. This would not be hard, but forcing us to buy the newest model scanner is not good business in the long run..

It handles photos of various sizes and multiple pictures at once as long as they fit appropriately onto the scanner flatbed. All I need to do is click scan, and color enhancement is also easy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mixed review It works nicely for color snapshots -have done almost 2000 so far. So overall I am satisfied. There are a couple of issues. One is that on photos like glaciers on an overcast day there is grey sky, grey ice and grey water so it scans in black and white.. I tried to force it to do color by taking out of auto mode but could not figure out how to make it work that way. The setting were too complicated for me. Also after about 3 hours of scanning it gives the error message cannot connect to computer. I tried different USB ports, shutting off and on, rebooting the laptop. The only thing that works is 2 hours rest - maybe it overheats. The other thing that is really annoying is that the .img counter goes to 999 and then starts over. So in one folder I hit 999 and it went back to 1 so I had to rename all the rest of the pix from 1000 - 1050 so they'd be in sequence then when I started a new folder for a new batch they reverted to 001 and are on the way to 999 again. Had to do that twice when it hit 999.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not what I expected I bought this V600 scanner because of all the good reviews here and elsewhere, but it is not as I expected. I have a lot of old photos, slides and negatives to scan and many reviews talk about what a good job the V600 does. But has not been my experience. I can look at the slides through a viewer, and they are sharp and crystal clear. The scans however, are blurry and muddy compared to the original and the colors are off. I had the scanner for 10 months now, and I've played around with every setting, resolution, adjustment, and a couple of software programs, but the results are always the same; blurry and off. The scans from negatives and photos are really not much better either. When you're scanning photos, whether they be prints, negatives, or slides, you expect minimum quality to be that the scan is at least equal to the original in terms of clarity, sharpness, and color, before you start any enhancements. But no, despite all the reviews to the contrary, every scan from every medium is more blurry and less detailed than the original and the color is just not right. I'm very disappointed with this scanner.

Or sale an glass adapter that reduces the area to accommodate this flaw. It is very hard to get a square scan. If you are scanning in Full Auto Mode, or using thumbnail preview in Home Mode or Professional Mode, move the document or photo about 6 mm (0.2 inch) away from the horizontal and vertical edges of the document table to avoid cropping. If you are scanning using normal preview in Office Mode, Home Mode, or Professional Mode, move the document or photo about 3 mm (0.12 inch) away from the horizontal and vertical edges of the document table to avoid cropping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use Perfect - easy to use. I am scanning all my pix and important docs to minimize space in my house. So far I have scanned 500+ photos. I can scan 4 to six pix at once and if I leave an 8th of an inch space between them, it saves them as individual jpgs. I have recommended this to many people including strangers I run into at Office Depot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner I love all of the features on this scanner. It scans photos, slides, negatives without a hitch. The only negative thing I have is the the holder for strips of negatives is a little difficult to work with. The negative strip doesn't stay put. But that's a minor problem. It way the colorization can be improved and minor flaws in the photo can be eliminated is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson does not stay current with MAC OS updates Less resolution and capabilities of a standard (and newer software) features of a Canon $80.00 flatbed. It's a chunky, large paperweight. It does not communicate with MAC OS 13.0+ Ventura and there are no downloads available in Epson support. So you have to rely on purchasing aftermarket software which doesn't meet the same capacity of this paperweight's boasts. My last Epson purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Scanner for slides I bought the Epson Perfection V600 scanner directly from Epson’s website. It was a little cheaper than the other popular vending website. Delivery took a few days, but it arrived in good condition exactly when they said it would. I bought this scanner after doing a lot of research on which scanner to use. I have thousands of 35mm slides that I need to scan to digitize them for safekeeping and future use. I found a review on this scanner on the other popular vending website in which the author provided extreme details of scanning slides with this scanner. I used his information as my starting point and quickly learned how to use this scanner to a high performance level. I have scanned over 100 slides to my iMac so far, and I am very pleased with the performance of the scanner and the results. There is a workflow you will need the develop with this, including image enhancing to remove dust/film defects and optimize exposure and clarity, depending on the condition of the original slides you are working with. In other words, the scanner does not “fix” the image, nor does it magically provide a perfect digital image. But it does a wonderful job at scanning the slide accurately and producing an accurate digital image that can be edited/enhanced/used. I’m not a “professional “, but I am demanding in what I want as an end result, and I strive for artistic and perfect images. This scanner is a cost effective tool that is crucial for that goal.

I scan both 35mm negatives and old photographs and I consider the results to be outstanding! However, as a someone who is technically challenged, I found the learning curve to bit harder than I thought. I do wish that the instructions had been written in simpler terms and in more detail. Once I got the basics down, I am very pleased! Being able to recover old photos and negatives that otherwise would have been lost makes it all worth while!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent for Medium Format and 35mm B&W negatives & slides I bought this primarily to scan old 120 medium format B&W negatives and also 35 mm B&W negatives and slides. It has worked very well for all of these purposes and I have saved a huge amount of money on the medium format negatives as compared to what it would cost for commercial scans of similar resolutions. My only problem was that I was unable to get some negatives to lie absolutely flat even after a number of attempts at remounting them. Whether or not this was the cause of regions of the scan appearing darker than others (typically some portion divided by the rest by a "line" (region of change) at angles that seemed like they were related to the uneven negative, I am not sure. I could not make out such regions when I examined the negatives under a loop but these were much smaller "views" than I could get with a scanned image so I am not sure what was the culprit. In any case, I never had this problem with negative strips that laid absolutely flat in the holder and the results were fixable in my photo editor (DxO). Overall, I have been extremely impressed by the scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Limited capabilities For what it is, it is not a bad scanner. I’ve used it to scan pictures for a webinar that I did for a museum and they turned out very well. However, something Epson fails to clearly mention in their literature is that scanning of film (negatives and positive such as slides) is very limited to ONLY modern film sizes. As an historian, I run across odd sizes of film. I bought this thinking I would be able to scan 8 x 10 and 4 x 5 glass negatives, 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 B&W film negatives, and 4 x 3-1/4 B&W glass positives (Magic Lantern slides). For those sizes it fails miserably. The backlight in the cover is only about 3-1/4” wide, so scanning with a backlight will ONLY work if your film fits in Epson’s film holders which position the film over this narrow window. It won’t scan negatives placed directly on the glass. They have to be in one of the holders for the machine to work scanning non reflective materials.

I primarily purchased it to scan negatives and it is a little disappointing I can only scan a couple of old negatives or only two small strips of 35mm at a time. I have a couple of thousand to scan and it is taking a very long time. The functionality of the scanner is good with many options. I will eventually get them all done :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick Scanning I have been using my husband's Epson scanner for years and decided to get one of my own. This one is similar to his, but much faster and has more features (which I haven't used yet). Two things that are different - and are a problem for me - are the location of the on/off button (hard to find near the back) and the quick "drop" of the lid when closing it. I expect I'll get used to both.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad quality control I have tried these twice, both times they had dirt or something on the underside of the scanner glass. They seem to work ok except the first one put a red stripe down the picture (due to a dirt speck in that area) and the other one just had dirt on underside of glass and I avoided scanning in that area. I may try one last time as the scanner specks are very good. I would suggest that you make it easy to remove and clean the glass.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Covers many but not all film sizes NEGATIVE COMMENTS: I have a collection of negatives of family photos, going back to the 1930's. The negatives are in many formats, but the V600 carriers natively handle only 35 mm slides, 35 mm/126 negative strips and medium format negatives up to 62 mm wide. I have some negatives that are 45 and 70 mm wide, and 16 mm wide 110 format. I have a 3D printer and printed my own carrier for the 45 mm wide negatives; I just place the 110's on the bed next to each other inside the medium format carrier. POSITIVE ISSUES: I have used the copy feature to make a copy of a paper document, and it is faster and simpler than scanning to a PDF and printing. Converting color negatives to positives, especially using color restoration, is very easy and gives great results. I like being able to outline multiple negatives prior to scanning, and having the scanner save each negative in batch mode by holding the CTRL key and clicking each negative. I could not find his time-saving feature mentioned in the User manual. I have not tried scanning 35 mm slides, or OCR conversion yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Scanner - But with a few quirks I bought this primarily because of its ability to scan medium format negatives. I also have the ES-500W for almost everything else. The V600 does an excellent job and its issues can be worked around. No, I don't typically read instruction books, rather, I rely on intuitive software. Sizing medium format film is not so obvious. (Set it under configuration). Since you can put two negatives in the holder well separated, why can't it figure out the size of those negatives? But if you put in a 6x9 (2 1/4 X 3 1/4) negative and it is set for 6x6, it will crop it to 6x6. If you put in two 620 negatives (one strip), it will often scan the first correctly and clip the second to include part of the first (See image example). I think that might be due to a smaller gap between negatives. Does not seem to happen as often with 120 file (larger gap maybe) unless it is very thin. Thin negatives often result in clipping or not finding a negative at all. But, after telling you it can't find a document, it shows the scanned negatives on the normal tab and allows you to select the area to scan. There are two tabs (Normal and Thumbnail). When you want to select/crop negative areas to scan, use the Normal tab. To automatically select image areas, select the thumbnail tab. Clipping only happens in the thumbnail tab. It seems to have the ability to save setting groups like the 500W has with save and delete buttons. However, I have yet to see how to enable them and consequently, I am changing parameters every time I change film formats. I guess I may need to read the instructions for that if it's in there. This is a fantastic feature on the 500W. The V600 provides several adjustments when scanning film. Typically, they are all unchecked except for Unsharp Mask. Unsharp mask seems to work well. But sometimes for B&W negatives, it sometimes creates a distorted image especially on edges (See example image). Rescanning with the unsharp option unchecked, corrects this problem. Unfortunately, when you are ready to scan (B&W negatives), it always has this checkbox selected, and so must be unchecked before you scan. On the other hand, the Digital Ice feature, which does a reasonable job of cleaning up scratches and dust, is not checked and must be checked before scanning if you want to use it. Perhaps both of these can be addressed if I figure out how to save a setting group. I have included a combined image showing the use of these options. On many old color negatives, the color has faded. The Color Restoration feature does a pretty good job of getting it back to the original state (See Example image) It took me a while to figure this out, but you can scan larger format film as well without using the holder. For example, 65 or 70mm file such as the 116/616 film can be scanned by placing the film directly on the glass. I align it with the white line under the glass since it must align with the light in the top. When you scan the film, it will tell you it cannot find an image, but then allows you to crop from what it scanned (see example image). Although I have not yet scanned 4x5 negatives, I expect you could get most of the image in a scan and merge two scans in Photoshop (or some other software) to complete the image. Finally, For scanning prints, it works extremely well. I use the 500W for most images, but for small prints that the 500W does not handle (only down to business card size), I can place several prints on the flatbed and the V600 will scan into separate files beautifully. I have not used this scanner for regular documents, but expect it works well if you only need a single page at a time. Check out the ES-500W if you have much of that type of work to do - it is fantastic. Despite these little quirks, the V600 is an excellent scanner and very affordable. I would definitely recommend this especially for someone with lots of medium format images to scan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well after you figure out how to use it I bought this primarily for scanning old slides and color negatives. It does a nice job scanning. Took a while to figure out how to get the lid open for the first time as it seemed stuck and I didn't want to use too much force. I recommended the scanner to a friend who had the exact same problem opening the lid - even calling tech support and taking it back to where he bought it. My suggestion - PUT SOME KIND OF NOTICE about this issue directly attached to the lid to avoid having customers angry before they even start to use the scanner. Or better yet, fix the issue on opening lid for first time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent scanner This is a decent scanner. I bought it to copy photographic film. For some reason, I was under the impression it could handle 4x5 negatives, but alas, it can only take as large as 120 format film. There are plastic trays that hold the film during scanning, but if the film is curved, it does not lay completely flat so there is a loss of quality in the scan. I tried to lay the negative between two pieces of glass but then the scanner would not work. There should be an override so that I can scan regardless. Otherwise, if the film is flat, it scans great and the software seems adequate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Museum Work Horse I've been taking, developing and editing photos since 1972. Once digital began I was skeptical at first but now...I would't have it any other way. What a delight and solution to so many photographic problems. Which brings us to the Epson Perfection V600 Scanner. I volunteer at the local historical museum and since one of my skills is photography, it was a natural for me to step into that spot which had become vacant. It became evident we needed a quality scanner. After much research, we bought the V600. What a marvelous decision. The learning curve was not too steep since an e-manual comes with it and there are many YouTube videos available. Cleaning old negatives, slides and photos is a cinch. and control of image size simply requires making a selection from a drop down list. I've scanned negatives and slides as old as 60 years and this scanner's editing/scanning system provides spectacular results. It has never failed us no matter how bad the original was. I will say this, however, if the negative, slide or photo is too badly damaged, simply scanning and saving to a thumbdrive brings great satisfaction to the family. So thank you, Epson for making such an excellent scanner that can be truly depended on no matter the condition of the original.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Typical average performance Bought this scanner in anticipation it will work on my iMac Pro OS Big Sur, but no cigar, there are no drivers available for this scanner. The store assured me it will work fine on iMac. Epson support has no solution at this time. Luckily I also have Microsoft system Win 10 pro OS, it works fine on this platform.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I'm impressed with the scanner. Epson Support is non existan I purchased my scanner in January. It works very well. Apple updated my macbookpro to Big Sur and SilverFast ceased to function with the new OS. I have tried to contact Epson Support and have not had any response from Epson. I'm very disappointed with Epson Support. My original plan was to use the scanner and the macbookpro together. That has not happened since the update. I'm currently using the scanner with a much older and slower laptop... To be frank... I'm extremely disappointed ! ! !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast and functional I've had the scanner about a week and a half. It is doing a good job. The software comes with a lot of features. I have not explored all of them yet. The manual, which is included on a disk is adequate to get you started but it would have been helpful to have some videos included. I learned more from trial and error and experimenting with different scan modes. My previous scanner was slower but I had scanned almost 20,000 images in the last year. This scanner is definitely much faster. I have scanned over 1000 images in the first week. This was a mix of slides, Film and prints. I like being able to scan more negatives at the same time than with previous scanners. I've found that, for me, Pictures scan better in home mode and film seems to scan better in full auto. I've used the professional mode a littel and it seems like it could be really good. The only concern I have is that the film tray seems a little flimsy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding features, especially in fill automatic mode I have used this scanner to scan over 3,500 pages of photographs and slides and the results have been consistently outstanding.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great hardware, software could use updating I'm happy with the results I've gotten but I wish it didn't take so long to scan negatives. I understand there is an Epson 2 software update that greatly helps with this but is only available for Mac. Please consider making the update available for windows as well. I also wish that when I scan a negative, the scanning preview area wasn't so small and hard to gauge how it will actually turn out. And I scan the whole film strip because letting the software crop the frames on the automated mode doesn't preserve the full image, I have to crop them manually on a very tiny part of the screen. Sometimes I've been tempted to scan a negative at different exposures and combine the details in photoshop using a HDR merge setting. I wish that could be an option with the scanner. So like I said, great results and equipment, wish the accompanying software was better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best photo scanner in its class I've ever operated The V600 Photo Scanner is the best in its class that I have ever operated & am glad I finally acquired it as I gear up to archive a trove of family documents & photos. So far it has interfaced with a number of applications - everything from those that were included with it to a range of others (e.g., Office & PDF apps) - results of which have been stellar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You never know what it might do or why it did it After just receiving the product I wanted to start using it. That dimmed rapidly. When I tried to open the cover it didn't open with what I thought was enough force, which shouldn't be much. I lifted the V600 up by pulling on the cover. I remembered reading a review from somewhere that mentioned trouble with getting the cover open so I was hesitant about applying too much force for fear of breaking the cover. Not finding that review and having had the V600 for about a week and still not having used it, I said I was going to get the cover open even if I did break it. I got it open by holding the body of the V600 with one hand and pulling on the cover with the other. I had to pull a lot harder than should ever been required. Every opening after that was done as expected. The initial opening caused me to think the cover was held shut by some sort of a bonding substance and once that bond was broken the cover opened easily. It takes a while to learn how to use the V600. It took me longer than necessary to figure out why it wouldn't turn on and I still don't know why. After using it for one day I tried to turn it on the next day and it wouldn't turn on and all I had done the night before was turn it off. After much investigating, the switch, the cords, and the power supply, it finally came on and I have no idea why. But that is only the first part of the action mysteries demonstrated to me by this scanner. Hoping to eradicate all the concerns that follow after experiencing a couple of these problems I uninstalled and reinstalled the software. That didn't seem to help. I was using a Windows 10 application. I was prescreening/scanning only 35mm slides to my computer so repetitive action was the norm for me but not the scanner. It became a guessing game as to what I would see for a scanned product. There were times that a black line border would show on any edge of the of scanned product; never always in the same location or size. I would rescan the slide and get the same black border line results no matter which program I used or how I positioned the slide until.... The last day I used the scanner a reproduction had this black border line across the top so I said what would happen if I turned it upside down? It scanned okay so I found the slide that I could not scan correctly from the day before, no matter what I tried, and, who knows why, this time it scanned correctly. There were times I would attempt to scan and I would get an error message that the scanner could not communicate with the computer. Turning the scanner on and off three times seemed to cure this problem for that scan. This problem was a random happening. There were times I would attempt to scan a rack of slides and see them copied upside down or turned left or right from the way I had placed them into the slide holder. Sometimes using color restoration made the orange sunrise or sunset show as green so I didn't know whether to use color restoration or not so I would decide after reviewing the scanned product. When the scanner operated properly it scanned slides in a very rewarding way. Showing the scanned product to be what I desired. Some of these slides are 50 plus years of age so I used the Digital ICE Technology option for many of these slides. If one looks at the cost for the V600 it might seem to be an almost acceptable trade off for the inconsistent results, however, before I fully believe that I am going to give the Epson V600 back to the store where I purchased it and think about it. I have about 10,000 slides I want to digitize. I want a scanner that works properly all the time or at least until the scanning light burns out. And the scanner I had might have worked properly all the time because it might be more a problem with the software and not the scanner. The scanner works the same way all the time; responding to the information sent to it. The only thing that differs is the information sent to the scanner. Yes, I will probably buy another and see how that new one operates. At least I have already been exposed to many of the nuances of the V600 so the disappointment might not be viewed as shocking. As I tell anyone or everyone, "I am perfect. Aren't you?" Nothing is and it is how we accept imperfections that matters.

