didn't work, HORRIBLE customer service
I am a big fan of Epson's printers. But this scanner has been a nightmare. I bought it in June of 2008, and started scanning my vast archive of negatives. I soon noticed that there were color bands showing up on the right side of my images, detrimental to more subtle images with washes of cloudy sky, etc.
I called Epson, and they referred me to a service center. so I drove the 45 minutes and dropped it off. They spent a month replacing part after part, and then couldn't test the scanner to see if it worked or not, and wanted me to drive up there and give them some negatives to test. Don't you think a service center should be able to test a scanner? Wow.
So I call customer service and tell them that I am ... Read More

Could be a bit faster for film but the scans and the software are great
Excellent product
The Epson Perfection V750 is a highly versatile, professional-level scanner with its full feature software (SilverFast Ai, etc). However with this high-level comes complexity that is more appropriate for the professional or dedicated, skilled amateur. As other Amazon reviewers have noted before me, the outstanding reviews of the 750 and the 700 at www.photo-i.co.uk gives an in-depth review of the two products.
Superb scanner
I purchased the Epson Perfection V750-M Pro scanner to replace an old (and failing) product from another maker. In short, the name says it all: Perfection! It handles negatives and slides better than my dedicated film scanner at resolutions up to 4800 dpi. If you put six small prints on the glass screen and push ONE button, it will recognized the prints as separate entities and scan them all separately with no intervention from the user. I've been using it to rehabilitate some very old prints, both B&W and color, and it has done an amazing job. Digital ICE and color correction are both built-in. I recommend this scanner HIGHLY.
Sharp images intuitive to use.
Quick setup, intuitive controls and function. Sharp images (extremely clear and sharp dust specks) correctable using the enclosed software. Contrast and brightness needs correction by editing. So far like it very much.
Somewhat bulky on the desk. Scans 12x35mm slides at a time. By the time I've selected the 12 images, put them into the slide holder, scanned, edited and assigned a name and replaced the slides in the box -- that's about all I can do in an evening. Maybe I'll get quicker and slicker as I learn.
