Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Epson Perfection V700 Photo Color Scanner
Customer Review: A serious scanner for important scanning jobs
Summary: 4 Stars
There are many reasons one would one to purchase a scanner like the Epson Perfection V700. You might be a professional photographer wanting to scan your older work. You might be an amateur wanting to scan many old family photos. Either way, you might find something you want in this product.
I, for one, am an amateur photographer but I also have been working to scan in thousands of old family photos and negatives. I have previously spent hundreds of dollars getting the scans done professionally and if you do not have the time to scan the photos yourself that is an option. However, if you have the time and patience you can look at this scanner to do the work. But beware, you will need to learn how to use it because it's not just "push a button and watch it do the magic." This is a professional piece of equipment.
First, this scanner does an excellent job of producing quality images. For the price, you are getting very good quality. It is certainly above the typical scanner, as it should be. There is very little that compromises the quality of this scanner's product.
This scanner allows you to scan multiple slides at once (many more than other scans normally would). That's a great feature, but the ability to batch scan combined with the dual lens system and other features makes this scanner a hefty piece of equipment. The preview image on the product's page looks big, but you have no idea until you actually receive this item.
I have heard some complaints about the plastic film holder and other plastic pieces. While I would prefer to have a more sturdy construction in areas, I do not mark that as a complaint. The scanner is well-built and I feel comfortable that I will own it for a long time without many problems. However, the downside to a lightweight, plastic film holder is that if you aren't very careful your images might not scan properly (and might not be up to the quality they should) due to their placement against the glass (or not).
The software is somewhat easy to use but you will have to walk through many features to understand it all. Installation was a breeze and it's worth giving their software a try. But you can always use the scanner with other imaging software as well.
Overall, I'd recommend this scanner to most people, especially a professional or to those wanting to scan a large quantity of photographs. Just be prepared to work for good scans.