I use it for genealogy and family history, scanning positives and all sorts of negatives and transparencies of different sizes. It does everything I need!

The V600 comes with a good set of accessories for different sizes of material from Kodachromes to formal portraits.

Obviously, I will review the operating instructions and, hopefully, all my concerns will be satisfied. If I hadn't read somewhere else how someone wrote, "Don't try opening the cover or you might break the cover:, I might have tried more force than I did to get the cover open. There should be a warning attached to the cover to not open the cover by lifting or a notice that tells a person the cover will not open unless electrical power has been applied. Or maybe there is another way to open the cover but I can't be sure. Customer support does not list a toll free number. If you call Epson for support you pay for the call. Many favorable reviews by others and I trusted their judgement, thus my reason for buying this scanner. With time I hope to replace my one star rating with a five star. more familiarity with the product will determine that outcome.

All of a sudden each scan comes with a magenta stripe though the left quarter of color negs and color slides. Now today there is a dark gray stripe on B&W neg scans as well. I switched the negs and slide around to see if this was some sort of water mark and no it isn't. So what is causing this to happen?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Hardware, Weak Software I am in the process of digitizing hundreds of photos from albums, and thousands of 35 millimeter slides. The quality of the resulting images, and the ability to choose the appropriate resolution have been wonderful. My previous slide scanner passed a lamp below the slide, projecting the slide image onto the sensor array. This left shadow artifacts that blurred across the final image. The V600 scanner moves both the light source and and sensor simultaneously above and below the slide, virtually eliminating the artifacts, and producing a much sharper image. Technical support when I started out was also excellent. The glaring weakness of the V600 is the accompanying software. I am using a Macintosh desktop with a 2019 OS. My main gripe is that, when I am scanning a set of four slides at a time (the maximum), I must be present to jiggle the mouse repeatedly to make the software advance to the next step or next slide. It effectively demands your whole attention. The software is also 32-bit, and I am using the last Mac OS that will run 32-bit software.

Tried for 1 1/2 hours unloading and re-loading software with no results. Contacted Epson. Spent another hour or so unloading and re-loading software. The Tech determined it to be faulty and arranged for me to receive another scanner. It took a week for the replacement to arrive. The return process went smoothly. I plugged the replacement into my computer and it worked properly right away. I have since scanned several hundreds of photos with no problems. Epson Customer Service is the best. The only downside to this purchase was the time it took for the replacement to arrive. Will buy from Epson again.

The only thing I don't like is that the Epson Scan software doesn't allow selecting 48-bit color in the home mode. This means you have to select the professional mode and do one photo at a time. Though with scanning negatives you can do 48-bit color and it automatically gets all of the photos you have in the negatives on the flatbed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Full featured, professional unit Unfortunately, very few all-in-one printer-fax-scanners have the ability to scan transparencies and negatives for want of a simple light above the scanner bed. I specifically needed to scan slides so I was forced to purchase this even though I had a scanner in my HP all-in-one unit. I was (still am) not to happy about needed to find now a second space for another piece of equipment, but say-la-vee. That said, the unit is uber professional -- all the bells and whistles of a really professional piece of equipment. Scanned a variety of slide and negative types and the results was excellent. The only complaint so far is the User Interface it by no means User Friendly or intuitive and it took me awhile to figure out how to configure it to get slides to scan properly. It too almost an hour to figure out that there is a light in the hood and that the white reflector sheet must be removed before you can scan transparencies. THAT was not immediately apparent and the error message that came up in the software wasn't easily interpreted. Another downer, and I'll admit its a small thing but nontheless really annoying -- the plastic film carrier that is used to hold the slides on the scanner glass is not another thing that needs a place in my all-to cluttered desk area. It would have been so easy for Epson designers to make a slot under the scanner or on the top hood that one could hold the plastic carriers. The hood as you can see from the picture is rounded so you can't even just leave the carriers sitting on top of the unit -- they tend to slide off. So now you have these two things that need to live somewhere. Ebson, you've got this big unit -- you could easily incorporate a place in it to store the carriers.

We have so many picture slides from the 60s, 70s and 80s that have been sitting in boxes that we wanted to digitize. I considered sending them off to a company that does this, but I’m so happy that I’m doing it myself. What fun reliving the early days of out marriage and our children as babies and youngsters. I’m sending the cutest pictures to each of my 4 children, and they’re showing these gems to their children. When they get into the computer you can crop them and straighten them, etc as needed. These are things we couldn’t do when we took pictures back then.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better Quality Scans and Software Than I Expected I had an older flatbed scanner and bought a 35mm scanner, but neither would do the quality I wanted. So I bought this scanner to do old family slides. I was amazed at the quality of 35mm scans. And the auto color correction software did an excellent job. Especially on old Kodachrome slides. Some from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. I'm a retired professional color corrector and drum scanner operator and not easily impressed. This scanner will do a better job than most people need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good editing. The 'scratch & dust' editing works real good. I wish the unit would handle more then 4 slides. Unless I'm operating the unit wrong - you have to go through a 'review' step before the actual scan. It takes a while, a minute +/-, to scan a sheet. Thats a long time if you have dozens of pictures to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A bit slow, but excellent quality! I have slides, negatives and old pictures to scan. I already had a fast scanner, which worked well for relatively new photos in good condition, but it did not work for slides and negatives. This Epson scanner has fantastic software included, which adjusts color on old faded photos, and the slides and negatives scan easily, but slow. I don’t want to complain about the slowness too much, because that may be necessary for the great quality of the scans. Photos scan quickly, but loading the bed takes more time than a batch scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable and easy to use I bought an Epson V600 scanner last winter to digitize slides and prints. So far I've scanned about 2,000 slides and I've had no problems at all. The scanner offers several settings to vary the quality and size of the scans. It came with photo-editing software that enables me to improve the final images. Overall, I've had no problems with the machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from extremely frustrating After only two scans, the Epson Scan stops working: "Cannot cummunicate with the scanner. Make sure the scanner is on, correctly setup and connected with no errors indicated. For detailed information, see Solving Problems in the User's Guide." An Epson guide suggests going to EPSON Scan Settings, but I can't because I got another error message: "Information for scanners that support EPSON Scan Settings is not installed. EPSON Scan Settings will close." I've uninstalled, installed, uninstalled, installed .... many many times, restarted the scanner and my computer many times, but it still doesn't work. I checked the online forums and realize this is a common problem for many users, I tried all the tips but none worked out. Since the problem has been there for so long, why can't Epson do something? Will have to return it. Already wasted too much time and energy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Experience Excellent piece of equipment. Most negative scans to jpg files are successful. Only a few are out of focus or too dark but I blame that mainly on the original negatives' quality. Saves me a lot of $$ since I don't first need to have the negatives professionally printed. I prefer jpgs anyway. The "out of the box" negative holders should have included a 127 type. Otherwise, I'm happy with what was provided.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works far better than I expected! I did a lot of research before purchasing the V600. Looking at many reviews, I was hesitant to purchase it due to the many less than positive reviews. But there just weren't many other options to scan slides unless I spent far more $. So, I decided I would order it and if I had issues I would return it. Long story short, I love this scanner! I installed it on a Windows 10 sure with no issues at all. The software provided has worked great and is simple to use and understand, contrasty to many reviews which called the software out of date, crude, and hard to understand. I ended up selecting 3600dpi to scan my slides, and have the ICE features enabled. The quality of the images are far and away better than the scans I did with a much more expensive Plustek scanner. Even on slides with many defects, the scanner and software correction works amazingly well. I have had to edit very few slide images. Simply put, buy one! You won't be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Surpassed my expectations! I had hundreds of pictures, 35mm, and medium format slides and negatives to scan, and needed a scanner that could do a professional job. I was concerned that the V600 would not be able to give me the final output I needed, and would need to get Epson’s model V800 or V850 to get the results I required. But being on a tight budget I couldn’t afford to step up to that level, so I bit the bullet and got the V600. The quality of the finished images are amazing, and I’m so glad I purchased this unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice scanner, but slow Purchased this scanner to digitize a bunch of very old negatives. Had to purchase additional film holders from Negative Solutions. Software is OK, but sometimes a challenge. Very time consuming to scan negatives. Can preview multiple negatives, but then have to scan each one individually. With larger negatives, the Epson software split negative into 3 separate images. VueScan software is easier to use with some of the odd size negatives. A limited version of SilverFast software is available with purchase of the scanner, but this package was difficult to use. I would recommend this scanner with reservations. I would not use it for documents as it is too slow.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use. I bought this for my wife 3 years ago, and were just now beginning to use it. It is very easy to use, and like most items of this nature, there is a small learning curve. It works very well and has many nice features, but sadly, there are a couple of challenges. This scanner wasn't designed to scan 110, 126, or 127 negatives. I purchased negative holders for the scanner through a secondary source, but the ease is gone and each picture must be individually handled. Thinking I will have to purchase another scanner as I have about 8 years worth of negatives to scan in. Really thought my V600 would do the job. :(

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner I have had this for about two weeks. It is faster than my printer/scanner, the scanning screen is legal size so I can place up to 6 photos on it at once, and it has a higher resolution. My photos are small as the ones I am scanning are 50+ years old. The only drawback is that the scanner will cut off part of the photo if you place it on the edge or too close to the edge. It will also combine photos if you place them too close together on the scanning bed.

I've spent a decade recommending Epson Photo Perfection scanners and after the last few weeks of tears, I won't be doing that for the V600. My V550 seems to be doing fine, but the V600 will not connect to any computer I've tried. I suspect it's related to Windows updates, but who knows - since there's no clear error message and no way to troubleshoot what's happening. When the scanner works, it's great.

The color is true and there are no artifacts such as scan lines even on lower DPI settings. This scanner is not one of the cheap ones, but at $300 and considering I have already scanned hundreds of class photos for my High school class' 50th reunion it is already paid for in my opinion. I intend to scan thousands for a digital family album for my relatives, This workhorse is efficient, makes scanning multiple family albums with many pictures per page a breeze.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This scanner can see things your eyes can't see. I primarily use this scanner for scanning film as I am a film photographer and I am blown away by how much precision and detail it is capable of including being able to actually produce useful images from film negatives that are so dark you wouldn't think there's anything there worth seeing. Besides film, it works great for photos, and it really does a great job at accurately scanning the colors. As for other features i love, using the software it's able to tell the boundaries between photos and automatically create separate image files for them if you've got multiple photos loaded at a time. They also have excellent tools for correcting dust, scratches, and near perfect color restoration for faded or discolored photos. Epson really gives you a lot for your money. Only one thing I wish was different is that it was a bit thinner. It is a very chunky scanner, almost 5 inches thick, but I guess they need all that room for it to be able to scan with so much precision,

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good scanner if no manufacturing defects in glass I bought this scanner specifically for scanning old slides & negatives; my basic printer/scanners work fine for regular documents & photos. The V600 produces very good scans, albeit somewhat slowly on the higher resolution settings. I hope its longevity is as good as the scan quality. Other reviewers commented on dust under the scanning glass. I also noticed what seemed to be specks of dust (or similar imperfections) under the main scan glass and another under the transparency glass. The imperfections can usually be edited out of the scanned photo afterwards, without too much difficulty. But they do indicate a significant lack of quality control in manufacturing. I would have returned the unit for replacement; but taking what I felt was a less wasteful route, I requested (and received) a significant price adjustment from the merchant. The scanner lid is a bit tricky to open initially, the very first time out of the box. I followed the advice of others online who said start from the back and gently pry it up because it's sort of vacuum-stuck. Yes, the V600 DOES work with Windows 10! Based on previous experience with my Epson printer, I expected the V600's user interface to be tricky; and I got what I expected. The CD included with the scanner contains outdated drivers, so one must go to Epson's website to download the latest versions. Most importantly, I had to download/install Epson Scan 2 - not the original, older, Epson Scan which comes with the V600 installation CD! Epson Scan 2 works quite well with the unit. It's a major improvement over the original Epson Scan. It allows for saving of customized scan settings (nice!). I spent quite awhile figuring out how to get the V600 to stop cropping off the edges of my slides on the scanned images, a complaint other reviewers also had. Solution: From the scan options screen, go to ADVANCED>THUMBNAILS>CROP and select LARGE for the crop size (SMALL is the default setting). Also note that the V600’s cropping works much better on slides that are set in cardboard holders. Many slides from around 1980 are set in plastic holders, which do not block light as well and therefore cause the scanner to randomly mis-crop some images. Most often, this is simply a matter of having to manually crop the image further at a later time; but worst case scenario, I made a heavy paper cutout to lay on top of the slide so it will scan/crop correctly. The V600’s slide trays have a bit of wiggle room, so adjusting slide placement in them can also help with cropping issues. The trays themselves are somewhat flimsy, but they work; give attention to putting them in place precisely, and treat them gently! Another note: don't change the name of the destination folder on your computer while a scan is in progress -- the files will not be able to be saved and you'll need to re-do the scan. The dust removal feature seems to work fairly well, as does Digital ICE; but using ICE increases the scanning time exponentially and doesn't seem to produce as sharp of an image, thus I rarely use it. I prefer to get a high quality "raw scan" and manually edit it later in Windows Photos. That said, it is very important to keep the glass – and the items you’re scanning – very clean to avoid extra dust in images. The scanner-computer connection does "time out" after a set number of seconds, but this can be changed in settings from as little as 30 seconds to as much as 5 minutes. I have found that when first turning the scanner on, it takes a minute or so for the connection to establish. If it times out or won’t connect, I close Epson Scan and restart the app (sometimes this must be done a few times if one is rushing). I did have one day where nothing would make the computer/scanner connect, but eventually they did - after 3 restarts, and reinstalling Epson Scan 2. Not sure what happened there. Given a choice, I typically prefer Canon products. But overall, so far I am reasonably satisfied with the V600. There don't seem to be any similar scanners currently available that would be any better, and I feel the small self-contained units made by other manufacturers for slide scanning are not going to produce very good quality images. My advice to others considering the V600: Be prepared to play along with the idiosyncrasies of the system, and inspect your unit carefully for defects!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Have yet to get out of error mode. I have had this scanner for several months and have yet to get it to successfully power up. It always goes into a flashing error light condition. The light flashes momentarily so the bulb is not the issue. I have a good deal of computer experience over several decades and have used many Epson products. I have never run across an issue this frustrating. Customer support seems to be almost impossible to contact.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost Perfection! Works great for scanning negatives! The included software feels a bit outdated and "clunky", particularly in "Professional Mode", and reminds me of the Epson scanning software I used on Windows 95 with an older Epson scanner I had, however, it does work well. Perhaps this is due to a need to retain backwards compatibly?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My new Epson Perfection is exactly that.....PERFECTION! I had a large format scanner which stopped working when I moved to Windows 11. I tried another A3 large format scanner, but it just didn't live up. I switched strategies due to the high prices in the A3 category. I started looking for a letter/legal glass size. If I had an oversized document, there are marvelous stitching programs available. I knew Epson was a revered brand and my focus moved to the Epson V600. It had great scanning specs at a reasonable price. It was an easy hookup. it worked with Windows 11 and loaded right into Photoshop. I am very pleased with the Epson V600 scans and happy with my purchase. Thanks Dell !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Frustrating I bought it beginning of January. Im trying to make a slide show for my grandpa's memorial this weekend. Used it a bunch and then in the middle of scanning a bunch of photos, it stops working. I spent hours trying to get it to work again. I even had them send me a new one in case it was the machine. After hours of messing with it (unplugging, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc.) I got it to work for a bit. Then I took a break and when I came back to it it stopped working again. Spent a few more hours trying to get it to work again before I gave up. I have windows 10 (seems like not as much of an issue with a Mac according to online) only got like 200 photos scanned. Should be enough for the memorial but I still need to scan all the photos albums to make digital copies for my family.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Long-term review - 14 years of superb reliability This scanner has been in heavy use in my office, since I bought it new in 2009. I paid about 1/2 the price for which it is selling today (2023). It always performed flawlessly until very recently, when the scanning speed started to slow down. I know exactly where the problem is - the grease on the Rail Cylinder hardens, and sticks, instead of lubricating - perfectly normal after so many years. I've serviced this before on customers' scanners, and it is a common ageing symptom. I disassembled the scanner, and did an ageing service - Replaced the old Consumer-grade 85°C capacitors on the PCB with new 105°C Industrial-grade units; and removed the old sticky grease from the Rail cylinder, and spread a thin layer of industrial-grade synthetic lubricant. Problems solved, reassembled, and my V600 returned to flawless fast and precise scanning. I expect no problems for at least the next 15 years. Well done Epson for making equipment which lasts and is repairable, especially after 14 years of heavy use.

Using Professional Mode I removed the red cast and restored the colors on photos and film I thought were lost forever. Some damaged photos needed some cropping to get the colors back. The only improvements I can suggest are that the negative holder be more friendly, less flimsey, and include a section to hold smaller negatives.

