35mm Slide Scanner Reviews

Epson Perfection V500.   Scanners today have indeed gone high tech. Many manufacturers have come up with dedicated and multi-purpose scanners and one that captured my attention is the Epson Perfection V500. At more than $200, this device is worth its value mainly because of its efficiency.

This flatbed scanner that’s available in a sleek black design can scan documents as well as negatives. However, it does its work best when scanning images with 6,400 ppi optical resolution.

To install this device is easy. Installing the software is the first step after which you can already plug in the scanner, connect the USB cable and turn on the power. No need to even wait for it to warm up because with its LED light source, you can immediately start scanning your films. If you’re worried about dust that have accumulated on your negatives and scratches on them, don’t fret as the Digital ICE technology will be able to eliminate it with no fuss.

Scanning using this unit can be done in a variety of ways using the soft-touch buttons. You can either scan to a PDF format image file, copy, email or call up the Epson Twain driver to scan and save a file. The usual three modes – default, home and professional are present to help users in their scanning tasks.

Editing your images is easy as well what with two application programs already bundled in the software. The Photo Elements can help amateur users and photographers edit their images in the most ideal way while the ABBYY FineReader Sprint recognizes the text being scanned and decides on the most suitable format for editing and saving files.
