The Epson v700 is hands down the best and most affordable scanner for professional film scans available. In my experience, the performance increase a Nikon coolscan 9000 or a Hasselblad flextight will give you over this scanner is negligible; and the Epson is usually much faster.

Love this scanner. This was my second one I bought and does not disappoint. (Unfortunately my first one had an accident). Although this time when I ordered it I did send it back and received another one due to too many dust particles under the glass.

I found the scanner easy to use and I am certainly no expert. I needed it to scan high def scans of old family photos and slides for use in reprinting. It has software that enables to you correct flaws in the photos or slides and they translate very well into good quality prints.

I bought this scanner to digitize antique glass plates and slides from a historical society collection. It does an excellent job on 8 X 10 glass plates using the Film Area Guide and on magic lantern glass slides (3-1/4 X 3-7/8).

Easy Setup

" So far so good, only had it a day but the results so far are great. A little disappointed with the negative carriers but once you get used to them there fine. Excellent results on scans.

I have processed approximately 2000 colour slides, colour negative film and black and white negatives total. The quality settings are very flexible and the resulting scans are excellent although somewhat time consuming at the highest quality settings..

Excellent product. 15.000 photos from films and slides scaned with ease and accuracy. If you have a big stock of photos don’t worry. Highly recommended.

I've used this scanner side by side with a Nikon 5000D dedicated film/slide scanner for about two months. This scanner can handle many different negative formats without sacrificing resolution or color quality.

Great value; Handles any negative (or positive) format/size

Dust removal feature is poor

I've used one of these scanners in college multiple times and was very satisfied with the quality of the scans. I scanned 35mm, Medium Format and Large Format film in it and all came out very nice.

Great image quality; Very affordable

none that aren't with every flatbed scanner

Found that the RS price was best buy online at the time. Original order cancelled, called customer service, they confirmed order and price were valid and in stock. They reordered another one for me. The order was cancelled again. I called to get a supervisor to find out why.

Accurate Color; Easy To Set Up; Good Bit Depth; Good Resolution
