Digital camera reviews of Epson Perfection V700 Photo Color Scanner
Digital camera Review: Four half stars, mostly perfect but not quite. For serious photographers.
Summary: 4 Stars
My father in law, who has been scanning in thousands of slides, negatives and photos going back at least 60 years brought samples of every kind of photographic data to my house to test out this scanner.
In the past I have scanned in many, many 35mm with a Canonscan 9950F.
This scanner needed more stringent evaluation, it is obviously a powerhouse designed for serious users.
We set up on DELL XPS 600 with Windows XP. Hardware setup easy, even for beginners. Someone with experience would not even need directions.
Tried the scanner with 35mm slides, 35mm negatives, black and white color photos of different levels of quality. It worked well with all of them and was able to restore poor quality photos automatically. He had some slides that are in 7mm square cardboard frames (Ektacrome) takes more creativity to fit into the holders and has to be sort of kludged together. Those of us with some really old photographic material would appreciate the flexibility to perhaps purchase other holders for stranger sizes. Understandably, they would not be included since most people would not need them.
Color restoration on AutoScan was ok, but not Photoshop quality.
Professional mode has many good choices of setting and produced superb results. Digital Ice works well to remove dust.
We could not figure out how to do multiple scans in professional mode. This may be due to the designers figuring that if you are using professional mode that you want to tweak the inputs yourself. Went to create new field for storage and everything disappeared and had to spend time figuring out where the scan was sent.
It is an excellent idea that that transparency feature is built into the machine. Top does not flop down easily, might not seem like a big deal but makes the media much easier to load when you don't have to hold up the top with one hand. Scanning multiple pages to pdf is great and very functional. The computer file user guide was useful.
This is not a scanner for you if you want a simple product to input a few family photos. If you are serious about digitizing years worth of photos or want to do specific detail work with your pictures then you may want to invest in it. It has more flexibility than most scanners for digitizing images.
