Epson Perfection V600 Photo Wired USB Connectivity Color Scanner - 6400 x 9600 dpi, Enlargements up to 17" x 22" Flatbed Image Scanner

I am going through slides and negatives, 35mm and Medium format from my dad's past life starting from the 1960s. So it's A LOT. You will need A LOT of time on your hands and a very understanding family if you need to save all these memories that you have probably never ever seen before. I am using a high end spec Alienware notebook from 2015 to do this. I have gone through the trouble to time how long it takes to scan 35mm slides in different settings. 4 35mm Slides Scan for Positive 4800dpi 48bit Color Correction w/ ICE: 10min 29sec w/ Medium Dust Removal: 5min 44sec w/o Dust Removal: 5min 41sec Those Kodak slides from way back then will have dust in them if not growing on them. The Epson software dust removal is NOTHING. It's pretty much just like w/o dust removal. It's a worthless setting. Grain Reduction is noticeable but not by much. Color Restoration setting is like magic. Those old slides will have tinted to a magenta color by now, so you'll need that. Digital ICE Technology setting, now that makes a HUGE difference. Those dust specs disappear completely. I recommend this setting if you have the time. 60 slide magazine, 4 slides at a time, will take you 157.5minutes if you were a robot. 2hrs, 37.5min a magazine. I purchased an Amazon Recertified one of these and it works great! If you have an understanding family or a lot of spare time, I recommend this. If you don't then just get one of those $150 toys that you just push a slide in and press a button like a conveyor belt. Or pay someone or a company to scan them in for you.

A work saver for our church newsletter team. Easy to use and high resolution photo scans.

Junk! This V600 deserves a rating below zero. The scanner completely died after using it 3 times within weeks of the purchase. Epson said that the scanner had been originally purchased five years before I bought it so that it had no warranty. So the sale was shady. I could not get a replacement or a refund because it was sold by a third-party. Buyer beware of a scam. I wish I could get this purchase zero or negative stars.

Expensive but worth it.

While the packing was a mess, THIS Scanner is absolutely amazing. The quality is great. The high resolution scanning is superb. Be advised....... Epson stopped making this scanner a year ago. If you can find one grab it.

If you have a bunch of old negatives and color slides sitting around, gathering dust, slowly decaying, the V600 is the answer to your question. Very easy to use, extremely versatile, takes up little space, and is quiet. I should have gotten it years ago.

Since my recently mother died I have been trying to bring sense out of chaos of family documents going back at least 130 years. This is very good and easy to use for slides, photos and postcards. However, it is only okay for documents. I have to put a piece of black cardstock cardboard behind all the back sides of photos with writing on them and do the same for the back side of all postcards if I want to copy them. It would be nice if the panel on the lid had a black side so this was unnecessary,

Purchased this early as a Father’s Day present for my husband. He opened it to use on Father’s Day. The scanner didn’t move. Took it to Best Buy to see if it was something we were doing wrong. They said it was defective. Seller won’t replace or refund.

Estoy realmente contento con esta compra, lo único que me quejo es que es un poco lento

This is a simple. joyous scanner to use. The software is well thought out and very powerful. The ability to clean up files automatically while scanned (dust, scratches, etc...) is well executed with the hardware in the scanner. I started using it primarily to take 4000 old colour negatives and convert to digital. You can load up to 12 at a time if you have them in 6 negative strips. The scanning time is about 5 minutes per negative if you are using relatively high resolution (3200) and ICE technology to clean up the dust and small scratches on the negatives. The results were extremely impressive. With my set up each TIFF file was about 30MB and ready for import into Lightroom for further improvement. For regular printed photographs it is average and produces OK results. Try and find your negatives if you can. I also did 300 very old (50+ year old) family colour slides. They were in very poor shape and very faded. The recovery ability of this scanning software was amazing, particularly in the colour recovery. It was wonderful though to see the different colour tones of the old slide films of yesteryear. While tedious to do (I did about 100 per day while puttering around during late winter), you will never regret having converted them into digital for viewing at your leisure or with an electronic picture frame. If you use new high MP (24-36) digital cameras and appropriate lenses you will notice how good these new cameras are compared to old film cameras and lenses if you had only consumer grade equipment many years ago, particularly in the area of sharpness at 100%. I use it regularly now for scanning B+W film shooting I do now and avoiding the contact sheet step. I can review all the negatives and select the best ones for printing (via light and chemicals the old fashioned way) much better than the old test sheets. If you wish you can instead print them digitally on a high quality photographic printer (yours or in store). It will also act as a regular scanner for documents etc... All this at an unbelievably low price and great Amazon service.

Um bom scanner para digitalizar tanto cromos como negativos. Nenhuma dificuldade em configurar, basta instalar o software. O resultado é bem satisfatório, especialmente se o objetivo pretendido é utilizar as imagens em plataformas digitais. No caso de impressão, um scanner mais "pesado" (como o 850) é mais adequado.

Working great, and the quality of the images it produces is great, especially slides. I was very impressed with the quality of the slide to digital image conversion. The image preview option lets you do all kinds of image correction and cropping very easily and intuitively before you do a final scan. All easy one-click type stuff that a beginner can figure out. Things you need to know though are (1) the slide holder is like a stencil that positions the slides on the tray in the right spot. You can't load slides into a separate slide holder and swap them to be quicker; (2) when scanning slides you need to place the shiny side of the slide downwards; (3) do not use colour correction when scanning slides; (4) and most importantly YOU HAVE TO RUN EPSON SCAN AS ADMINISTRATOR ON YOUR COMPUTER OR IT WILL CRASH CONSTANTLY. Google "Epson Scan unstable" and you will see what I mean. Running as administrator makes it work flawlessly; (5) when scanning film slides your film type is "Positive Film." I scan hard copy photos in 48-bit colour at 1200 dpi with unsharp mask and colour restoration on and they look great at about 9MB each file. Takes about 1.5 minutes to scan a photo. So far I would definitely buy it again.

Es un excelente equipo si quieres tratar tus viejos negativos o tu proyectos personales, eficiente y además por el precio no hay mejor opción.