I especially like the ability, using the software included, to scan multiple pages into a single PDF document. It saves alot of space over the way I used to do it when I scanned everything in as a JPEG and had to save Page 1, Page 2 etc. for multi-page documents. It's also designed for easily scanning from books. I almost bought Canon instead but they were out of stock in most places and high-priced otherwise. I'm glad because this is probably a much better deal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson for slides While I've only had the scanner in use for a day or so it has performed well. The slides that I have scanned look great and with proper cleaning of the slides prior it reduces any post-editing. I am still learning the "best" ways to scan as there are a number of settings that can be adjusted in the professional mode. I have yet to do film, and will do both colour and b&w. I do find the setting up of the slides a bit tedious, placing the holders and positioning the slides in it. I also (in this case) would have preferred a paper manual to refer to. Where I would typically not mind an electronic version in this case I'd like to sit down and read the manual to get the most info on how to scan properly and most effectively. Bottom line I'm very happy with the scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 The scanner itself is made well and works great, howvever the "DIGTAL ICE" software function for slides has a lot to be desired. It causes most sildes with dark lines and darker lighting to become deformed. At one point it caused the software not to even reconize the scanner. Had to restart the program for the scanner to function again. Scan slides without the "DIGTAL ICE" function and have had no problems at this point. Have not tryed it with photos yet. The slide tray could have a better way of getting the slide out of the tray. If you dont have good finger nails you can not get them back out of the tray with out removing the tray and removing the slides from the glass. There is a notch to recover the slides on the tray but it is of little use. Seems there could be a tray cover like the film stips have so you could load and remove the slide easyer. In short the "DIGTAL ICE" is not as that great as you are lead to belive. There is room for improvement on the slide trays however the scanner dose a great job itself and if you can get around the little problems it is a great scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 - a Great Scanner I just finished scanning thousands of slides - some were 40+ years old. It restored the color on most of them and got rid of dust motes with the Digital Ice Feature. Before using this scanner the slides had so many black dots from dust that I spent hours removing them one at a time with an editing program. While a few dust motes remained on some of the older slides, it did get rid of most of them and saved a lot of time. The only negative I found with the scanner was that, it occasionally would develop a memory glitch and the slides would scan with a black border. I would have to do them over. I finally found it quicker to preview the slides before scanning and make the necessary corrections. All in all, I am very pleased with this scanner and with the results. I have yet to try it with photos or negatives, but I feel sure it will perform with equally good results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great hardware, but... My initial thoughts after only a few hours of use is that the scanner itself is top-notch. My biggest problem has been with the Photoshop Elements 9 software that came with the scanner and is needed if you want to do any kind of modification to the scans for slides/photos. Because the software comes on CD I am having a difficult time getting it to the laptop the scanner is connected to. The laptop has no cd/dvd drive so I am trying to copy the software from another computers' dvd drive to the laptop over the network. No luck yet. So initially, I give the overall package (scanner and software) only 4 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Performs Exceptionally Well I just received my Epson V600 Scanner. Works perfectly, right-out-of-the-box, on my Windows 7 64-bit computer. I purchased the scanner to scan a multitude of slides and film that I've stored in boxes for years. Many were taken with my Rollei Marine underwater camera. The scan quality is high-enough for professional print projects.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Quality I do a job every year that requires scanning hundreds of old photos and clippings. I don't know how its speed compares to others on the market today, but this scanner is 3-4 times faster than my old one, and the color is excellent. It saved me a lot of hours. I'm looking forward to trying the film scanning features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Photo Scanner Just set it up today, will try to come back in a few months - after the hundreds of pictures & documents needing to be scanned are completed - to give a more thorough review. For now, the unit is extremely easy to set up and get started. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone for ease of use and functionality. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: 1. It should have been made to allow scanning of legal, or longer, sized documents instead of a max of only 8.5x11 without having to purchase an automatic document feeder. (perhaps it does, but haven't found how yet...) 2. Also, because of the difficulty I initially had scanning a document. I ended up using the picture type instead of text/line art type as it wouldn't allow me to scan the item in PDF. It's very possibly due to my inexperience and will report back later to let you know. The photos scanned came out great, as did a newspaper article with color pictures and a document - once the PDF issue was resolved. Was able to use the ICE technology on the pictures (one color, one sepia tone) to eliminate dust that really wasn't all that visible initially, rotate and save the clipping, see the document in color, greyscale and B&W to compare the clarity of each - the preview is a great feature and rotation of the picture to right side up before scanning is available. At this point, I am very happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from flaw Machine really does a great job and copies slides and pictures. However, a couple of times the machine would only copy two of the slides in the holder and when copying pictures it would revert back to the section that was only copying two of the slides. Hope it doesn't happen again. It has happened twice but then seemed to correct itself.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so good Researched for some time for a reasonably priced scanner for 35mm slides. Color and definition are important for medical slides converted for digital projection. I am very impressed with quality of digitized slides so far. I'm not a computer wiz and have no experience with Photoshop Elements. There were no instructions regarding the use of Photoshop but I assume the information is on the disc. The only downside may be the time necessary if you have many slides to digitize.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner This was my first purchase of a scanner. I bought the Epson after reading many reviews. Overall I'd rate it average. I figure the Epson is about on par with other scanners in its price range, so I didn't ask for a refund. The scanner does a good job with photographs ... on its own terms. If one tries to tweak the results of its scans, it may be frustrating. There are various quality levels one may strive for concerning a particular picture/digital file, but too often it is the scanner that will determine what settings are best. With that in mind, any attempt to improve the quality is frequently met with bad outcomes: smeared areas on the photo. The "Perfection" is not that: it is average. Don't ask too much of it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Scanner I purchased this scanner to digitize old photos. The quality and resolution of the scanned photos are awesome. I scan to tiff files and then read them into Lightroom for processing. If the photos are real bad I further process them into Photoshop. Pro... easy, fast and good quality photos Con.. applying color enhancement or ICE for photo repair does not always work and can even add artifacts to the photo. For the money and compared to professional copy stores, the V600 is a great value and produces terrific results. I highly recommend this scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor Instructions I read lots of reviews for this product before purchasing, so I thought it would be relatively easy to use. Actually, connecting it and pluggin it in were OK. The instructions for installation of program did not at all represent what happened on screen. It was just by luck that I figured out how to download the program. Then, the download from the disk didn't work very well. The program quit unexpectedly, so I had to start over. The instruction also said just put on a picture and scan. Wrong! The basic scan gave a very low-res photo, hardly useable for printing. Also the format in which it appeared on my computer was not useable in iPhoto. Again, just by chance, I figured out how to get the resolution higher and put it in a format that I could use in iPhoto. It took lots of steps, and I have been working on this for nearly 2 hours, and I still need to read tons more in the guide. Now, the guide has link upon link upon link, so it is nearly impossible to find an appropriate starting point. It's very confusing. Yikes! This scanner may end up working just wonderfully, but the "easy set up" is anything but easy and is not accurate enough to make this easy to use. I didn't want to recommend or not recommend, but this site required a choice. I said "no" because of the confusing instructions. One other frustration is that I was scanning a black and white photo. If I clicked that, it came out really burned. I then labeled it as "color," and it worked. Why??? Finally, in the package, a DVD called "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10" was included, but there was not one word about its use on the instructions for setting it up. How would an inexperienced person understand if that disc was necessary for the basic use of this equipment.?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Scanner - Junk Negative/Slide Trays I bought the Epson V600 to scan old negatives and prints from WWI & II. I have no complaints with the scan quality at all but, the negative trays are total junk. Made of really cheap plastic and are truly cumbersome. Epson needs to come out with a quality negative/slide tray for this unit. I didn't use the outdated Essentials. I have a current version of Photoshop which does a great job. I would recommend this scanner to friends due to the quality of the scan with prints and negatives.

Easy to use reasonable fast. Straight forward settings. For photos the ICE settings work very good. Not a replacement for photo shop but with a corrected scan to start with it is a real time saver when saving old photos. Very clear with little additional work needed. I have other flat bed scanners, and dedicated film scanner, which I no longer use. A word of caution the only way I have been able to install this scanner on windows 7 pro is with the installation disk. I was missing the disk and tried to install off the website with out any luck. But with the disk took less than 5 min.

My previous Perfection 4180 was working perfectly fine but I wanted to upgrade the resolution of the V600. I plugged it into my iMac with Lion and it popped up on the screen and ImageCapture was scanning within seconds. It is almost too good. I am scanning an old dog show magazine and the scanner picks up the ghost image of the back of the page! Great value and great Epson internet service AND it came with a full version of PS Elements 9! The scans are coming out better than the originals and I am thrilled. As I expected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Photo Scanner The overall scanner is Excellent. It's fast and the quality is great. The only warning I would give is to not rely on the image correction software to color correct or fix all scratches. The software is limited and you can do better in photoshop. The color correct software can overcompensate some pictures and the scratch removal will not eliminate all scratches. As long as you realize that your OK. I do 2 scans, one with color correct and one without, I pick the best scan and bring it into Photoshop to finalize.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far so good I bought the scanner (v600) primarily to scan color negatives & old photos. So far, its working pretty good w/r to scan quality. Installation: Installation was pretty easy. You plugin the power and USB cable, then install the software. The Epson Scan installs (btw 5-10 minutes) & your running if your computer recognizes the scanner. One thing to pay attention to is be sure to turn the power on on the side. Setup: Overall, setup wasn't difficult. The only complaint is setting up the film holder and putting the negatives in & out of it. It takes a little time, especially if your scanning alot of negatives. I would suggest to Epson if they could make the holder easier by putting a hinge or something that just tilts/opens up to put the film in & snaps close. I would suggest to Epson if you could make the holder easier by putting a hinge or something that just tilts/opens up to put the film in & snaps close. Its kinda painful right now. Scan Quality: From my minimum usage and experience, scan quality seems to be as advertised - so far so good. I've been using the Fully Auto mode which makes it "dead easy" for anyone. I haven't tried the other features like dust removal or ICE yet... but have set the auto mode and we'll see. Thanks for a great product and hope you'll listen (w/r to the holder) and make it better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Price and Functionality I purchased this scanner because I have a large inventory of negatives and I still shoot film on my Rollei TLR. I was spending a fortune getting small scans done just so I could see what I have and work with it before deciding whether to get a larger scan done. I am very pleased with the scanner's performance for this particular purpose. I was very nervous after my first scan of a 120 neg because it looked VERY soft. I did some research on what settings other users were employing during 120 scans and once I made those changes I got a much better result. The scanner excels at scanning prints and does a great job on 35mm even on very large scans. The medium format scanning is the only thing it falls a little short on but it definitely does what I bought it to do- make 120 neg scans that I can use to make editing decisions and on the web.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Photo Scanner The Epson V600 Photo Scanner does an excellent job. I have scanned color photos and the color reproduction is very good. The reason that I bought the scanner is mainly for scanning slides, as that is what I have shot in the past. I previously had a CanoScan FS272OU Film Scanner, and while it was satisfactory, it did not have an updated driver for Vista, and now I have Windows 7. The Epson scanner is great for slides. And, with Photoshop Elements 9, which comes with the scanner, you can do whatever touch up is needed. I have had a few slides scanned commercially in the past, with supposedly the best scanner available, and I believe the Epson scanner does as good a job. Also, the few slides that I had scanned commercially cost me more than the cost of the Epson scanner. So, it is a good buy. The scanner is well built, and controls are well located. It was easy to install and the instructions for doing so well written. The instructions for scanning slides were easy to follow. I have only a couple of minor complaints. The tab "C" on the film holder could be a little longer and the indentation on the scanner that it fits into a little deeper so that the film holder is better connected to the scanner, but as is works OK. The other is the location of the On/Off button. Its location at the rear of the scanner is difficult to reach in my environment for the scanner. I would recommend the scanner to any photographer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delighted with hardware I just replaced my 10 year old Epson scanner for a V600 photo and am amazed at the drastic improvement on all levels. I suppose 10 years is antique in digital time, but I was very happy with my first scanner. This does so much more and has so many more options I'm rescanning most of what I already had on file. I'm scanning slides and so far black and white film, and am very happy with the results. My only problem is with the scanning software that comes with the scanner. I use professional mode and have not been able to save my settings. Even working from the original preview scan, I have to reset everything each time. This is frustrating and time consuming. Of course there is other software available, but it would be nice if Epson's didn't do this as it's quite satisfactory in results. I gave the unit a 4 star instead of 5 due to the software difficultes and also I would like to see the manual in downloadable pdf format.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Scanner I used this scanner to process a few hundred old B&W photos and a few hundred old color photos. Some of the color photos were very faded etc. I was surprised that most of them came out much better than I ever expected. Being able to process three or four pictures at a time was a big time saver too. I also scanned about a thousand old slides (both 35mm and 127). The 35mm always produced good results. The 127 slides were not good quality to begin and they didn't get any better by scanning. Some of the 127 images were truncated by the scanner. I had to manipulate things a bit with some of them (about 10%), but most scanned fine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It does the job I have an Epson Workforce 2540 all-in-one and also the Perfection V600. There was very little difference in the scan quality between these two scanners. Color correction for accuracy is needed with both scanners. I was not impressed with Digital Ice because it created pixelation in some areas of the photos and took out some details as if they were dust. I do all of my editing in Photoshop Elements and don't need Digital Ice anyway. If you don't have a scanner, then the V600 is a good product at a good price. If you already have an Epson scanner, then there is no need to buy the V600 unless you need higher resolution and the ability to scan negatives and slides. Epson makes quality products and I have owned several Epson printers and scanners over the years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Photo Scanner I have enjoyed using the Epson photo scanner which has enabled me to store all of my negatives, slides and pictures to disc for preservation purposes. The only slight complaint is if you do not perfectly align the negatives or slides they will be cropped when scanning. Outside of that, a wonderful product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner I've been using my scanner for about a week now. I am very satisfied with it's simplicity and quality scans. I am scanning 35mm slides, 127 slides (2" x 2") , and 126 slides (instamatic). All are turning out very good using the automatic mode with the template. Sometimes I have to change the position of the 127 slides in the templete (sideways or upside down) to get a satisfactory image. I haven't used the photo shop or any other fix-it software because the results are good just with the automatic setting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Setup Just finished setting up the Epson V600 scanner and it was a snap to install. The first thing I did was scan a 645 negative that I had tried to scan with my old scanner but the results was not favorable. The image obtained from the V600 using the Digital ICE was outstanding considering the negative was 24 years old and contained lint and dust. I'm more than happy with the scanner. The only feature that I miss from my old Epson Perfection 3170 is that the V600 does not have a software smart panel that I'm able to find.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Scanner I purchased this scanner primarily because I had a large number of medium format negatives I needed to scan.( Previously, I had the V300, and it worked well, but couldn't handle the larger format negatives.) I have scanned almost 700 negatives so far, mostly B & W, 220, but I have also scanned a number of negatives of a format used from 1899-1984, which do not fit the holder supplied with the scanner. (The negatives are 1/4" wider than the supplied frame will hold.) I ended up devising a crude way to position the negatives directly on the glass bed, and got surprisingly good, clear, results, even though the edges of some of the negatives were slightly curled up. If I get to the point where I want to make large prints, I will make something to hold the negatives flat, and I will re-scan. So far everything has worked well for me, whether doing 35mm slides/film strips, or the larger format film negatives, plus copying photographic prints and text items.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner I quit using my old Epson 4490 scanner because it was no longer fully supported. I purchased the V600 and I find it easy to use. The buttons on the front are really handy to place a scan into your e-mail or to use it as a copy machine by sending scans directly to the printer. Set up was easy and everything worked right off. The 600 is really fast with the led illumination. No waiting for warm up. Nice machine!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good scanner; confusing instructions I've only had the scanner about 24 hours. My main reason for purchasing is to be able to scan 35 mm slides so that I can use the images in a PowerPoint presentation. It's actually working very well. The "confusing" instructions for 35mm slides are scattered throughout despcriptions of the 4 possible scanning modes; however, for the "Full Auto Mode" there is a special note in a box which says that 35mm slides can only be scanned in "Full Auto Mode." Since finding that bit of informaiton, scanning has been easy, and results are acceptable. The Users Manual has an index. However, it's not useful. There are only 2 entries for slides, and neither reference is the one about the requirement to scan 35 mm slides in "Full Auto Mode." Epson should review the entire Users Manual for accuracy and clarity.

I am a graphic artist and web designer so I need a high resolution scanner. The v600 had great write ups and I liked the idea of LED lights for their brilliance and life. The setup was easy and I was surprised to get Photoshop elements included. A nice touch, but I already have Photoshop 5.5. it integrated well into Photoshop and Omnipage OCR program. I'm looking forward to experimenting with all the features, especially the slide and negative scanning. The speed of the scans is also a big plus.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As a slide scanner lacks versatility I have been scanning slides in formats other than standard 35mm format from an older Yashika TLR (25.4mm x 25.4mm and 36mm x 36mm). In Auto Mode, this scanner does not seem to recognize a slide format other than the standard 35mm x 27mm so you have to resort to a manual and laborious procedure to scan a slide. In manual mode it does not allow you to adjust scan parameters whilst zoomed in on a slide. The user manual is so convoluted that you can't decipher a reasonable procedure to scan a slide (too many linked references as to what to do next - not step-wise) and alludes to icons (such as auto locate) that are nowhere to be found. This reviewer is a professional photogrammetrist and has supported the development of high-end scanners used by commercial and government agencies.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty Perfect! Received my Epson Perfection V600 one day after order + free shipping! 100% satisfied with B&H Photo. While I have yet to try any slides, my prints of various sizes and formats have been scanned perfectly. The color reproduction is spot on. And, the color reproduction enhancement function really fixes up the old faded color in my oldest prints. If I had to criticize, it would be that the saturation level is off a hair. No big deal as my Aperture software is doing an excellent job with photo finishing. With prints where I took very sharp exposures using my old Pentax and Nikon N6006 cameras, sharpening with my software was at a minimum. I am very satisfied with the quality and ease of use and setup with the V600. I am using a Mac and no issues with drivers or downloading software. I have not even tried to use any higher resolutions, save only going from 300dpi to 800dpi on some print scans. Looking forward to doing many more scans! Great product! Photoguy

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Review While the basic scanning capability is fine, the DIGITAL ICE technology, the only reason I bought this scanner as I already had a all-in-one Workforce 600 (WF600), was a disappointment. I had 3 very old (100yr) b&w photo's in need of digitizing and restoration, and the ICE technology took over 70 minutes (>1 hour) to scan each one and left it with smeared bands, and less restoration than I could do by hand. I have not tested the color restoration feature but I expect it to be capable similar to that of the WF600.

The V600 is very easy to use and I reallly like the use of LED's. I'm sure that they will last longer and they have no "start up time". I also like the fact that the cover locks in an UP position to facilitate getting whatever you want to scan/copy in the spot it should be. There is a very small learning curve when going from the 2450 to the 600. I've used it for scanning color slides (2X2 and 2 1/4 square, color negs, some very old BW prints and some items out of a book. All very easy and gave great quality. I strongly recommend this device to anyone who wants speed and QUALITY in a desktop unit.

It would be nice to be able to set a new "default" on where to save files (you currently have to change between each pdf).

