" I recently purchased the Epson Perfection V600 based on recommendations by several members in my photography club. Based on the price for this unit my expectations were low - what a pleasant surprise when I started using it.

Purchased to scan 30 plus years worth of 35mm B&W negatives; performs extremely well; also does an excellent job on 35mm color negatives and 35mm slides. Instructions should provide more information and explanation.

This is a good flatbed scanner for the average person. It is a very inexpensive flat bed scanner and it produces good results. I just wanted something to scan family photos, negatives, and slide film for archive purposes. This fit my needs and budget perfectly.

High quality, Easy to use; Can scan slides and pictures

Not the perfect solution for scanning slide film

I though it was just me, but after a generous friend who specialises in Mac IT had wrestled with it for two hours, it became abundantly clear that the 2014 software supplied with the Epson Perfection 600 is sufficiently bug-riddled to fail in all of its advanced functions; I was able to kick-start...

This scanner is so easy to use, fast, and the scans are well done -- true to color and clear. I like the mode choices, especially the full auto mode. It works really well when I don't have to make any adjustments. When I use the other modes, I get what I want.

I have several thousand pictures, negatives and slides that I intend to convert int digital images as I have just retired and am under pressure to share lots of them!

The Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner is an excellent photo scanner that offers all the tools and capabilities that photo buffs of every level could want, including a built-in transparency unit and the ability to scan slides, negatives, and medium-format film.

Fast and high-quality scans of photos and documents; Four buttons with commonly used utilities on the machine; Comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements; Customizable scan interface for different levels of users

Missing a paper instruction manual (all details via a Web site; Lots of scanning options means more time trying to figure out what you need

This is a decent general purpose scanner. It performs well with non-transparent materials. Be aware that it will scan 35mm and 120 (medium format) film, but not to the same quality as a dedicated film scanner; if are primarily interested in scanning film however, look for a dedicated film scanner...

Epson has introduced Epson Perfection V600 Photo, billed as an energy-efficient scanner for photographers.

You can usually count on Epson scanners to deliver better than average bang for the buck. The Epson Perfection V600 Photo ($249.99 direct, covered by a standard 1-year parts and labor warranty) is no exception.

High-quality scans; Fully automatic mode for easy scanning; Scans both 35mm and medium-format film

Scans only four 35mm slides at a time; Weak on office tasks
