Archaic Software, Difficult to load and unload
I want to like this scanner. Images are just ok. The software is circa 2010 and doesn't provide many of the conventions you'd expect in 2020. To use this, you physically have to place a plastic guide on the flatbed. It doesn't clip in and it moves every time you try to dig slides out after scanning. And because of this design, there is no way to avoid getting fingers and dust on the glass unless you wear gloves and have the air off in the house. There is no quick way to use this device due to the loading and unloading process. Do NOT buy this if you have anything more than a handful of slides to scan.

fast scanning of slides
slide cleanup feature works well and the colour enhancement is impressive.

Great scanner for basic film scanning on a budget. I don’t really have any complaints

gets the job done but is super slow and has a blue scale on every photo which is easy to correct

Good value
Hardware is excellent quality for the price. The scans are good and the images clear. The software and user interface is not very good as the instructions for choosing the settings could be more complete. I would have benefited from a step-by-step to scanning slides. Also, there are multiple windows that appear during the process and you have to already have chosen the filename before you start scanning. Only the first window is expandable to your screen, so screens like the preview screen is very small, thus not allowing you to really judge image quality or if you have debris on the picture. This could be a much better project with a revised user interface.

A good value.
I bought this scanner to scan medium format negatives. It provided great resolution. I also scanned 35mm negatives and slides and am happy with the results. So far I’ve scanned about 2000 film images.

Exceeded expectations
Just scanned my first 300 pictures and couldn't be happier. Haven't even used half of this units features but it has created wonderful results. Highly recommended.

Some good Some bad
I bought this mainly to scan old photos and it does a pretty nice job. I especially like the fact that you can put a number of photos on the glass at one time. And, the images are pretty darned good. On the other hand, the software is not working well on Windows 10. It stops and gives me error messages. It can be a bit frustrating. I have to reboot the scanner every so often or close the software and reopen it. So, it's not as great as I had hoped. I've only had it a short while - a couple of weeks, so I hope to become better at using some of the features.

GREAT SOFTWARE
So far scanned 200 of 4x6 photos at 2400 and it did well except for color restore that was not great. easy to use speed for 4X6 at 2400 was 2-3 Min. not bad for pictuires you want to keep on jpg. if you need faster just reduce quality

Works great!
I've tried using other software with it like Silverfast and others, but the standard Epson software works best. I would recommend this highly.

Great for scanning 35 mm slides
Bought this last year and just start scanning slides. Really works well and is easy to use. Comes with a cd so you may need to use with a pc that has a cd/dvd drive.

Perfect for Film Scanning in 2020
Perfect condition and item was received exactly as described. Was able to easily set it up with a new (2019) Macbook Pro for film scanning purposes. Came with instructions on installation features and all necessary film trays and cords. Thanks Adorama for your awesome service!!

Good investment!
Gave me more control over the development process. If you're shooting frequently and have the time to scan, this is the product for you. Time consuming, but worth the investment.

Does it all.
I have many old photos that I don't want to lose. I chose the Epson v550 because it can do up to 5 photos at a time and the resolution was high. The 550 met all those standards and more. Easy to set up. Needs a little more explanation on how to get started but once I figured it out things went very smoothly. The quality is exceptional

Very capable scanner with excellent software and built-in corrections
Very pleased with the purchase of a refurbished unit. It was in excellent condition and all the parts were included. The package was shipped very securely even though it was not in the original packaging. We have been scanning our home photo collection and the process is easy and the quality of the scans is very good. The dust remover has been helpful. I especially like the color correction feature on older photos. I had some old yellowing photos that now look completely different with all the color restored.

It is a wonderful scanner
I purchased this scanner years ago, but did not install it until I had Windows 10 on my computer. The drivers for Windows 10 were not included on the disc that came for set up, but I downloaded them and it installed wonderfully well.

Excellent Condition, Slow Scanner
In excellent condition. Scanning with Epson programs is a slow, and after the Mac update that killed 32-bit programs went through, regular old Epson Scan didn't work. Downloading Epson Scan 2 fixed the issue, although it was a littttttle harder to figure out and I noticed an initial drop in scan quality that I since fixed. I understand using programs other than Epson Scan makes for better scans but I have yet to pull the trigger on that.

Communication Error
I love WHEN the scanner works! Randomly stop communicating with my computer. Did everything that Everyone says. Compatebility issues...works with Windows 8. For awhile then nothing again and again. Now can't get anything to work. Even reinstalled it.
Ready to throw it out. I have wasted SO MUCH TIME.
Wouldn't recommend.

Easy to use
The best I can say for this scanner is, it is super easy to use. I purchased it to scan photos to my computer and the quality of the scanned photos is fair. I tried the higher resolution and it doesn't help at all. It is a shame as I invested so much money years ago in a top notch camera and 800 speed film only to have them look so so when scanned with the Epson V550.

Good but could be better
The V550 makes great copies of photos and documents but the software could be a little better. The one thing I find to be a pain is that after every scan you need to save it to a file even if all your copies are going to the same place and it seems I am getting duplicate files if I select to over write the old file.
Also when I right click on a photo to rename or delete the words are coming up in Chinese.
Other than that it copies great.