Otherwise, love it and already have recommended to several people.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Color "okay", capture entire original, not OK When I put any photo up against the inner plastic frame and scan as suggested, as others have said it definitely does cut off a few pixels lengthwise on those two sides. Might not matter so much for someone who doesn't have 100+ y/o photos. Someone (somewhere) suggested using thick painter's tape to keep the photos from butting up too closely to the edges. Tedious, however it's handled. Color repro (with no retouching) is "okay", but not 100% accurate. Also, better software should include the option how to name/rename the file before/during scanning; and due to the numerous "wrong" scannings (and other issues) would be very helpful to know how the last file was named, also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner Have the scanner for three days and love it. I purchased V600 to copy 50 Year old slides and it works great. It brings back such memories for my siblings and I. Yes I would highly recommend this product. I purchased the scanner from B&H Photo NY. I could not find it locally in Fort Lauderdale.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good, versatile scanner Epson scanning products are outstanding, wouldnt want to use any other brand after having used epsons for so many years. The Epson V600 is light, versatile and very portable. It scans most things really well automatically but for those who are perfectionists, it offers several options to give the user full control over the output. I use it to scan photos, negatives, slides and documents, it performs very well on any of these.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Much better than expected I have some experience with scanners, this is not my first one. I have owned other flatbed scanners, I own a film scanner and I wanted this one just to give me the ability to scan 6x6 medium format film. I am very impressed with the quality of the scans, the scanner delivers the resolution that the camera was able to get. A full format 6x6 scan will give you a 50MP scan that will have a great resolution. The software is easy to use so I am now using this scanner as my main tool and only used the dedicated 35mm scanner for the huge resolution scans that I need once in a while. Overall a great product. I also like the digital ICE functionality, however be prepared that it will double your scan time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner I appreciate my new photo scanner. I have done well with the automated processes. I have successfully scanned family photos from the 1880's and negatives from as early as 1919. I have not used the enhanced capabilities yet, but I am hopeful that I will be able to save photos and negatives that are more damaged and require better tool than the automated processes provide. I have used the software that was provided, as well as, "Silverfast 8" software that I have also purchased based on other reviews about this scanner. Sometimes the "organic" software works best and sometimes "Silverfast 8" works best depending on the object being scanned. Because of my success, I would recommend this photo scanner to those wanting to scan old photos and negatives using the automated features. After more experience, I expect to be able to give this product a 5 star rating base on the cost of the scanner and a good quality scan.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner! Pros: I love that the software detects separate objects and automatically selects and scans them into separate files. This is great when scanning lots of photos for family trees. The DMax is very good. Thanks to Epson for listing that info; Canon won't release it on their scanners, even on request. Good support for Windows 7. I like that the lid holds itself up both at 45 and 90 degrees. Most brands don't offer that except on all-in-one models. Cons: What cons? None yet?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does the Job I bought this scanner because I had a lot of very old photographs from the 1800's that I wanted to save on my computer. It took time to learn what setting to use, but I was very satisfied with the scanned picture. I have many photo negatives which are over sized and the scanner doesn't do the job that I want. It breaks up the picture in two images. I still have to work on the best way to scan these negatives.

It does a great job of scanning negatives - even individually cut negatives. The color correction and dust correction features work very well. Even the feature to correct for scratches works well. So far it is working well for my purposes. I will be using it soon for scanning old color slides and hope it works well for that as it has been for color negatives.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner, BUT Have the V600 about 3 weeks now and it is a superb scanner if you only scan 35mm film strips or 35mm mounted slides. The 120 / 220 film holder is badly designed and useless for mounted slides. The scanner also does not scan 4x5 sheet film. Would not recommend for scanning 120/220 mounted slides or 4x5 film.

The main scanner bed works well. I mis-read the specs and thought it would scan 8 1/2 x 14 inches, but it does not (my fault not the scanner's). It looks so long that you might think it would but it doesn't. Anyway, all-in-all, I like it and I'm glad I purchased it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality for the price So far, I've scanned one very large print, 1 negative, and about 1200 slides. The quality seems good for the price although I haven't used alternative scanners to compare. The slides ranged back to nearly 70 years old. Most of them retained their color although some have become discolored and some were overexposed to begin with. For the slides, following another reviewers recommendations, I used 48-bit color, 2400 dpi resolution and checked the unsharp mask and Color Restoration boxes. I have mixed emotions about the color restoration. Sometimes it improved things and sometimes I was dissatisfied with the result. In general, I felt that with the box unchecked, there was too much blue, but with it checked, there was too much yellow. But, for the most part, I left it checked. I also tried higher dpi settings but found there was no increase in quality of the result and it just made larger files. Overall, I think you get really good quality scans for a good price. It does take up a fair amount of desk space. I also had some trouble with it dropping communications with my computer so that I had to restart the software and turn off and on the scanner. Mildly irritating but it could be because it was going through my docking station.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner but NO 64-bit drivers I have owned this scanner for almost eight years now and have scanned thousands of pictures and documents. It does a great job but I scan my pictures into Photoshop Elements which is now a 64-bit program. The Epson Twain driver for this scanner is still a 32-bit driver so it is now incompatible with Photoshop. I had to buy a third party program (VueScan) in order to scan my pictures directly into the Photoshop Elements editor. Come on Epson! If you are still selling this ancient scanner, please create a 64-bit version of the Twain driver.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High-quality, low price I bought the V600 to replace an aging V500 that would occasionally lock up and require a restart of services. I loved the quality and ease of use of the V500 and the V600 is basically identical; I scan to high-resolution TIFF format as my default. The only thing I'd love to see offered is for the software to split multiple reflective images (photos as opposed to negatives or transparencies) into separate outputs. More info on that...when I scan negatives or transparencies (slides) and I pre-scan, the software separates the images into multiple files when scanning. That seems like it would be easy to do with prints as well...it might make some mistakes, but it would provide a much faster way to scan five or six photos in one pass without having to cut them up later to save as separate files.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality of Scanner I have had this scanner for more than 3 years and it works well. I like the ability to scan multiple photos at once. I use the professional mode and like the ability to use color correction on older photos. I also use it frequently to scan documents for business and personal use. The only issue that I have had with it was with it’s incompatability with Windows 10. It would not store scanned documents at all. Epson support helped me to change the scanner properties thru the Windows 10 properties to run in a compatability mode (Windows Vista). It performs well now. The first call to support linked me with a tech who I could not understand due to his accent. I called back later (I did not complain to him) and got someone that I could understand. She completely understood my issue, took control of my PC and directed me thru the corrective process. That was a much better experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding personal/home business scanner since 2010! I purchased the V600 back in 2010 to scan photos, positive and negative slides as well as create PDF documents of my personal and business records. This unit has made it through thousands of high-resolution scans, PDFs and continues to deliver to this day. I keep the drivers up to date which has helped sustain its compatibility through three (3) laptops I have owned over the last eight years. Mind you, there are most robust scanners which Epson manufactures and I dream of owning one day. But for total value for a personal use/home business function, the V600 is an ideal solution!

HIGHLY recommended. My color slides and negatives are being scanned as I write this, with already spectacular results, and I will sleep much easier knowing they are safely stored. If you are only scanning to disk for viewing on a monitor, or making 4x6 or 5x7 prints, the Epson software does a good job. But if you are scanning for large format printing (A3+, 13 x 19 inch) as I am, then I would also strongly recommend the purchase Vuescan from Hamrick software. I've used it for a couple years now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scanning 35mm Slides and More I bought this over a year ago and finally got around to doing what I need to do, which is start scanning a few thousand 35mm slides taken from about 1970 to 1990. After studying the manual and experimenting, I settled on a set of scanning parameters and decided to use the TIFF file format for master copies. I used 24 bit color, 2400 dpi, unsharp mask: low, color restoration, and dust removal:high. The result is I scan 4 slides at a time in the holder provided. Scan takes 2 min and 15 sec for 4 slides and the result is TIFF files of 18 MB each with slide resolution of 2040 X 3070. DIGITAL ICE was not used because of much longer scan times with little benefit because I was very careful to remove most dust and was very careful with cleanliness.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for money; continuous improvement ideas for 5 stars I've purchased 2 V600's and scanned over 25,000 photos; I wore the first one out only through developing too many scratches on the glass. This is a great scanner for the money and can handle most of the film types and photos I've run across. For standard point-and-shoot film, its resolution capture is adequate and is my go-to choice (even considering I have a classic film scanner). If the following details were addressed, I would consider it a 5 star scanner for my situation: 1. The 35mm film trays can't hold curled film that well. Badly curled film will touch the glass and cause newton rings. With standard frame sizes, it would be good to have a 35mm film tray that has cross bars between each frame to help flatten the film. 2. It would be great if the 35mm film holders could hold 4 strips of 4 frame film. The tray was designed to hold 2 strips of 6 frames, but almost every 35mm film strip I've come across has been cut in frames of 4. I believe the machine could hold 4 strips of 4 frames, though I could see creating a film holder rigid enough with that large of an opening to be difficult. 3. It would be great it they made an adapter or holder for 110 film and disk film. The machine is capable and I made custom adapters to accommodate these film types. 4. It would be helpful to have a software button to turn on and off the lens lights; this really helps show any dust on the glass to show when and where it needs cleaned. 5. It would be helpful and more productive if the scanner covered the entire glass area. The scan area cuts off about 1/8" on the top and right side, and nearly 1/4" on the left and bottom side. In trying to capture every details of old family photos, this is unacceptable, so the photo has to be positioned manually away from the corners that assist with keeping it straight. It also doesn't allow 4 4x6" photos to be scanned at the same time; the all fit on the glass perfectly, but you lose the edges. 6. Similar to the glass, the auto crop feature seems to crop a bit too much off negatives and photos. I've resorted to selecting all scan areas manually to get every inch of the photo. 7. The color restoration feature is pretty good, but it seems to be slightly heavy on contrast by about 5-8 ticks on the scale. To keep whites from being too bright, and darks being too dark, I typically have to manually widen the exposure scale ever so slightly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scanner is great; software had fixable issues The scanner is great and the software is finally working well. At first, I thought the problem was because I already had the Epson Scan software installed from an all-in-one printer I have. I thought this “new” software version was fighting with the older version (however unlikely that seemed). The newly-installed Epson Scan software worked fine with images but would not scan to a PDF. Thought this could be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling; nope. I’m no computer geek, but I can fix minor problems, and I know when to call for professional help. When uninstalling and reinstalling the software failed to solve the problem, I called Epson technical support and spent two hours on the phone with Level 2 support. Epson technical support person was very patient, having me repeat everything I’d already done. He sent a special registry cleaner, which I ran; didn't help. Then he said that one of Microsoft’s updates did something to cause this. (If I had called Microsoft technical support, they would have said it was Epson’s fault.) On my Windows 10 laptop, the fixes were: (1) under Device Properties, on the text tab, uncheck “searchable” and (2) Epson Scan must be “run as administrator” every time. Now that I’m past those problems, I’m very happy with the scanner and the software.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive Purchased the flatbed scanner to scan old negatives, positives, and prints. It does a nice job. Easy to install and use. Downloaded most recent driver for Windows 8.1. Like the software, some learning curve, but by using and experimenting easy to get very good results. Lots of tips and tutorials online for this scanner also. Do not be fooled by reviews older than a couple of years. The newer drivers seem to have helped with resolution and contrast problems reported in early reviews. Worth the price if you want to digitize old photos, negatives, or slides.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What about Mac?? I've had scanners for years--back to the old hp SCSI Scanjet and Windows 3.1. Recently switched to a Mac and bought this because it was recommended for Macs but the software is ancient and not fully compatible with Mac OS X El Capitan. Very disappointing. There were other manufacturers' scanners I would have preferred because of features but eliminated them because they were not fully compatible with the lates Mac OS. Thought the Epson was. It "will" work, but not optimally. Have not tried all the features yet. I would recommend it to Windows users, maybe not for Mac users.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It does 2.25 negatives This scanner works very well on 2.25 x 2.25 black and white negatives I had from the family archives. Most only do 35mm, so this was the one I needed. I had an older model Epson scanner so this was an easy hook up and run.

Scanning twelve negative frames at once is fast and easy. It is the most efficient and reasonably priced scanner I have seen. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Scanner I bought my Epson V600 from Epson.com and got it on 8/26/14. It hasn't given me any problems. The scanner has provided me with excellent photo, slide and photo transparency scans. The only bad thing about it is that it will only, at this time, scan letter size documents but other than that it is great for transferring old photos into a digital album.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Product, very bad instructions I purchased this over a month ago and just could not get it to work properly.

There are still a lot of features I need to try but at least I have the basics thanks to YouTube.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Scanner I bought this scanner to create JPG files for more than 2,200 family 35 MM color slides recently discovered in my mother-in-law's basement that dated back as far as 1956! The finished product is truly outstanding and I recommend this scanner for projects of this type. The software also allowed me to successfully remove both scratches and dust from the slides to create beautiful files. We made BR disc copies of these files and have given them to other family members as Christmas presents! I later used the scanner to copy 4x6 photographs of an European trip made in 2000 with similar success. I highly recommend the V600 scanner to everyone considering projects of this type. It was money well spent!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 - 35mm Negative Memories Scanning my boat-load of 35mm film negatives to digital has been on my "wish list" for a long time. So when I retired, it was first on my list to start doing. I did a bunch of reading and decided to go with this scanner for multiple reasons. First it can do multiple scans at one time. Second it has a lot of automatic features to do the work for you. Third was an attractive price. Yes, there are models above this, but would I really use those features. When is good enough, good enough. I was not looking for "perfection" and not going to sell any of my scans in an art feast. After doing my research, and talking to a friend whose a photo guru, this seems like the best pick. It was not a hard setup, and the worst issue was realizing to REMOVE the part under the lid for scanning 35mm negatives (the instructions weren't fully clear on that). It took about a day to figure out the best settings to use on scanning my negatives and I am very pleased with the results. This will keep my busy for years. Other options were scanners that were made for only scanning 35mm negatives, but they did this one frame at a time - not a great way if you have many to do. You have to take the time to figure out how you are going to use the scanner to make your decision. The Internet is great for information, but also it can be information overload. So after taking time to really think it through, the Epson came in as the winner and has been rated as a top performer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High-end performance at mid-level price! This scanner is not the first EPSON Scanner I have had, and really shopped around doing comparisons to make sure I was getting the best bang for my buck, with out compromising quality in output or build. I just had my previous EPSON Scanner make it's last trip across and back the image field! It was used for many projects, but decided is was time to retire . . . I had many different brands in the past and truly put my faith in the EPSON name. Dollars to hours of service, the EPSON Scanners have proven to the the 'Pit-Bull' of image capture device producers. I would highly recommend the purchase of this equipment! I gave it 4, not 5 stars as I have not yet used the film and negative scanner on this model, but if it is anything like my previous model it will be top-notch! Oh ya, it looks great too!! . . .Styl'in!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent scanner! I've used the V600 scanner to make copies of my father's WWII letters and documents (over 1000 and still counting) as well as his pictures, negatives and slides from the 1930's thru the 1960's. The scanner has performed very well with all of the images and documents; I've been very impressed with its flexibility. The fact that it also comes with OCR software has made it much easier to search documents that were typed or published; that has been a big plus. I would recommend this to anyone.

I then reinstalled the file which did not work so trying again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Photo Scanner The V600 photo scanner I purchase was to replace my old Epson Perfection 4490 photo scanner that I bought ten years ago, that just started to malfunction. I had such good experience with 4490, that I bought V600 to replace it. The designs are very similar, with suitable updates, but exactly the same size and foot print. They are so similar in size, that I slipped the old 4490 into the packaging material of V600, and sent it back to Epson for recycling (for free). I have not used the V600 much, but expect the same good expereince I had with 4490.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Copy editing As with any product purchased for a singular purpose, you want it to satisfy your needs, both ergonomically and functionally. This unit is lacking in location of on/off switch and clear precise cropping lines to satisfy my needs. Others may find this of little bother. I like to quickly crop within documents to extract only what I need. You have to go through too many steps to achieve this. Other than these small concerns, the Epson is useful and I would, grrrr, recommend it to others (after they upgrade functions).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Scanner First I'll start this off by saying I've had four Epson inkjet printer and really enjoyed them all. But this scanner is one of the worst I've ever used. There seems to be dust on the lamp or lens. I've cleaned the glass bed over and over but the same little swirl of lint always appears in the same place. I don't know what the technical term is but there seems to be numerous pixels that always come out white. Even though the price is reasonable don't waste you money on the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner. Sorry Epson, but I have to be honest.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly Perfect I wanted a better scanner than my dependable older Minolta Dimage for slides and negatives, and my all-in-one printer/scanner had died just before we moved to a new home. So far, this unit has done a wonderful job, except it keeps adding a flaw on 35mm slides at one location, but the glass is clean, so I cannot figure out why. Fortunately it is at the edge of the negative holder, so if I just move the strip down a bit, it works fine. I do like the very high resolution that is available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfection in Scanning I recently purchased the Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner for my home office, I currently have the V500 at work and love the LED technology that lets me scan without the warm-up wait. The quality of the scans are outstanding. My primary purpose is for scanning film, 120 mm, 35 mm negatives and many, many 35 mm slides. The holders and transparency scanning capabilities of this scanner are really as the name says "Perfection" I have very little I have to do to a slide or to scanned film to clean them up or correct color, the scanner takes care of most of this for me making the overall process of scanning years worth of slides and film to a digital format to preserve our family memories a relatively quick and easy process.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 3-½ Years Later I definitely like it. It’s reliable. Warm-up time is short. Colors come out well. Can scan 4 or more photos and each is automatically separated into its own file. Automatically straightens each image (well, most of them) when the master is put in at an angle. Switching to or from the mode for scanning slides is not too difficult, and the scanning results are very good. Speed for up to 300 dpi is acceptable. What I don’t care for is that it doesn’t scan all the way to the edges of the bed, and it doesn’t always detect the edge of a piece of paper correctly; it's slow in scanning with higher resolutions (but does a very good job); if you have to scan a large image in two parts, the greyshades in the two parts don’t always match where the two parts overlap; I’m not impressed with the ICE dust removal capability (perhaps I don’t know how to use ICE.); and the cover is hinged on the short dimension, so you can only lift it in an area with lots of vertical clearance.

This is a fantastic unit at a competitive price. Buy one, you'll love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner I have had this scanner for 11 months and am getting pretty efficient digital conversion. I have done over 17,00 photos so far, mostly 35 mm slides but some photos. In most cases where I have photos and the original negative it is easier to use the photo than the negative for a couple reasons but primarily a "curling" problem with negatives but partially because many of my negatives are not in strips of 4. I give the unit a 4 because the original unit developed a focus issue. Epson replaced the unit but forgot the FedEx return shipping tag but they did get it squared away.

