Note: If you're using this for film (I am) you need the film holders that shipped with it originally. I 3D printed some but I think you can find them pretty easily online. It seems to be the same part as the V600. A nice little scanner that can do either documents or camera film. The software impressed me, there's no bloat and even though this scanner came out in 2007 there's a version for Windows 11 and MacOS 10.15. I use it on an older version of MacOS and the only issue is I have to jiggle the mouse between frames or it stops scanning. Weird, but not a dealbreaker. It's not particularly fast, but it's not too slow either. At a decent resolution and using digital ICE (which doubles scan times) it took about 15 minutes to scan around 8 frames. It automatically crops images, and though I haven't found out how to turn this off, I'm pretty happy with the job it does. Colors don't come out particularly vivid, but images 'straight out of the camera' usually need to be edited anyway. I'm uploading a shot professionally edited and scanned by a film lab, and my own edited shot scanned on this scanner. I could have done a better job removing dust, but otherwise they are very similar.Read full review

Unit was very easy to setup, initial scans were good until I scanned a larger picture which contained blue dots. After further ivestigation I notice dust am Flint under the glass. To save time I disassembled and cleaned the unit myself. Not happy!

VERY easy to set up! VERY easy to run. GREAT scans! The only reason I gave it a 'GOOD' rating rather than an 'Excellent' one, is that the slide and film holders are really quite flimsy, and I have looked to buy a replacement for the and can't find them anywhere, even on the Epson website! This scanner replaced an HP scanner I bought in 1995, and the only reason I replaced it is because my new computer won't accept the SCSI card to run that scanner, running Win-Vista Premier 64-bit. The old scanner is an 8½"x14" flatbed and this one is 8½"x11". However, the new one scans film and transparencies utilizing a light head in the cover, which is the correct way to do it. Most scanners in this lower price-range use reflected light to scan slides and negs, which results in terrible scans. I also have a Microtec flatbed/film scanner that cost $650.00 back in 1998, and this one compares with the Microtec, but runs on a USB connection rather than the SCSI connection.Read full review
This is my second purchase of a Epson V500 Scanner. The first was over 5 years ago and it's running just find. I bought this unit for a friend to replace an all in one cheap Epson Printer that just died after 1 year. To replace the printer side of my friends needs I purchase a used Samsung C1810W Color Cartridge Printer. I shall both the Samsung Color Printer & the Epson V500 to replace that failed Epson Printer. I currently have a Samsung C1810W printer of my own & it has performed extremely well over the last 7 years. I purchased this same printer for my son and he's had the same great level of satisfaction.

I bought this scanner with the intention of converting hundreds of color negative strips and slides to digital images. It was very easy to set up and use. As it turned out, scanning actual photos instead of the negative strips produced a higher-quality image in much less time. I have yet to take full advantage of the software provided with the unit but am already very pleased with its performance.
