Epson Perfection V550

Good scanner

Excelent scaner. Love it.

Ideal for making digital copies of 120 negatives

So far the scans made from 50+ year old 120 format negatives have exceeded expestations. Having read about this scanner I was disapointed that I was unable to examine/purchase one locally in W.A.

Student/Business

It is a great addition to my office machines. I have not used it for pictures. But i got it with that in mind as i have 100 year old family photos. I am a student and it is seriously helping me with that. Because i needed a commercial printer for grad school i got one without scan capability.

Then, too, there are several midrange photo scanners in between, including the topic of this review, Epson's $199.99-list Perfection V550 Photo Color Scanner-which, as you'll see as you read on, is a fine little scanner in its own right, even if Epson neglected to include image-editing software… A...

"Epson V550 Photo Scanner"

I have to admit, this product is awesome. Wow! My parents bought us one of this last year so we can scan our old photos and keep them in high definition. I was suprised on how our old photos turned out to look after we scaned them using Espon Perfection V550 Photo.

GREAT FOR MEMORIES

I am 60 year old. I use it for the scanning of old negatives and old photos. It feels great that negatives and photos can be digitized for my family and future generations to enjoy.

Epson Perfection V550 Scanner Review

Features Handling Performance Verdict Specification The Epson Perfection V550 was announced on September 18, 2013. It is the size of a larger classic domestic flatbed scanner and of a similar weight, capable of scanning up to A4 documents as well as 35mm and 120mm film.

Works well

Quick to start and provides good quality scans. Turns itself off after a while of non-use which is good. However the on switch is hidden on the side towards the back which is fiddly to find if you have the scanner next to other things. A switch on the front would have been better.

Epson Perfection V550 Photo Color Scanner Review

The Epson Perfection V550 Photo Color Scanner makes high-quality scans from both photos and film, and can scan directly to Facebook and cloud-based sites. Epson has a knack for making good photo and film scanners that don't break the bank, and the Epson Perfection V550 Photo Scanner($700.00 at Amazon) is no exception. It is very similar to the Editors' Choice Epson Perfection V500 , which it's replacing, but with two notable differences. It adds a utility that easily uploads scans to email, Facebook, and several cloud-based services. Gone, however, is Photoshop Elements, leaving the V550 without a bundled photo-editing program. Still, it brings to the table impressive scan quality, the ability to scan multiple 35mm slides or film negatives, and the Digital Ice hardware-based solution for film scanning. All this earns it the Editors' Choice for photocentric flatbed scanners. The V550 measures 4.6 by 11.2 by 19.1 inches and weighs 9.6 pounds. It has a maximum scan area of 8.5 by 11.7 inches, and a maximum optical resolution of 6,400 dpi. It can scan up to four 35mm slides, two rows of six negatives each, or medium-format film, with ...