I recently scanned a 35mm Tri-X B&W negative at 4800 ppi (16-bit) and enlarged it to 11x17 on my Epson R2000 printer. The result was remarkably good. I just wish the V600 accepted 4x5 film, like the 2450 did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact, light and ready to use. This scanners has the perfect size for a small desk hile having great features for the photography enthusiast. The fact that you can scan 35 mm and Medium Format film makes this scanner a great purchase for the money. Software is pretty easy to learn and use. Great for scanning prints for archiving in digital form.

So far I have scanned old 4x6 prints, many of them faded from 40 years ago, and the results are great. I have also scanned 35mm slides with equally good results. 6x6 negatives and some color negatives are next.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Bit Better Than a Basic Photo Scanner I bought this photo scanner to digitize 35mm slides going back to the 1960s. There is a definite learning curve with the V600...and the directions provided are a bit hard to decipher. Nonetheless, was pleased with the quality of the images that the scanner produces. I figure that the cycle time for copying four 35mm images is about six minutes from the time one set of slides is installed and the next set of four is ready to be copied. I would say that is an acceptable production rate but I would be happier if the process was faster.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great - until it doesn't. I bought my first V600 about two and a half years ago. I was very, very satisfied until a few weeks ago when I started having problems. Sometimes it would scan negatives and slides and sometimes it wouldn't. (Scans of paper photographic images always worked perfectly.) After fighting with it for at least a couple months, I was told by my computer guy that there was a problem with the rear projection bulb -- or something like that -- but that it was hopeless to repair it because it was out of warranty. To cut a long story short, I opted to buy a second one. Now I'm waiting to see if this one does the same the same...

I have been waiting for something like this to hit the market for some time. I have scanned hundreds of negatives and many slides. I am even considering rescanning the old photographs I have already scanned using my printer. That is how good this scanner works for me. In my opinion there is no comparison to anything I have done from home. This scanner has paid for itself - just with the negatives - several times over.

By trial and error I think I can make it do what I bought it for, but that took a lot of trial and error, and I have no information about other things it might be able to do. For example, there is no explanation of the function of the four button on the front of the unit. There is no need for a 100-page manual, but a straight forward 10-page manual would greatly enhance the unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great scanner for my old negatives I bought it to scan my old 35mm negatives. The scans are pretty good, although I do have to change the colors for many of the scans and since many of the negatives are somewhat old, I have to remove scratches in the photoshop. The software with the scanner is not that great. Also, I like the professional setting where you can chose the resolution and which photo to scan. You can put multiple 35mm negatives in the provided utility and the scanner does a pretty good job in separating each individual photo. Overall, does a pretty good job. I would recommend to anyone who is scanning the old negatives for personal/home use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As a photo/film scan it's great vs document scanner... I bought the V600 start digital conversion and restoration project of Family photos and film. I have not started this project in earnest. The scanning app that I am using is Nuance Paperport 14. Before I start with photos and film I wanted to make sure to get accustomed to using it as a document scanner first. Note: I also have a HP Photosmart multi-use printer, scanner, copier. Getting back to the V600, the document scanning (Office Mode) is somewhat cumbersome. I didn't know I first needed to close out Preview (if you use Preview) first which erases preview image. It does not erase "the image", you then Scan. This just does not seem intuitive. HP allows to see a preview and while on the same window you select scan and you're done! In addition, once you Scan you need to close the Scan window and you'll see your scanned image populate the Paperport 14 desktop. It does not automatically close and populate when the scan completes. I believe this is part of the learning curve and the benefits of the V600 for my photo/film project will override the shortcomings as a document scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner Had this one for a couple of years. At some point in the software upgrade process, certain options became non-functional, such as all the buttons on the front of the unit. Those buttons do absolutely nothing at this point. Additionally, the 'scan to pdf' option uses the barest of options, meaning that if you want to scan 10 pages, you end up with 10 different pdf files. While all this worked when I originally bought the unit, they rapidly failed within the year. Does do reasonable quality document scans if you launch the app in it's most basic form.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It is REALLY Perfection My main reason for buying the V600 was to digitally archive our slides and photos from the late 1960's thru the 1990's. The V600 and the included software are just what the doctor ordered for this task. Simple but powerful, some of the slides and photos actually look better once scanned into my computer than the originals. I would highly recommend this scanner to anyone needing to digitize their photo and/or slide memories.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner This machine is just perfect. I had the scanner up and running in just a few minutes. Everything is very intuitive, you almost don't need a manual, although it is good to have for some of the finer details. Some reviews I read before buying the scanner said that they had trouble setting it up, but I am 75 and had no trouble so maybe these people have some other problem with Epson. If there was a software problem everybody would have the same problem. They may have been trying to install it on a computer with too little disk space or too little RAMM. When you download the software it automatically checks for the latest driver, but Just in case, I went to Epson's web site, found the scanner and it recommended a special Download for Microsoft. I downloaded that too. You can do just about everything in "Home Mode". If you need finer adjustments, "Professional Mode" takes care of them quite easily. I like the fact that you can scan multiple prints at the same time and they come out as individual scans, just leave about a quarter inch between them. Slides and negs. are just as easy. The only negative is the film/slide holder is very flimsy and I doubt it will hold up over prolonged use, but I guess replacements are available. Digital Ice works fine on color, almost no degradation in sharpness...too bad it dosen't work in B&W. The copy mode is great. Just have your printer tuned on, press "copy" button on front of machine, get preview, check what type of copy you want, press scan and and your printer will print out a perfect copy...almost easier than a dedicated copy machine. I have an Epson printer so maybe that's why it was so flawless, but it should work on other printers just as well. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is the OCR program. The ABBYY FineReader 9.0 Sprint is straight out of the 90,s. It is a very limited program with almost no formatting tools In 1 mode they want you so sign up for a subscription to do that function and they strongly suggest you upgrade to their professional mode for almost 3/4 the price of the scanner itself. The best thing to do is to scan and convert the text into Microsoft Word, copy and past it into a page layout program or OpenOffice and format it there. But watch out, it shows it is scanning, but watch the scan button, if it changes press save or else it will keep scanning multiple copies. Epson should find a different OCR program so they don't ruin a good reputation for a Great scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Second Epson Scanner My Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner, that I have had since July of 2004 was starting to freeze periodically during scans recently. I checked the reviews of current Epson scanners and based on those reviews, I purchased the Perfection V600 Photo scanner. I expected it to scan better than my 3170 but it does not based on my comparison of scans of 10 different pictures using the same settings on both. The only feature that I like about the V600 is that I only have to raise the cover half way up. On the 3170, it had to be raised a full 90 degrees. I had higher hopes for the V600.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from worth it After a day's use I love this scanner. I was able to scan multiple photos in one scan. Dust removal and color correction is very good. I have not scanned slides or negatives yet. The scanning process allows for many levels of customization and is executed through an easy to navigate dialogue box. There is a copy of Adobe Photo Elements 9 included. The scanner's software includes a OCR software, ABBY V. 6 Sprint, that allows you to convert scanned documents into editable Word or Excel documents. There is a "Copy" function that allows you to copy a document that prints through your printer. The "Scan to Email" blows, you can only scan to MS Outlook. At the highest resolution, 1200dpi, the scan takes much longer than at say 300dpi, but, that is to be expected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great scanner for the price I bought this scanner about 2 years ago and have used it heavily doing over 8,000 film scans (mostly 35mm negatives). For the price, I was extremely pleased with this product - I did need to get it replaced at almost a year, but it was under warranty (it was getting a green/red line down each scan). The refurbished one they sent me worked great for about a year and has now started to act up a little. I'm guessing I've probably have used this product more than most people would and not overly upset on this at the price point. Hence the 4 versus 5 stars. The first thing to learn is to REMOVE the panel on the top cover (it slides off) if you want to scan negatives - the instructions were not very clear on this, but I quickly figured this out. The ICE for scratch and dust works well - I still spray my film with compressed air before putting it on the flatbed. The other thing I wish they would have included in the instructions were looking for "Newton Rings" that might show up on some of the scans. At first I thought they were finger prints, but later researched it and it has something to do with the curve of some of the negatives. There are some ways to correct this - the easiest way that I found worked ok was putting the negatives in upside down in the holder (then inverting the picture using the S/W).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and fast Purchased this scanner based on reviews and I have been very pleased. Mostly I need to copy slides, and the V600 will do 4 of them at a time, but it creates a separate record for each one. Color quality is excellent and I have not needed to clean them up. I have also scanned some photos, both color and black & white. Both have scanned well, though I was a little surprised that the black & white photos copied very well in the Home mode, using the "greyscale" setting, instead of the "black & white" setting. Some photos needed adjustment, and the Home mode worked very nicely. Also, some of the old color photos needed correction and cropping, but the "Professional" mode gave me choices that cleaned and improved the photos very well. I can fill the scanning surface with several photos, keeping a space between them, and once again, each photo creates a separate file, even though several are on the scanner surface at the same time. This makes the scanning go quickly. I highly recommend the V600 if you want excellent results and the ability to correct flaws on your photos. I have not yet used the scanner for negatives, but expect to see excellent results, based on the quality I've seen so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast and efficient scanner - documents and photos and slides I bought this scanner to scan over 10,000 slides I've amassed since the 60's (1960). Being an avid photographer, most of my work was made in slide material (a lost art), but I needed to modernize and convert those to digital. Epson's Perfection V600 made easy work of the conversion and added some element of restoration of color and removal of dust and streaks. Overall, I am happy and impressed with the quality of build and efficiency of scanning. Everything I needed was included.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null This scanner is easy quick. The flatbed is simple and I can scan film negatives in record time. This scanner is perfect for various size negatives. If you want to convert your analog film to digital and cannot afford a drum scanner, this is the perfect solution.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New but good so far We just got this scanner, but it installed easily and is WAY faster than our older Epson 3170. The old one worked well but this is an upgrade with at least as many possibilities. Will know more after more testing, but so far so good! Feels solid and slightly lighter than the old one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This scanner does everything I need! Every print, negative, document I challenge my Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner with seems to improve them exponentially! I bought a refurbished unit, and so far I've noticed no difference from a brand new unit. The scans are crisp, and the included software provides every control I've needed. Granted, the scans sometimes take up to 20 or more minutes, but that isn't a concern to me; while good quality, crisp scans are.

The 2480 is still working well with my old Mac and is dedicated to 3-D scanning - plants, creatures, military medals, rocks and mineral etc. The V600 has been used in "Home Mode" only and it is it is easy to use and the results are excellent. Soon I will be learning to scan 35 mm slldes which will supplement my dedicated film scanner. Epson "tools" are outstanding!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 performmance Simply I have been quite impressed with this Epson scanner! Some individuals reporting problems with the supplied software but for me along with the Adobe Element software I have yet found that to be the case.I have been able to make high quality scans from the start,and the software fairly intuitive in its use! I have also found as of late a number pieces of peripheral equipment arriving with cheap trashy electrician cords and connections,not the case in this unit . All the cords themselves are also more than adequate in length. Very responsive,smooth, and quite in operation. Results are excellent! Only issue be sure your computer components are up to the task!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good for Amateurs I bought this scanner to create digital images of a lifetime of family photographs. For that use it is acceptable. But it makes very poor quality scans of film negative - the film holder is not adequate for holding the negative flat and cannot accommodate various formats, only strips. The resulting image is of much better quality when scanning the actual photo. Scanning old black and white photos is problematic as the scanner often interprets the photo as a document, saving it as a bmp, not jpg. Also, it often interprets the area of image as being different than actual in trimmed photos - oval or round - further cropping the image. Even superimposing the photo on a clean sheet of paper does not remedy this problem. However, it is fast - 75 photos an hour scanned and edited in Photoshop. The ability to "read" the actual print size is a plus as it then doesn't require cropping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All-in-one Scanner Pros The Scanner works as specified. It is easy to use on photo prints & documents. Cons Instructions are Poor and not complete. The Film Holders & Slide Holders are poorly made and could break easily if not very careful. Some of these items should be made better as this scanner is not an inexpensive scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson printers and scanners... this is only my second Epson scanner since early 2000. my son needed a scanner so I gave him my Epson 4490, which has operated flawlessly since I got it. My Epson 1430 Photo printer does things I could not deo in a darkroom in 5 hours back when I did film photography and is the finest photo printer I have ever seen. the scanner does a wonderful job on photos, negative film and slices and takes only minutes to process and then print and I can do a weeks' worth of photo work in maybe 2 hours sitting in the comfort of my own home. Oh, never, Ever buy anything other than Epson ink or you will regret it seriously and eventually ruin an Epson printer... Superb products..!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most Sincerely, Haggiez

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Product Easy to use Three complaints that I have. The plastic tray that holds the 35mm negatives should have a hinge so that it can swing down and not snap in, it does not always "snap in" very easily. Also application on the desktop should stay open until all the rolls are done, it keeps closing in full auto mode and not in custom mode. This requires minimizing all the windows to scan another 8 negatives which is kind of a pain. Third get people that speak English for customer support, I called once and pretty much came to the conclusion that I was on my own to figure this product out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does a Lot but there is a learning curve! The quality of what it scans is quite high. The instructions on how to scan non standard negatives such as 110 and 126 leave something to be desired. It's really a hit and miss experimentation. Overall, I very much like the scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Scanner Ever! I purchased this scanner to scan old negatives and slides of my family. I was surprised that this scanner included a free copy of Adobe Elements 9. The scanner has selections for getting rid of dust particles and for restoring color. In a few cases, the slides were bad enough that the restoration of color made them look worse. But there were very few exceptions. Most were fantastic. I also scanned slides for my husbands family and restored the color. The family had them made in to a cd slide show and all enjoyed them and were amazed at the color. I would have a difficult time replacing this as it's performed beyond what I expected. The more "restoring" you choose, the longer it takes for the scan to process. I don't have the highest memory so I'm sure with a newer computer it would be faster. But it is well worth any wait to see the results!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as Advertised I have been looking for a scanner which can do slides, negatives, photos, and documents . . . EASILY! So far I've done over 1,000 slides (some of which are almost 50 years old) and negatives without a hitch. Color correction is pretty good; however, with software on my computer the final result is very good. The additional software allows me to correct spots, creases, and defects. I have a long, long way to go; however, I am confident that I'll get through the whole process without problems. One thing: You have to be patient as this is not the fastest process. The scanner will do four slides at a time which takes a minute or two. I settled on the 600 dpi resolution which gives me a photo from 1.5-3.0 MB which is about the same size taken by a good digital camera.

None of the Epson provided software can communicate either to scan or to test the scanner. I might be sending this back if I can't get it resolved.

I hope it last longer than the last two Epson scanners. I'm disappointed that the scanners don't last long. I own Epson perfection 3170 and V-500 photo scanners. Neither one is working now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfection V600 Exceeded my expectations as I only needed a scanner to temporarily replace my 836XL. Although not as large a scanning area the results are superb.

Software is simple but full featured and installed without any issues under Windows 7 Pro.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Scanner I have hundreds of negatives, positives (slides) and photos that I would like to put on CDs or DVDs, or in albums, or even make 8 x 10 photos for framing. Also, many Ektachrome slides taken around 50 yiears ago have now deteriorated to almost a monochrome brownish-orange, not suitable for any use. I had a good film scanner (no photos), but it had no features like adjusting resolution or color restoration. When I changed from Windows XP to Windows 700 and Vista, it no longer worked. A friend told me that he bought an Epson V600 about a year earlier that would scan negatives, slides, and photos and that it had features like selecting resolution and color correction. After researching it and viewing comments, I ordered one. It had one defect in that there was a tiny white spot, apparently under the glass where it could not be reached to clean. Epson was very helpful in troubleshooting, and sent a replacement along with instructions to return the defective one. I tested it in all modes, including restoring the color on an Ektachrome slide, and I was very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend it to anyone. One addtional comment. When my friend recommended it, I researched it and noted the price had gone up something like 20%, maybe a little less. I decided to think it over, and the next day decided I would go ahead and order it. I found that the price had gone up overnight close to another 8% or so. It is still worth it, and it was just a little over 1/2 what I paid for my original scanner that had no editing featuires and would not scan photos.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant Scanner I bought this scanner about a month ago. Since then I have been scanning 35mm slides and negs, 2.25 transparencies and negs 4-6 hours every day. (Retirement is grand!). The scanner has performed flawlessly, producing beautiful digital files every time. I have not used the digital Ice feature nor the auto color adjustments, so I can't speak to them. I found the sharpening feature to be over sharpened on the pre-set "Manual" setting, but have lovely results on the "Low" setting. I was a professional photographer for 30+ years with images in multiple stock photo agencies, so I have a collection of images to scan that's going to take me some considerable length of time (don't worry . . . I don't plan to scan them all). If this scanner continues to perform as well as it has so far, I will be very happy. Actually, if it doesn't last through 30,000 scans, I would probably buy another one just like it. At this price point, it would absolutely be worth it. My only complaint and the reason for not giving 5 stars, is that the instructions are so poor. The "owner's manual/ instructions" is so convoluted and difficult to follow that it's worthless to all intents and purposes. If it weren't for U-Tube videos, I think I would still be figuring out how to use this scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works fantastic! I am a genealogist and previously had owned 2 AIO printers in two years because the unit(s) couldn't handle the minimum amount of copying & printing I was doing. Then I inherited 15 boxes of family photos & documents. When the 3rd AIO broke down after a marathon of scanning, I researched and bought the Epson scanner. It works perfectly! I was able to scan 400 photos in a day without one single problem! There are 4 different scan choices from "just push the button" to professional grade. Choice of labeling the photos and where to store them, automatic color-correction, clean-up options, cropping of photos. The scanned photos and documents have come out clean and sharp. I couldn't be happier with the Epson results and work ability. The unit's size is also just right for storing on the average bookcase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner I use this scanner to mainly convert Black and White negatives, color negatives and color positive film in to digital images. I have small size film through 120 roll film and have also scanned strips through 4 x 5 in cut film when the image allows me to crop it in a panorama manner. I was amazed at the ability of the color restoration ability to correct off color and faded Ektachrome slides. The Digital Ice works quite well to correct blemishes including removal of some hair and dust from the images. I am very pleased with the ability. Only wish it could scan 4 inch wide film. That would allow me to work with 4x5 film on the scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from meets expectation I bought the V600 after thoroughly reviewing all the other scanners in its price range. I bought it principally because it had Digital ICE as part of the hardware. It performs as expected. Like all scanners in this price range the biggest issue is the limited availability to adjust the image quality. The V600 is the best at this that I have used. I was slightly disappointed that I could not individually adjust multiple images when I wanted to scan them together, but that is not a deal breaker. Lastly, I wish someone would teach Epson how to write an instruction manual. It is the worst I have ever used.

