Editorial Review:
The Epson Perfection V500 Photo features a built-in transparency unit for positive or negative film up to medium format. It scans 12 frames of 35mm filmstrip, four frames of mounted 35mm slides or 1 frame of 6x12cm medium format film at once, ideal for preserving old family images. Four easy access buttons are located on the front of the scanner to initiate scan to application, scan to PDF, scan to email and copy. They offer a quick and easy way to scan an image without the need to access settings on the computer. The scan to PDF function allows an image or multiple pages to be scanned and automatically saved to a specified PDF file, while the scan to email button allows documents or images to be copied and sent anywhere in the world at the touch of a button. Software provided with the Perfection V500 Photo includes the new Epson Scan 3.2 and Epson Creativity Suite. Epson Scan is designed to make scanning easy with its automatic mode and home mode. The needs of the advanced user are addressed with the professional mode. Epson Scan 3.2 offers high compression multi-page PDF scanning and allows ICC profiles to be embedded into the scanned files. Colour reproduction for negative scanning delivers superior image quality in critical or mixed lighting conditions. It also offers an advanced backlight correction to improve the overall visibility in the image. Digital ICE Technology ensures dust and scratches are completely removed from colour films, creating high-quality results.
Additional software includes Adobe PhotoShop Elements 4 (PC) and 3 (Mac) and ABBYY FineReader Sprint 6 Plus. An optional Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is available for small offices that wish to use the Perfection V500 Photo for higher volumes of document scanning.

Rating:  - Great Scanner
Finally found a scanner that can convert 35mm slides to prints without an involved hassle. Altough a bit slow it does a good job of all types of scans, perfect for my home/office needs.
Rating: - Excellent quality for negative scans, but could take a while to scan a lot of negatives.
I was eager to try out this scanner. Several years ago we bought a Canonscan 9950F to convert all our film into digital. At that time I converted 12,000 negatives into digital format. Since then I have used my Canonscan mainly as a flatbed scanner, although occasionally I need to convert a few negatives, for other people or when we use a disposable camera.
I set it up on a Dell Dimension 8100 on an external powered usb port. No problems with installation, ... Read More
Rating:  - Unable to Setup on PC with Vista. Photoshop Software not Vista-Supported.
Well, I've spent over 2 hours trying to install the scanner software on my PC running Vista Ultimate, and so far have not succeeded. The basic software to run the scanner won't start, so I am currently dead in the water.
Hopefully, I'll get this worked out and be able to update this review with scanner performance details.
Also, while the product description for this scanner says that it is designed and optimized for Windows Vista, the included version of Photoshop Elements ... Read More
Rating: - Fascinating and a great value
This is a remarkable, fun and useful device.
Just a few years ago, you would have had to pay through the nose to get a slide and film scanner this good.
Now it is affordable, simple to use and a lot of fun to boot, You really learn quickly that that the slides and negatives you thought were focused sharp as a tack, weren't.
The Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 included with the package will not work with Vista and it is at least two versions behind. Still a good, ... Read More
Rating: - Impressive, Big and Impressive, Very Impressive
I wanted a slide scanner because I've got a lot of slides my husband and I took four decades ago. We have no way to view them, other than to hold them up to a light, not very satisfactory. So, I was really looking forward to this.
When it came I was surprised at the size of it. This is a behemoth. I sort of pictured something much smaller, like those little photo scanners you see in the electronic section of Target. And you had to plug it into the wall, my Cannon scanner gets its power from the ... Read More
