The high-resolution Perfection V500 Photo scanner from Epson is the ideal tool for both amateur and professional photographers alike!Equipped with LED Epson ReadyScan technology, the Perfection V500 Photo scanner uses environmentally-friendly white LEDs, and because it requires no warm-up time, it is ready to run in an instant!Thanks to its DIGITAL ICE technology, the Perfection V500 Photo detects and corrects imperfections in scanned documents, and it will even remove dust particles from slide films. With an exceptional 6400x9600 dpi optical resolution and 3.4 Dmax optical density, it delivers high-definition scans in finite detail.When it comes to transparencies, the Perfection V500 Photo scanner?s 68.6 x 236.9 mm format lets you scan up to twelve 35mm negatives, 4 slides or 1 medium-format film (6 x 12).Finally, the Perfection V500 Photo scanner has 4 buttons, so you can start, copy and scan to email or PDF with no trouble at all!

Summary: Not completely Apple Mac friendly
Comment: I purchased this item because I've had Epson scanners in the past which have been good. However, if you are an Apple Macintosh user as I am, you should be aware that the four scan buttons on the front of the scanner, ie Scan, Scan to Email, Scan to PDF and Scan to File will not work with a Mac - they are for use on a PC only.
The only way to scan a document/photo on a Mac is to use your photo editing program, ie Photoshop and go to File, Import.
Nowhere on the Epson website (or Amazon) does it tell you this. I had to contact Epson's technical support when I couldn't get any of the buttons to work and then returned it to Amazon for full refund.

Summary: Epson Perfection - the name says it all
Comment: Like the previous reviewer I bought this scanner since I wanted to scan a lot of old family photos and documents. I also wanted something to use as a general purpose scanner for my home based business. The results are amazing! I cant fault this piece of kit and I've used it a lot. It's also great for scanning documents to PDF and attaching to emails etc.. The software that comes with the scanner is easy to use too. I've tried scanning at high resolution settings and lower and this scanner never fails to deliver. Negative and slides are exceptional quality too. It's very quiet - handy for scanning late into the night and not disturbing others in the house. Don't worry about parting with your hard earned cash on this scanner - just buy it - it's a real steal at this price and you will not be disappointed.

Summary: Surpasses expectation - ideal for family tree enthusiasts
Comment: This is a fabulous product at a fabulous price. I wanted to scan old family photos, some dating back to the early 1900s that were not in good shape. The scanner is not only easy to use but the results are excellent. There are slide cases, too, for scanning slides, which I haven't tried yet. I scan from Photoshop. Just go into Photoshop and select File - Import - Epson V500 and it's done, or you can simply press the scan button on the front of the machine. Scanners I have used in the past have been confusing and complicated - not this one. The machine wants to scan at 100%, but you can easily adjust the pixel amount in the Customize menu. This is great for my old photos, some of which are quite small. I have a great photo of a Victorian family gathered under an oak tree, complete with big mustaches and wasp waists. The picture is sadly fading, but the scanned image is a great improvement and has brought back a surprising amount of lost detail simply with Auto Contrast. You can also scan documents - if you are into family trees, this means wedding certificates etc - and you can even scan useable text. The quality of this scanner is great. Unless you are a professional photographer, why spend more?