However, now that it is working pretty durn well I love this scanner. My wife's parents lived the last of their 11 years with us. The old fella was 102 when he passed.

Most of the pics have not been seen by family in 30 40 years so they are all thrilled and I am a hero - thanks to this V600 scanner. It just works wonders separating pics all put on the screen together and plotting them in a folder individually neat as you please. Thank you Epson for this great machine. If it were to die I would get another right away.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null To date, over 2000 b/w , color negatives, 35 m/m slides have passed through my v600 scanner, and results are excellent, in many cases where very faded slides are scanned, they are almost magically restored to their true original colors by only selecting and pressing the "Color Restoration" Button. The "Backlight Correction" with it's three options are also a plus. My only unfavorable comment is the difficulty in opening scanned images in Photoshop Elements, and also the lack of a OSR program for this scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null The V600 is easy to use. Photos do not to have to be strait when scanning, V600 automatically straitens them for you; also, you are able to scan multiple photos at one time and V600 will separate them so you have individual photos instead of a group of photos on one page. In the professional mode, I am able to edit each photo, as I deem necessary. When scanning negatives or slides I am able to scan two strips of six negatives at one time, the same with slides. I am most satisfied with the V600 scanner, Thank you for a product well done. Dean

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mixed results I wore an older model out scanning thousands of prints, slides and negatives. It was great. The V600 I've had for a while puts an aqua line thru the middle of one strip of color negatives, turned black and white negatives into three-tone black to white, and now smears all the color negatives like every one was jiggled. I think I have a lemon. I bought it directly from Epson but they have no record of my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Scanner This was a gift bought to replace my old Epson Perfection 3170 which has performed yeoman service for me for the past 10-12 years and was beginning to fail periodically if I used it for too long a stretch. The V600 is very similar to the 3170 which made it very easy to change. Even the software is almost the same, with the addition of a couple of useful features that the old didn't have. It is refreshing to see that changes were made only for improvements, not for the sake of change. I was also surprised to learn the V600 is no faster than the old 3170 was - just about the same. I think the LED lights are a definite improvement over the old fluorescents.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beats my Hp hands down I had an Hp flatbed and use a Macintosh computer as I am a retouching artist. The Hp was OK but they neglected to update the software with Apple's penchant for constant OS improvements. I looked for a new scanner and looked to Epson since I have 3 of their printers and have been happy with performance and support. The epson is elegant in design and the software well supports its features. I like the location of the controls and even though it seems like a small thing, I really like that the lid stays up when you open it. When you are positioning multiple pieces of artwork on the glass it frees up both hands to do the work. The resolution is great and warm up time is minimal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost perfect! This is the second Epson flatbed scanner I've purchased over the years. I had some technical issues with the first model and upgraded to the V600 and have been using it with great success for the past three years. My latest and most ambitious project was the digitalizing of my entire photo collections to include thousands of prints, slides, and negatives. This daunting task (still ongoing) was accomplished rather routinely once becoming familiar with the accompanying software. The work was tedious and slow, but the results were acceptable for my needs. However, if I was to do it again, I would seriously consider using equipment specialized for slides/negatives as the flimsy V600 attachment for these formats can be problematic at times. Flat documents such as prints, charts, letters, receipts, etc. were quickly scanned with great success.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mixed Results For the price and for all that it does, I have to say it is overall a good product, but there are caveats. I previously had a 15 year old high-end Nikon Cool Scan II, which needed some repair but is out of service. So for my limited budget, I determined this was the best product; in addition to scanning negatives and slides, it also scans photos of which I now have many. My main purpose, though, is to scan old pre-digital negatives from the 80's and 90's. And I have come to the conclusion this flat-bed scanner is best for photos and that for my purpose a dedicated negative scanner would have been better. You scan negatives from a template which holds the negative strip on the flatbed which then scans using a focused beam to produce a very high resolution image. However, I found all of my scans so far produced have a glare through white space, which I was unable to correct via scanning or software manipulation. It could be the negatives, but I believe it has to do with the quality of the scan tech. It is also slow in the scan routine. I think this flat bed design is best for photos. FYI: During installation I was prompted to download a 'patch' for my Mac 10.12.2, which addresses a year-old negative review concerning compatibility.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent photo scanner So far I have used this scanner for slides and photos. Some of the slides were 50+ years old and were faded. Some also had dust that would not come off using a gentle microcloth and air brush. The scanner did an excellent job removing dust and restoring color. There were a few that I still had to bring into Photoshop, but overall the scanner did an excellent job. I do have an issue with Epson, though. I had an excellent Epson photo scanner that was almost as good as this scanner and had lots of used left in it. Epson quit updating its software after Windows XP so it became a huge paperweight. Yes, there is alternate software out there that will operate the scanner, and according to reviews does a good job. However, the cost of the software was over half the price of the V600 scanner. I opted for the new scanner which has some improved technology. In effect, Epson forces the user to buy a new scanner or buy after-market software that you hope will continue to do a good job with your equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Photo Scanner I am delighted with this scanner for the huge process of archiving our old hard copy photos for the kids. It's easy to use, even for my grandma self. The directions could have better explained how to scan multiple photos to separate files but all you need to do is make sure they're a bit spread apart on the scanner bed and it pops into that mode as well, but some of my first scans came out as a single file of several pictures. The corrections it allows you to make to enhance pictures are adequate for the amount you'll want to bother with when doing a massive project. All in all, this is a great workhorse for preserving old photos. The speed is good as it eliminates the "preview" mode many scanners have, goes right to the scanner and it's easy to designate where the photos will be stored on your computer so you can file, name and sort as you go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Scanner for Slides I purchased the scanner primarily to digitize a very number of old slides. I was pleased with the overall operation of the scanner. There was one very annoying issue. The scanner has an "auto" mode which identifies the type item being processed. While this is a nice feature, I wouldn't call it totally automatic. I had to continually randomly move the cursor in order for it to process the for slides on the glass. This had to be done to start the scanning and to reinitiate a scan for each slide. It will not work unattended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really Decent Photo Scanner I purchased the V600 Photo Scanner mainly to accommodate scanning my old 35mm slides into my computer for the possibility of converting some of these old slides into real printable photos. I've scanned a couple of hundred slides so far, with several hundred more to go, and I'm very pleased with the ease of use. You can scan up to 4 slides at a time, preview them individually, and then save them to a specified folder on your computer. In addition, before saving the scans, they can individually be adjusted for brightness and contrast. I found this to be a very nice feature for some of the those pictures that were taken in the not so ideal lighting situation. I didn't find the scanning times to be quite as fast as advertised, but this is minor considering the real time spent is loading and unloading the slide tray to do the scans. It would have been nice if Epson could have developed a way to scan more than just 4 slides at a time. Overall I feel my money was well spent. Thanks Epson!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Scanner I researched at length for a scanner that would accomplish my goals and fit within my budget. The V600 met all the criteria. I was especially interested in scanning panoramic images taken on a modified camera (35mm) that yielded a 93mm wide image. Most flatbed scanners have the formats limited to the standard 24x36mm with a frame around them. From my research I was able to determine that he V600 would handle 6x9cm images so it would also be able to handle my wider format images. Quality and image sharpness is excellent as well.

All were very easy to do and I was able multitask while Negs and slides were being scanned, they take a while when scanning at a high dpi. It has been a few year since I purchased a flat bed scan and one of the benefits of this scanner is that it you can open the cover to about a 45 degree angle which make it much faster to load and unload items to be scanned. This may have been around a while but my previous scanner did not have that capability and I ended up breaking a hinge. For me this scanner would be perfect if when scanning document or individual prints I could give each one a unique name rather than having a file name with a number attached.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Scanner I am generally pleased with my scanner and would have rated it at 4 stars instead of 3 except for one extremely annoying feature. When I scan color slides, the scanner will often truncate portions of the slide close to the edge of the cardboard mount, forcing me to do multiple scans and then use ICE to make a new composite image that gives me the full image of the original slide. I don't know why the scanner does this but it is annoying as all get out. When I scan something, I simply want the scanner to scan the entire image that I give it. I can decide later what I might want to crop; I don't need the fool scanner doing this for me automatically.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overjoyed The scanner arrived this morning. I installed the scanner drivers and the accompanying software. Hooked the scanner to my computer and after about an hour playing with the various settings I'm now able to scan 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 color negatives 3 up. These old negatives are from my wedding some 45 years ago. I'm thrilled with the scanner, but ICE doesn't seem to remove any dust spots (even when I turn it on.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 works well! The Epson V600 is a very good stand alone scanner for both small business and home use. The installation is both smooth and quick; further it works well with either Win 8.1 or the new Win10. I primarily use it for scanning both color and B&W negatives in a photography studio environment. The versatility of the V600 is well worth the money and the Epson name/brand is very trustworthy. An excellent device overall.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just Getting Started - Scans are Really Good I've had my V600 for about a month or so and used it to scan in old family photos and b/w USN ship photos. The results were very nice! Since I also have an Epson WF-7620 printer with scan features, it took a while to figure out which scanner was showing up and once I had this figured out, scanning the photos was a fairly straight-forward process. It isn't instant gratification, there is a learning curve, so you learn it and understand there is a time frame involved so grab a beer and do your thing! I will probably have this scanner ready for use for a long time now - it gets the job done and I'm pleased with the results. You will need to go to the Epson Website and follow their instructions for setup if you have MS Windows 10 OS on your computer - (bummer!). But, once it's up and running, it's good!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful Scanner After my old scanner incinerated its power supply, a friend recommended this scanner to me. I took his word for it and couldn't be happier with my purchase. The scanner does a tremendous job of making pdfs, which I need, as well as some scanning for my university position. But most of all, I use it to digitize 45+ years of pile photography, including prints and color negatives. The results are extremely satisfying and I have recommended this scanner to several friends. I couldn't be more pleased!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than what I had before This scanner does much better than the scanner I used before. Unfortunately, scanners as a group are very low tech copy machines. Processing software can be good but the physical process is antiquated. Slides especially suffer. Slides are film mounted between cardboard which is thicker than the film itself. This means every slide is out of focus compared to prints. Why there couldn't be a slide focus feature seems puzzling. Just a knob to adjust focus would be nice. That might mean something more than just a surface glass for imaging the print, maybe a slot over the imaging mechanism on some sort of slide tray instead of the glass top. We are taking images of planets millions of miles away, but we can't scan a slide in focus yet. I think Epson could do it if they wanted to bad enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good And Bad Quality of the unit is good overall as far as the software is concerned. But there are lots of little things that were overlooked in development and testing. Where to start: The "manual' is really bad. trying to print it was a waste of time and paper! No index, no page #s. Just a really poor effort. It should be well written, logical and a printed copy should come with the unit. 80 pages or so of loose leaf garbage is not of any use! Before handling your slides and films, wear rubber gloves to prevent marking your negs etc. The slide and negative carriers are atrocious! There is very little on the platen to position the carrier firmly, correctly and positively. there is a lot of white paint on the carriers for optical recognition by the scanner, but the markings of letters etc to align the various tabs and pins in the very shallow detents on the frame are black and difficult to see. When doing strips of 35mm films, any curl is a nightmare to hold in place. The long holder which is supposed to hold the film in position, isn't connected at the pivot end and when in use loading or unloading film strips, it will fall out, over, off and just annoy you. When bringing it down to hold the strips in place, the locating snaps tend to not locate without a lot of fiddling about and the supposedly pivoting end doesn't stay in place making positioning of the film strips a frustrating experience. While scanning colour neg film, the software often mistook an eye for who knows what and blotted it out. this happened mostly with colour slides. Most annoying was that I didn't see it at first and only after reviewing the scans before moving to folders did I see it. Then it was too late to go back and rescan without a lot of greif. then I made sure that after every scan of 2 strips of negs I would check the pics. Any issues usually went away if i switched sides of the carrier and redid the neg scan. I stopped using the "dust removal" option before scanning the film and that seemed to work. Using the 35mm (2x2) slide carrier, of course the slide goes through the carrier so you cannot pick up the carrier with slides in place to spray air to remove dust as I did with the neg strips. The slide holder has "indents" on each side of each slide pocket ostensibly so you can remove a slide with your fingers. That just does not work! If you try this, the entire holder will move around and you wind up picking the holder up, moving the slides off to one side and replacing the holder and putting the slides back in each nest. Any movement at all causes the holder to go over the slides and you cannot get the slides repositioned with the holder on the platen. Once I complete the scan, I lift the holder and sweep the slides to one side so I can pick them up and then replace the holder to reload. If you leave the scanner unattended and your computer goes to "sleep" you need to close the Epson scanning program and reopen it. I think I had to turn the scanner off and then back on again as well. After clicking preview, you select your options and then click scan. Often, when making my choices on the left side, I inadvertently click preview again. Most annoying! It would be nice if the software would know that you have already chosen preview and when it has done that, the preview button would be inoperable until after the scan operation has taken place. It would also be great if the choices you make for each scan sequence would be there for the next scan without needing to be selected every time. My! This is a long-winded review! I just hope somebody reads and heeds this! Good Luck!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Capable Scanner I've been using this scanner to create files of old photos. It's a little slow, but does a very good job. I am happy with the scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from beware rebuilds I read great things about this scanner. I found the best price to come from Epson as a rebuild. I figured what I could I lose: I wasn't buying a used machine from someone who might have abused it; I was buying something the company itself was putting its reputation behind. Mistake. This machine must have slipped passed quality control the first time. When I got it (primarily to scan thousands of negatives I'd accumulated in the pre-digital age), it worked fine for about 20 negs, as advertised: fast, sharp, precise. Then it went haywire. For two strips of six negs each, it scanned only five. I tried several times. I went back to rescan the first negative strips that I had scanned successfully. Those scans also showed up incomplete. In addition, I wasn't getting accurate composition: parts of two adjacent negatives rather than one negative comprised each negative scan. I emailed support. It sent me back to the manual, which I had read and understood. I called support. The agent led me through a diagnostic routine, then determined there was a hardware problem and set up the process for me to get another machine. Disappointing, to be sure. But the response from Epson was good. I thought the agent with whom I was dealing said I'd be getting a new machine, which was an even better deal. As it turned out, it was going to be another rebuilt job. I said I wanted a new one; I wanted to return the first machine and get a credit. Epson said that, for a rebuild, it couldn't be done; all rebuild sales were final. So now I'm waiting for another rebuild -- Epson is paying for the reshipment of the defective machine back to the company -- and hoping for the best. I just hope I don't get stuck with another lemon and eventually winding up paying double what I expected for a good scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Don't Buy it! I bought this scanner a year ago. It worked great for a year. It now will not work with the same laptop that it has been working with for a year. I contacted Epson support and they stated that it will not work in a 3.0 USB port. Keep in mind that I have not changed my computer. I went through their steps of removing the software and reinstalling new software. I am running Windows 10, but have been since it first came out. Epson is not offering a solution I bought a USB hub that is 3.0, but states that it will power back to work with 2.0 or 1.1 USB devices and the scanner still does not Work! I am very disappointed as it is a great scanner when it works!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 scanner I love this scanner. I have scanned thousands of slides and have had very little trouble. It will restore color on some slides that are over 40 years old and removes dust motes well with the digital ice feature. Occasionally the scanned copies have black borders and I have to re-scan them or edit the borders out. I do not know why this is so I have started previewing every copy before scanning to make the correction necessary. The color is good and with a little editing it can be restored to the original quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just what I wanted I am 70 years old and have been shooting photos since I was about 8. I kept a lot of the negatives in a cigar box I painted in cub scouts. It is time to preserve the images. This scanner does just want I want. I can fit the various odd format negatives in the film holders with a little bit of creative use of black construction paper. I am scanning them at the highest resolution. It takes some time, but the results are great. Storage is cheap so why not get the b best resolution. If I had to scan stuff 40 hours a week, I might have gone for something quicker, but for what I am doing this fits the bill. I also use it for OCR and it works fine for that too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Photo Scanner - really nice for the price If you don't need to scan negatives bigger than medium format, this is a great option, that also will scan normal sized paper documents. The scanning resolution is good enough to get down to the grain size on my 120 size negatives, no need for better resolution. The accompanying software is not well documented by my standards, but is easy enough to figure out. As supplied, this unit can scan 35mm film, slides in 2x2 mounts, and 120 or 220 film. The stock film holders are usable, but I find them finicky, and need to be used carefully to get the film flat. Each film holder has a pattern of tiny holes at a specific position to tell the scanner & software what sort of film is being scanned, which is great for normal film sizes. Odd frame sizes on normal film widths have not been hard to adjust to. Odd size negatives on odd size film are a bit of a challenge. I sometimes have sheet film negatives that are small enough to be illuminated by the scanner, but so far I have not figured out how to do this conveniently. The scanner will scan a wider neg than the neg holders will allow. A generic film holder "cheater" which would tell the scanner that there is a random sized negative or transparency on the platen, and provide an outline within which the odd size neg needs to be placed, would be great to have. If you shoot "instant" film, then reclaim the negatives, this scanner is a great way to make prints and digital records, but you might lose some neg area if you shoot 4x5. It would be nice if it was supplied with a holder for 127, 126, 828, 116 and other roll films too - there are plenty of old negatives from these old cameras that need scanning. The next model up, which will do negatives up to and a little over 8x10 inches, is currently 3x the cost of the V600 - since I hardly ever touch a view camera these days, there was no need to spend the extra money. Overall, it's a great tool, and most creative amateur photographers shooting 35mm or medium format should not be limited by the V600's capability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 for slides I used this to scan the family collection of color slides - large and time consuming. I scanned at 2400 dpi so it takes several minutes to scan 4 slides at a time - but I could do other things on the computer while the scan was running. Waiting for 2400 dpi with digital ICE could get old real fast if you just sat there. It is important to keep the glass clear as digital ice did not remove larger lint and dust. The software was very straight forward and the supplied software could be used to largely restore the color of slides that were faded and had lost color balance or slides that were taken indoors under poor light. You get more flexability with this flat bed design than a simple film scanner - costs more but I felt the quality and versatility merited the cost. I did use it for a massive collection of family photos.

