As with all scanners that include thin holders for film, those parts tend to break first, if any do. Warranty A good warranty and a few quibbles from users. The one-year limited warranty offered by the Epson Perfection V700 is standard among better-quality scanners, and most users don't report...

Multiple user profiles for varying levels of skills; Sophisticated software bundle; Two-lens system offers 6,400 dpi scanning for film; Film and slide adapters included

No automatic document feeder; 6,400 dpi resolution overkill for many users

I bought this scanner to digitize antique glass plates and slides from a historical society collection. It does an excellent job on 8 X 10 glass plates using the Film Area Guide and on magic lantern glass slides (3-1/4 X 3-7/8).

Easy Setup

This is a Review for the Epson Perfection V7000 scanner. This is truly the best scanner I have ever used. The scanner itself is rather large and loud for a scanner, but it does an amazing job scanning in photos.

Except that it has no printed reference book, it seems to be what I wanted and needed. Anexcellent product, but lacking on information.

The scanner works well and is exactly what I thought it was

No printed book

I bought this for our museum to scan some Edwardian glass negatives and I can't say I was over pleased with the purchase. It was pretty complicated to use. It had a number of 'masks' to use with different size negatives and of course if your negatives did not fit these masks then you were left with...

I use it as my 120 film scanner, and I use V ED for my 135 film. V700 is very great for 120, you however have to make sure your film is flat, otherwise the result will be a bit out of focus. The scan speed is very fast if you don't perform ICE. For 6 frame of 6*6, it is only 6 minutes(3200dpi).

Accurate Color; Easy Setup; Excellent Software; Good Bit Depth; Good Resolution; Widely Compatible

Difficult to Keep Clean

Over the last 2 years Epson has produced some exceptional scanners, the 4870 was a cracker, followed a year later by the 4990, which improved the package even further. In short they're great scanners for both flat reflective originals such as photo prints or documents but they also excelled at film...

Excellent scan quality; excellent range of scan tools; software bundle; easy to use

Slow software install; big'n'blocky design; flimsy film holders

The V700 is a very functional piece of equipment. Installation was shockingly simple, as simple as much lower-end scanners. I love it when a new device integrates with no issues. I set up the scanner, ran the install software, turned it on and got the drivers from the disk.

My objective has been to convert 1,000's of old 35 mm slides, film negatives and printed photos to digital images, and then to shed all of the old associated technology. The challenge in selecting a device designed only for film conversion is what to do with it when done.

great versatility; technical support very responsive

user manual insufficient

The V700 offers 6,400-dpi optical resolution (9,600-dpi maximum hardware resolution with Epson Micro Step Drive) and 12,800-dpi maximum interpolated resolution. Transparency scanning is at 48-bit color with 4.0 dynamic range and 16-bit grayscale scanning.