This summer I scanned 2000 slides and 100 black and white negatives. I know there are slide only scanners but they would be useless when I was done scanning. This is a legitimate flat bed scanner and now functions in that fashion. I use it with a Macbook pro which made the buttons on the scanner non-functional but I controlled the process on screen. The ICE software useful,but not intuitive.

For that it works fine, although it is suppose to separate the pictures (in case there are 3/4 pics on a 35mm neg.). Sometimes you have to separate them manually. The photo program that is packaged with the scanner is fine; i thought i might have to use my Adobe Photoshop, but the smaller program does all that i have to do.

Since I still have several thousand slides to be scanned, this looked like a good product. It does a great job, was installed easily.

Templet should allow for 8 slides, as my 5-8 yr old scanner does. 2nd - the single pin hole holder for the templet does a poor job. There should be two holding/anchor points.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 on Win 7 is OKAY! I received my V600 2 days ago and it installed on my Win 7 PC without any glitches and the updated drivers are also installed and working. I have tried all the features including OCR and find them to work as expected. I especially like the no warmup time for scans. I have also installed this on my Win XP PC with the same good results. A very good buy for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from how do you work with negatives? The scanner was easy to install. However, after the installation there is no written information on how to use the scanner or using photo shop elements...I don't need a large manual, but a few pages to get you started is essential. I scanned negatives and got a copy of the scanning tool and the negatives...what's next? And, how do I work with transparencies? Learning photoshop by trial and error>

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Software is not ready yet! This would be an excellent scanner except for the fact that the Digital ICE feature does not work in the current version of the PC application software. It works with after market VueScan, so the problem is not hardware or firmware -- it's the PC application software. If you select Digital ICE for film, it does not even attempt the extra (infrared) scan. Epson support was helpful, though, and authorized an RMA for my unit. I would consider buying this product in the future if they fix this flaw. For my intended use, Digital ICE was a mandatory feature, so it needs to go back for now.

Please send the instructions if possible. I know that I can go online and get them but the gesture would be nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty good Four stars because I don't know it well enough and four stars because it is a tad bulky. Other than that, the quality of the output - the only thing that really matters - has been exceptional. I have had other slide scanners that were pitifully bad by comparison, So far I have scanned enough slides to know that the Perfection 600 is very good for my purposes, which involves copying a few thousand slides at my leisure. I have also tried scanning color negatives of long lost pictures and am very satisfied with its performance. I expected it to be relatively slow but figure that good things are definitely worth waiting for. The last slide scanner that I purchased a few weeks ago had to be sent back because the scans were bad beyond belief. Fortunately, the return policy worked very well and after more research, I settled on the Epson Perfection 600. I trust nothing will happen to make me change my mind but for now I am well satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Perfection scanner Product does everything desired and for the purpose it was purchased. I have used a similar scanner at work that scans only prints but the one purchased for home use was the higher level V600 model that also scans negatives. The scanner worked perfectly straight out of the box which is not a usual occurrence with me and computer-related hardware. This was a concern of mine after reading some of the reviews and trouble that others were having with software issues. I've been able to scan 35mm color negatives taken over the past 30 years as well as larger format black & white negatives from my father's childhood 75 years ago. The scans have easily been able to be shared with family who have gotten a lot of enjoyment from them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 scanner I am so pleased with this scanner. I have slides that are 40 years old and the dust spots are numerous. Before using the ice feature I spent weeks editing the spots out one at a time. Now editing is a breeze. I just crop and straighten (If necessary) and I"m through. The colors come through beautifully. There are some slides that require color adjustment, but that is not the fault of the scanner. I couldn't be happier. Avoiding all of those tedious editing chores makes this scanner with the ice feature well worth the money. Before you scan the first time I do advise you to scan 4 slides over and over using different settings so that you know what gives you the best results. Epson provides you with a preview of your photo and you can cancel the scan if you are not satisfied. Once you have found the best settings you can save them and not have to repeat the process. I give this scanner 5 stars; something I have never done before.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great! I would highly recommend the V600 Epson photo scanner. It is quite easy to use for me as a beginner scanner. It can be quite addictive actually. I am scanning old family photos and it is great to see slides finally on a screen instead of just holding them up to the light to see them. I am now making CD's for other family members in case a fire was to destroy all the photos we have that are in one household. Now there will be copies dispersed to other areas for safe keeping. AAAA+++++!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great with prints, lousy with negatives Very impressive with old photos in need of restoration, which is all I've used it for thus far. Color restoration feature is truly amazing as long as there is enough color hints in a faded print. Negatives are another story. Does not always capture all of the frames in a negative strip, and tends to cut off parts of frames at either end of the strip. The scanned color negatives did not flip the negative to color images, but rather to sepia images. Very disappointed in that feature. Haven't tried scanning slides yet, but I'm hoping the results are far better than with negative film strips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 I was able to start making copies of my pictures and slides half an hour after unpacking the V600. The software disk downloaded easily on Windows 7 and using the "getting started sheet" made the transition to copies effortlessly.

So it was necessary for my to find a printer that did this. To my disappointment, they don't make one that will do slides & negatives anymore. I did however purchase the Epson Perfection V600 Photo along with the Artisan 810. I LOVE both of them. I'm not thrilled to have 2 machines to do the job, but they are both wonderful machines! The Artisan is hooked up to my desktop computer and wireless for my laptop. I love that feature. The touchscreen is GREAT! So many things were different on this printer that I wasn't sure if I was going to like them. I spent all day playing with the printer. Pictures come out awesome, of course it's an Epson!!! There's a special place for the smaller photo paper, good feature. I fax often as well. So much simpler & faxes more than one page! I printed photos straight from my SD card...BEAUTIFUL! It has a USP port if you just wanted to plug in your camera. I don't know what else to say...Photo come out just as if they were professionally done. I am a person that analyzes every product, read all of the reviews. It takes weeks or sometimes months to do that, but am always satisfied with the results. I love Epsons products, and if your considering the Artisan 810..go for it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally a scanner that works with WIN 7 I have been very reluctant to purchase a new scanner after reading reviews that all seemed to say there were problems with WIN 7. I have 3 older scanners (about $1000 worth) that I could not get to work with WIN 7; so spending more money seemed fruitless! Well...I must say this scanner is great! Setup was very smooth. Took a while to load the software but it went without any problems. I also like the scanning software provided with the scanner....I like the ability to be able to adjust more settings rather than stuck with an "auto" mode. Got a great deal from Epson thru their clearance center on a "refurbished" unit. Has the same warranty as a new one. Has a great depth of field with "deeper/thicker" objects set on the scanner glass that I like. My 3 previous Epson Scanners worked great until WIN 7 came along which proves the scanners will outlast the system!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top Notch Results I needed to replace my Film Scanner when I got Windows 7 in my new Computer. I checked other Film Scanners Specifications but liked what the V600 had to offer. I was a little skeptical about using a Flat Bed Scanner for my Slides but after using it a few times I was really impressed with the Quality of the Scans. I can set the resolution for small files for Projection and higher resolution for Printing. My old Scanner created 19-21mb files which were OK for 11x14.With the V600 I have created 256mb to 512mb files of information that will make really good larger prints. I don't know whatever else I may scan but for what it does for Slide Scanning was well worth the nominal cost of the Unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from cumbersome for old 120 negative scanning The V600 machine is a good overall scanner - it comes with slide and negative holders for 35mm and 120 film - I bought it for scanning old medium format negatives since our old Epson scanner would only do 35mm film and single 35mm slides. The standard settings for 120 film include 6x6 (cm), 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9. In professional mode, with old square 120 negatives (many from an old Hawkeye Kodak Brownie camera my parents owned) the preview would show one frame properly identified and all subsequent frames offset. Each subsequent frame had to be individually selected from the Normal preview. This is a tedious, time consuming process. The images are great though. It's a trip through time to see prints from negatives that are 50 to 65 years old that my parents and grand parents took. I have better results in general using the dust removal option over the ICE option. ICE can add odd things especially in shadowed areas. I also have an odd negative size, in strips, that is in between the 35mm and 120 film size for which no holder exists. I may have to buy a custom or resizeable negative holder for these. I'll submit more when I have more experience with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from EPSON V600 PHOTO SCANNER LAST MARCH, (2010) WE PURCHASED THE V600. WE NEEDED A HIGH QUALITY SCANNER AS WE, MY WIFE AND I, ARE CREATING A PHOTO LIBRARY FOR BOTH SIDES OF OUR FAMILIES. SOME OF THE PHOTOS THAT WE HAVE SCANNED DATE BACK TO THE EARLY 1900'S. ONE OF THE MAIN FEATURES THAT WE LIKE ABOUT THE V600, AND TO US WAS NECESSARY, IS THAT IT WORKS WITH MANY SIZES OF NEGATIVES. THE V600 COMES WITH HOLDING TRAYS FOR 35MM SLIDES, OR 35MM FILM STRIPS, 2 1/4" SQUARE NEGATIVES OR STRIPS. PLUS IT WILL SCAN ANY PRINT OR DOCUMENT UP TO 8.5" X 11". TO THIS POINT, WE HAVE ENTERED APPROXIMATELY 4,500 SLIDES/NEGATIVES/PHOTOS INTO OUR LIBRARY USING THE V600. OUR COMPUTER SYSTEM IS A NEW (FEB. 2010) MAC, CURRENTLY RUNNING SNOW LEOPARD OS X 10.6.4. THE V600 SETUP AND STARTUP WAS ALMOST FLAWLESS. I DID NEED TO MAKE ONE CALL TO THE EPSON TECH SUPPORT TEAM. THEY HELPED ME AND I WAS UP AND RUNNING IN 15 MINUTES. SO FAR, THE V600 HAS NOT FALTERED AND WE STILL HAVE A FEW MORE THOUSAND PHOTOS TO GO BEFORE WE ARE DONE WITH THIS LARGE FAMILY PROJECT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXCELLENT FEATURES WITHIN THE V600, WHICH YOU CAN READ ABOUT IN THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. WE FEEL WE HAVE MADE A GOOD INVESTMENT WITH THIS PURCHASE.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Scanner I bought this scanner specifically for slides and photos. Some of the photos are b&w and are almost a century old. The Epson Perfection V600 is extremely fast when copying photos ( e.g. 4x6 in less than a minute.) I am running an I-7 3930k Intel processor with 32gb ram.I use a new sweat sock to gently dust off the photo before I scan it. This saves a lot of problems and time when touching up the finished product. When scanning photos, I use full auto mode and then touch up any blemishes with adobe 64bit photoshop. When scanning slides, I use professional mode and check the unsharp mask, grain reduction, color restoration and backlight correction. I also set the target size to 4x6. When viewing the finished product on a 55in led tv, the picture takes up almost the whole screen.pros- I am impressed by the speed of the V600. A 4x6 photo scans in less than a minute. 4 slides scan in under 2 minutes. Unlike what other reviewers have said about the flimsy slide holder, (connected at one point), I think it's fine. After scanning 4 slides, by experience, you should lift off the holder and clean the glass. The slides have cardboard borders. You'd be surprised how much fuzz comes off them. cons- Like other reviewers, I did find debris stuck on the underside of the glass. In my case, the location was in two places at the top of the scanner. You can deal with that situation in three ways, scan the photo in the debris area and touch up the photo, scan in an area that doesn't have the debris (my choice), or simply return the scanner. Sometimes the photo result is not right, upside down or sideways. I double click to view the photo and rotate it to the proper perspective with the turn buttons on windows photo viewer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null I am using this scanner to scan years of family slides and photos. I'm very please with the scanner's performance so far. The only problem I've had is that at times the color correction feature seems to fail. I first noticed when a scan of a slide was corrected and looked great, but had some lint. When I rescanned it, it had a strong yellow cast as did many slides after it. Then, it started correcting the color again. The scanner has done this a few times now. I don't know why. Other than that, I'm just really happy to have a way to preserve my family's memories.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but... I like the scanner, it did a fine job with colors, and catching the text. It doesn't however scan to the edge. You have to move your object in 3 or 5mm. I would rather they have had some type of contact point there so I could align what I'm scanning at that location instead I have to use a ruler to place the photo that has an image to the edge. If I knew for sure other scanners didn't have the problem I might return it. So I may be going shopping...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well made, fast, not very good contrast I have two Epson scanners this Perfection V600, and the scanner built in my Artisan 810 multi-function printer. I use the scanners for scanning a number of paper items to sell on eBay. Most of what I scan are postcard size items. The Perfection is very well made and faster, but the LED technology does not give the contrast of the older technology in the Artisan 810. For my use I prefer the Artisan 810 scanner. The extra cost of the Perfection V600 is due to the new technology and a better made product. If faster scans and a little less contrast are ok for your use then I'd recommend the Perfection V600 otherwise I'd stick with the scanner on a multi-function printer.

If the V600 works as well as my 12 year old "Brand X", which is still operating beautifully on my other computer, I will be very happy. The TRUE reason that I bought the V600 is to convert hundreds of color and black & white negatives up to 65 years old, as well as restore a few fading color prints from the early 1950s. Some of my 60+ year old negatives had never been printed, so it was a hoot to hit "preview" and see them appear in their original glory. Great job, Epson. I have already recommended this unit to my oldest son, while another son has purchased the Epson V330 and likes it, too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great machine! I bought this inexpensive machine yesterday for what I thought would be a tedious. lengthy bout of document scanning (a great aunt's record of publishers she had sent manuscripts to, contained in an old hundred-plus-page Composition Book). I finished it in less than a couple of hours. The scanner is fast, easy to set up and use and provides clear and sharp files, all unlike the old, slow Palo Alto, California company's 5370C scanner (which that company no longer supports - there is no driver for any operating system later than XP). My next project is to finish scanning old negatives my father had taken in the nineteen-teens, twenties, thirties and later so that I can preserve them and distribute CDs/DVDs to his side of the family. The old scanner, which I bought because it had a light source with which to scan negatives, took me weeks to scan about a third of the negatives with mixed results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good scanner I've had this a short time only, however, the scanner and software included functions well. I've scanned from slides and negatives with good results. I appreciate the ease of use. I'd recommend this tool for photographers like me who like to integrate images from their past work with film into their digital work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent scanner I gave 5 stars, but should be 4 1/2. This is an excellent scanner with very good controls and color correction. Two minor things to improve. The negative carrier clip in is flimsy. I haven't had any problem with them and they continue to work well. My concern is they will wear out. Also in the professional mode, if you crop an image it will automatically correct the color. Too many times it is a few shades off from original. For reference I was a professional photographer and did my own color darkroom printing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality scans Since I wasn't able to get quality scans from friends or places to pay for scans, I decided to buy my own. I'm glad I chose the V600. I have scanned and printed from my 35mm negatives and the results were great. The prints from those scans were better that prints made directly from the negative by my photo lab. I do think that the plastic negative holder could be a little more substantial.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Scanner This scanner produces excellent results for copying documents, photographs, and film from 35 mm to medium format. Operating modes range from the quick and simple fully Automatic to Professional mode allowing a wide range of controls over the final results. I am presently scanning my large collection of Hasselblad transparencies dating from 1974. I control the scanner through Photoshop CS. This scanner, in the professional mode, performs excellently and the resulting digital images require little or no manipulation in Photoshop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Value, Works with Lion (Slight glitches still I have had the V600 for one day now and have scanned a couple hundred medium format negatives directly into iPhoto, successfully. I use with a MacBook Pro on OSX 10.7.2 (Lion). Once I figured out that I needed to access the scanner through the System Preferences, I was OK. There is a slight glitch in that every once in a while either the scanner is not available or it doesn't give me the opportunity to select transparency scanning. When this happens I must restart my computer. This has happened about 5 times for the hundreds of scans, so it isn't too bad, but I'd like to see that little problem go away in future driver updates. Overall I am very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 I had an old scanjet but I aged just waiting for the lamp to warm up. This Epson has great scanning quality, speed and utillity. The front buttons actually work for me in Windows 7. The lid has two "lock positions" that are great as well as the ability to scan a book with the whole lid higher and parallel with the glass. The only problem is that nothing explained the "locks" and I was afraid to force it past one of the lock positions before I did it once with no ill effects. Should have been noted in the instructions that it would not hurt the lid and there were no "unlock" buttons. I bought two additional scanner programs that had great reviews in addition to the included Epson program. Both have their own benefits, and with the low cost of the V600, they were affordable. One of the other programs lets me use my old scanet on windows 7, and the other gives more control. The Epson program does the best job of automatically and accurately finding slide frames. Since I ordered the scanner on line(no local stores had one) I bought an additional protection plan just in case! So far (two weeks) the scanner is great. Only problem I have found is that with some software if you act too quickly to do something while an operation is still ongoing it locks up and must be powered off and back on. Not a big problem. I do wish that the V700 had the LED feature since it would have been nicer to be able scan multiple (24) slides than the 4 slides per scan of the V600. Since I primarily wanted a general purpose scanner for documents and photos as well as a good slide scanner, I bought the V600. I still have to figure out how to calibrate from scan thru print (on my epson 2200 printer). I remember a feature on the old scanjet that let you print a target file, scan it and then do a calibration.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Perfection It appears that Epson knew what they accomplished when they named this line "Perfection". I haven't used all the features yet, however, the photo restoration capabilities are fantastic. A bit on the bulky side but unless your space is limited to a small closet, this shouldn't be an issue. For me, the most difficult part of this was to find one. Many of the places I shopped were sold out. A good indication that the word on this unit has spread. Moderately priced considering the V600's capabilities. A great buy. Thanks Epson

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfection v600 works This scanner replaced a much older Epson, the main reason was that the older programming would not work well with Win Office 2007. It is mainly used by my father,(79yrs young) to send attachments with his emails to all the grand-kids. The one button scan to email really makes it easy for him to do so. I use it for scanning in old 35mm negatives the family shot years ago. It's a really nice scanner that is versatile enough to fit most needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great scanner! I've used another brand's scanner for several years and was happy with it. A move to Windows 7 precipitated my getting a new scanner. The specs are very good on this scanner and they were the primary reason I bought it. But I was in for some pleasant surprises. I'm thrilled with the scanner's LED lights and how quickly it starts working. My old scanner said it could scan slides, but didn't do a good job of it. But this new scanner does a great job and much to my surprise, it does a great job on negatives too. I'm very happy with this device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent with flaws the V600 is a versatile scanner that produces remarkably good scans of photographic material right out of the box. The scans are a little soft but the included sharpening feature compensates. The software controls of color temperature, hue etc are adequate but far from the state of the art. The V600 also produces very good scans of 35 mm slides and negatives. The results are not quite as good as a dedicated scanner but are very close. The color adjustments software problems are more obvious with transparencies than pictures. The transparency holders are awful. They consist of 2 pieces that are not hinged. Unless your negatives lie limply in place, getting them into the holder without a wrestling match is awkward. In addition the holders really do not hold negatives flat. The scanner does a pretty good job of compensating but it isn't the best solution.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner It would be nice if a detail manual of the scanner and software came with the equipment. The software version is so simple, it is insulting. The "slide" holders does not fit 35mm slides. Photoshop software is the same way. If you are like me, and do not have any exerience with scanners or photoshop software. Keep on looking for something you can use when you drop the money, and open the box. This is not it. The scans are great. But you can not pick what folder to place your scan in. If you need to learn how to use this, find something else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Photo Scanner It's the perfect instrument for someone like me who start making a family album of photos. But there is something missing as template for old negatives which is smaller or bigger than the templates supplied with the V600. But anyway, I consider it like a very good instrument especially when you include Adobe Photoshop. I already have Corel Paint Shop Pro X3 but it's a very good complement. Thank to Epson for the good service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good scanner - but Film and slide holders are bit flimsey in addition to not making very good scans. The holders position the film just high enough off the scan surface that the scan is a bit fussy. Any curl (and what piece of old film does not have some), will vary in sharpness. Not sold on the film/slide ability of tis scanner. On the other hand, photo scans and other flat materials are spot on. The ICE technology is slooooow but good. I have about 75 years of family photos to preserve and this scanner seems to be up to the task. Just need to decide which are worth the extra time to use ICE and which are just as easily corrected in CS6.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Photo Scanner I decided to degitize my 1970-80s photographs and slides. The V600 transfers, with ease, five 3.5 by 5 photographs at a time. This saves time versus the one-at-a-time units that are commonly sold in catelogs. Scanning software alowed me to salvage some very faded images. This is an outstanding product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good quality scans, software so so The scans of slides and photos I am getting from this scanner are very good, but you have to work for them. The buttons and features are what I need and I like having dedicated PDF button. I haven't scanned multiple page documents with the DF feature yet, so I can't say how well it works. I have used Photoshop Elements for quite a while and it works well with the scanner, but the other scanner software supplied with the scanner isn't all that friendly. I have found that if I do not check file location each time I scan the files may end up in a file other than the one would like them to default to. Also, the software will not let you change the default scan name before you scan. Another thing is that this software is quirky and when it has a problem, which seems to happen rather frequently, I have to reboot the computer. Add this to the overall speed of the scanner at high resolutions and scanning a batch of slides or photos becomes a time consuming feat. If you use the ICE software it become glacial. The ICE software wells pretty well to correct photos, but it does slow down the scan considerably. It would be nice if the scanner was faster. Overall looking at the market for scanners in this price range I think this is about as good as it gets. I think it is a good scanner limited by the Epson software. Hoefully Epson will put out some updates to make their interface software more flexible and dependible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding scanner I purchased this scanner a week ago primarily to scan the thousands of 35mm slides that I have accumulated over the last 45 years. The Epson Perfection V600 has met all of my expectations from when I opened the box, installed the software and driver, scanned my first photo and began scanning my slides. The installation was totally problem free and startup was a breeze. The quality of the few photos that I have scanned was fabulous. The quality of the slides that I have scanned from the seventies and eighties was also great. I had a number of "special" slides from the sixties that also scanned extremely well. It has been quite enjoyable to look at our boys as they grew up. I would certainly recommend this scanner to anyone who desires very good quality of their photos! Some people have complained about the slide holder; I just taped it down to the flat surface and it is no problem at all. I have been a user of Photoshop Elements for 5 years, so using it to touch up the scanned slides was a sinch. The V600 is a great buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scanner V600 I imagine this is a good scanner, but you need to take courses in order to use it. The instructions of usage are going in circle. I purchased it in order to scan old pictures and documents for eventual book. I tried to scan a photo that already is on my PC; well, the scanner says "file already exists>" Does that mean that I can not scan varity of same picture? Who makes the decision or the scanner? I can not have the scanner image on my Scanners and Cameras in Control Pannel. Why? I am still reading instruction. I would appreciate any suggestions any one has for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Scanner The unit was shipped and then received on 7/22/2013. The unit was uncrated on the afternoon of 8/22/13, and hooked up, but the power was left off. All application software was taken from the Epson website and loaded on my 3-month old Mac. The scanner power was turned on and the first trial scans were made and printed. (B&W Jpeg files of color material printed on a B&W laser printer.) All of this was done in under 2 hours using only the Epson, large one-page,multilingual installation sheet in the shipping carton. So far I'm happy. So now it's time to get detailed instructions from the Epsom web site so I can really get to work. thanx

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner Bought the V600 to scan a bunch of old pictures, slides and negatives. i'm using this with an iMac. Set up was very easy, just went to the Epson web site to download the Mac driver, loaded it up, plugged in, went to applications folder, clicked on the Epson scan icon and i was in business. There are different modes within the Epson scan config pop up but i mainly used full auto mode for now. i scanned negatives and 35mm slides using the adapters that were included, checked the box for film vs photo in the config file and clicked scan. done. pretty good looking pictures from both the slides/negatives. i'm very pleased. i haven't tried using a third party scanning software as of yet but if that is better that using what i have now, i'll be happier yet. this was well worth the purchase if you are an amateur to scanning (i am), and this was very easy to set up with great results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for scanning negatives I bought the Perfection V600 for one purpose. I like to make photo books on-line of our vacations. This is easy now with digital cameras. I decided to go back and make photo books of our family vacations when our kids were small, in the 1980's and 90's. There are literally thousands of photos, and they are all on film. I needed to scan all those negatives. I learned quickly it would be most cost effective to buy a scanner, rather than pay a photo service to scan them all. After reviewing several scanners, I selected the V600. I have completed scanning the negatives of one of our trips. I am not disappointed with my choice. I played around a little with the dpi and compression ratio to get the jpegs sized the way I wanted. The results have been even better than I expected. The auto mode worked just fine. The colors and picture quality were excellent, even without using the color restoration option. It took about 1 minute 10 seconds per negative to scan, which I consider to be reasonable. I have tried the photos on my on-line photo book site. They look great. I was able to expand a single image to cover two pages of a 12 by 12 book, that would be a 12 by 24 image. I was concerned about this. I also made a photo CD to play a slideshow on our TV. All the photos looked like they were taken by a digital camera. All in all, I have been very sarisfied with the V600.

That is why, when it came time for a new scanner, I knew I would purchase a Epson. This scanner does a really nice job, and is easy to use. I have a iMac w/OS X Lion, which does not have a "Get photo from scanner" function. I had to contact Apple Support, and they set me up with a "plug in" which works fine. Other than that little "snafu", if you are looking for a nice photo scanner, check out the V600 Photo Scanner. You won't be sorry. And by the way, if you need support Epson is a fine company to deal with.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Scanner I have not had the scanner very long. I been busy with work and other things. So I haven't had the chance to start my projects. I have used it to scan in about 25 photos. It worked great for the basic stuff. The more advanced I will do later. Will give more feedback at a later time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works great I bought the V600 to copy my personal collection of 35mm slides and negatives from my many years of work and travels. They represent the diary of my life and are, thus, very important to me. Digitizing them to pass on to my family (and to bore them) is very important to me and thus a machine that will fulfill this need is important. In the V600 I think that I have found what I need. The 35mm slide and negative copiers work very well. Expect the slide copier to be somewhat slow and it only takes four slides at a time. It would be useful if Epson could make a carrier that could be loaded and then placed on the stage. In that way one tray could be running while the second was being loaded. Adding and removing slides from the tray is inconvenient without some form of retaining device – you just drop them into open spaces in the tray laid on the top of the stage! If you pick the tray up – or move it, the slides fall out! The tray itself is not locked in place and moves about as you load it. If the recess on tab “C” were made deeper and a similar recessed tab were made at the top of the tray, the tray would be more stable while being loaded. The same applies for tab “A” for mounting the negative side of the tray (the same tray mounted in the opposite direction) and for the large format tray. But remember, the results are very good! The machine arrived well packed with all parts safely stowed. The instructions for setup and use are somewhat torturous and, for me, more than a little incomplete. But remember, the results are very good! The software appears to “stick” sometimes. Without warning I am occasionally required to “preview” a set of slides before I can copy them (a further time delay) generally this is not required. I may be missing the option – remember I am still learning with a limiting set of instructions, but a location to add notes on each slide would be a great advantage. The decision making process to buy the V600 – rather than the V500, was difficult. I still ponder over the differences and the apparent need (at least at the time of purchase) to buy the 600 through the internet while the 500 is freely available in stores. I think that I am missing something. But remember, I have only just started with this great machine >6,000 slides and >100 rolls on negatives to go and the results so far are very good!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 Photo Scanner Have been using this product for several months and I am very impressed with the results. The software interface is easily understood and makes it very easy to change settings. I would recommend this product to any one and especialy if you want to change 35m pic's. or negatives into digital pic's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scanner wont scan I have tried all the suggested solutions for this and still i get a message "EPSON Scan has stopped working". I just purchased this less than two weeks ago and so frustrated. It was working fine then for no apparent reason it now wont. Uninstalled software and reinstalled following exact the directions for initial setup and still get same message. I would have rated this high if it had continued to work. I am very happy with the photos and negatives I did get scanned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent scanner I have a bunch of old 35mm photos that I took in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. I've been wanting to scan them and save on the computer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Very good! Having long looked for a reasonably priced 6x6 scanner I finally came across the V600 which I purchased a little more than a week ago. I have already scanned as many as 300 color & black and white negatives as well as a few color and B&W photos of various size. Thus far there has been nothing to fault with this scanner. Easy setup, quick learning curve and quality results. Considring the price, it can't be beat. Two thumbs up, as the saying goes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Scanner Santa picked out a great scanner! Easy setup and PC install. You do have to remember there is an on/off switch on the side of unit. Took me 2 minutes to figure out why the power light was not on. The rest was easy as pie. Love the auto photo fix software.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Still has all the good stuff from earlier models This is the 3rd Epson scanner I've had and I am very pleased with it. They each have been easy to use for a variety of scanning tasks and have produced fine results. Each has been a truly improved device. I especially like having a physical on/off switch on the scanner and the error code info there a help too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic scanner My wife inherited a very large collection of family photos, slides, and negatives. Some photos are from the late 1870s, and the slides date as far back as the early 1950s. So, we bought the V600 to reproduce the materials for the family. The set up was easy. The photos and the slides that we scanned turned out great. Photoshop made it easy to correct the color and to improve the image. The scanner is every bit as good as the reviews indicated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from spectacular On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate the Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner 11. Easy to set up and use. I am in the process of copying 30 years worth of photos and 35 mm slides and am entirely pleased. Runs right out of the box and the included software makes archiving more efficient. No second guessing this purchase, one of the best I have made

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrific Scanner I was searching for an affordable scanner to convert old faded photos to digital. The V600 not only met my needs, it exceeded it. The scanner and it's DIGITAL ICE software not only converted the pictures the scanned pictures but also brought them back to life. The digitized versions of the faded and colored pictures looked fully restored with vibrant colors and details. I would recommend this scanner to anyone who wants to revitalize their old photos.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Printer Yet What doesn't it do quickly, efficiently, in "living color"? This printer is the best one I have owned. Epson produces the highest quality printers on the market, and this is certainly one of the top in their line. It is fast so that little is spent waiting for prints. Color is accurate and vivid. Detail is excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Typical great Epson product Fabulous scanner ! I scan about 300 images a week and have been able to tweek the software to where they scan in almost perfectly. I have not used the 35mm portion yet but expect the same results. Machine has performed flawlessly. I would like to see the "saved" sequence numbers to go to 4 or even 5 digits so I don't get repeating image numbers after 999 scans. I would love one just like it in a 12x15 inch format that is affordable ! It is such a fine machine I expect Epson to quit making it soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommend this scanner! After reading LOTS of reviews, and comparing features, I decided to go for the V600. I'm already impressed by the results in just scanning some photos, but the real area this is going to shine, is when I take on the project of converting my father's slide picture collection,and putting it all to digital.I can just see his face when he gets to view a lifetime of his photography achievements, in the digital format on DVD.It will be a great undertaking, and that's the biggest reason I chose the V600, as well as the great price.BTW...am also upgrading my printer to the Epson Artisan 710, but I'll comment on that when it comes this week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Liking it so far! Although I've had for over a month, just started using the scanner two weeks ago. I am VERY pleased with all the options and the ease of use! In addition, I had to do some negatives and could not believe how well they came out! I have a lot (A LOT) to scan in as I just cleaned out my father's house and this has already been a blessing. The fact that I can put books on the scanner truly helps. I have already recommended this to several friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive Scanner I bought this scanner to convert a number of old family photos to .jpg files. I have had a good experience with Epson ink-jet printers, but had not tried any of their scanners before. I am using it with an iMac running Mountain Lion. I had no trouble setting it up and getting it running. It literally took about five minutes. It produces beautiful scans with rich colors easily in "Auto" mode. In "Home" mode there are additional features. One that I especially wanted to use is the digital ICE technology for cleaning up dust and scratches. Previously I have done this manually using photoshop, and that is tedious. Digital ICE does it all automatically at the cost of a somewhat longer scan time and produces very nice results. I feel that I have barely scratched the surface regarding what this scanner can do, but would highly recommend it to anyone needing a high-performance photo scanner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from love the V600 This scanner is amazing to me. Definitely picks up the photos wherever you set them and makes great scanned copies in a very reasonable timeframe. I have used it for slides also and it is incredible. I have a Mac, and was stymied for a minute with the discs (which the Mac would not read), but after I realized I had to download the software from the Epson site via the internet, all was well. the scanner is easy to use, pretty much does it all for you so it requires very little instruction. The one over-view sheet is sufficient. Thanks for this great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice So after much research I settled on the V600. I'm glad I did. With nothing to compare it to I'll just say that it works very well. The results I get a very satisfactory. It's faster than I had anticipated too. The software is working for me as well though I don't use any of the correction features besides Digital Ice and I only use that for film other than Kodachrome...they don't get along. A few things that need improvement: Setting up to scan and using the software to full advantage took a while to figure out the first day. I spent about an hour getting everything right. But once that was done it was smooth sailing. Also, it's hard getting the slides out of the holder. Maybe my fingers are to big or my nails not long enough but they are a bugger to lift. I've resorted to a piece of masking tape to pull them out by the mounts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works As Advertised The Epson V600 Photo Scanner works as advertised. Quick set-up and copying photos with-in 30 minutes. I bought this for the multiple photo scan into individual files feature. I had this with an older All-In-One printer and found out that is a rarity in All-In-Ones. The only negative is the location of the Start Buttons on the front of the device. They are located directly under the area where you open the lid. I use the software on my computer to control the device, but many times, when opening the lid to clear the photos, it is too easy to touch the buttons and start another unwanted command. Other than that, this is an awesome device and so far I am impressed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy improvements could be made. The Epson Perfection V600 is a great scanner. It does a beautiful job and is fast. My complaint is with the Epson scanner software. If I am doing a large project, it is extremely annoying to have to reopen the Epson scanner software every time you make a scan. I have to chase down the icon to open for every new picture scan. This is a waist of time. Also, with multiple pictures in the scanner, it usually fails to recognize pictures individually. This makes it necessary to handle the picture with software one more time to crop and cut pictures apart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from NOT WHAT I EXPECTED I have had and used several printers and scanners but I got this one for the feature to copy negatives but it is a lot harder to use and so far I have been using my old scanners because they are straight forward. Maybe some day but I don't have time and there is not a lot of help with it. I had bought a cheap one to do negatives and I have had more use from it than the more expensive Epson one, I might as well have left it in the box. Forget it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 - Great Scanner My old Epson Perfection 3170 scanner would not work with Lion. (I'm using version 10.7.3) I bit the bullet and got the V600. It is working great. I did follow the instructions to download the latest software and install that instead of the software on the disc. All functions seem to work - so far I've done color and B&W scans and color slides. It works from Epson Scan, from mounting thru the scan section in System Prefs and from programs such as Photoshop CS5 and Graphic Converter. It will not work from Photoshop Elements 10. I'm very happy with the speed of the scans. I do not understand some reviewers complaints regarding the slide holder - it worked fine for me and does not seem all that fragile. Only complaint - the extra software (notably the OCR software) is only for Windows. How about a little more Mac support!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Scanner I just got this scanner and love it. I scanner a very old picture that was yellow and fading and it came out like new. the Digital Ice fixed cracks in some of the old photos. I also was able to make copies of negatives from the 1940s. It was easy to make a PDF as well. The Epson Perfection V600 does the best job I have seen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Epson V600 I just bought the Epson V600 with some reserve. I am not a computer Guru, and I read other reviews which mentioned that it would be hard to set up.

I would recommend this scanner without hesitation. If it lasts like my other Epson products I will continue to be very Happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from V600 Excellent Scanner Bought the Perfection V600 from Micro Center to replace a HP ScanJet 7400c that did not have updated drivers for Windows 7. The Epson scanner is hands down a better scanner than the HP it replaced. It is faster, quieter, has better software included and the lid stays open in two different positions which makes swapping pages much easier. I also have the Epson GT-S50 scanner which I use for high volume scanning so I did not need an ADF with the V600. Epson's software suite recognizes both scanner and prompts for which one to use each time I start the Epson Scan application. Mostly used for scanning documents to PDF and also some picture scanning to JPG. Overall very satisfied with the V600 and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flatbed scanner that works well with Windows 7.
