Not so bad

Advantages: Decent Scans
Disadvantages: Price

literature, a detail is a small piece of information within a paragraph. A detail usually exists to support or explain a main idea. In the following excerpt from Dr. Samuel Johnson's Lives of the English Poets, the first sentence is the main idea, that Joseph Addison is a skilled "describer of life and manners". The succeeding sentences are details that support and explain the main idea in a specific way. :As a describer of life and manners, he must ...
...rank. His humour, which, as Steele observes, is peculiar to himself, is so happily diffused as to give the grace of novelty to domestic scenes and daily occurrences. He never "o'ersteps the modesty of nature," nor raises merriment or wonder by the violation of truth. His figures neither divert by distortion nor amaze by aggravation. He copies life with so much fidelity that he can be hardly said to invent; yet his exhibitions have an air so much ...

Epson 4490

Advantages: Excellent quality when scanning slides and negatives
Disadvantages: Professional mode could cause problems for the novice used

...Previously I had the Epson 2480 and although this was good, it is no match for the 4490,expected really with the time elasped between the release of the models. With the resolution set at least 2400dpi and with only unsharp mask and colour restoration selected the faded slides and neagatives were nearly as new. There are a few points that should be noted. If you are a novice and just want to scan something quickly without having to set different ...
...selecting colour restoration and Background correction when they are not needed, you can have a negative effect on what would have been not such a bad scan, if these items were left alone. Also, as with many scanners if you want a good result but with an equally fast time for scanning,you won't get it. You need to move up in the market for quality and speed. All in all I wouldn't change the scanner with another in the same range. The digital ICE ...

Picture Perfect

Advantages: Versatile scanner for more detailed reproduction
Disadvantages: A bit bulky

I had an Epson perfection 1650 and it was long over due for a replacement upgrade. As I never had any real problems with my previous Epson I decided I would stick with the same brand an go for the Perfection V700 - a scanner designed specifically for photo scanning but that also acts as an all-purpose scanner. It incorporates Twain and WIA drivers that let you scan from most compatible programs. There also an optical character recognition (OCR) program ...
...downside is the tendency for Epson to produce rather bulky ugly looking scanners and the V700 certainly follows in this tradition. Setting upTo use the scanner you first of all have to unlock it. At the back of the unit you will find a transportation lock that you have to slide towards the left to unlock. The lock is only necessary during transportation and can be left unlocked during normal use. The transparency unit must also be unlocked, this ...

Epson Perfection.......Again

Advantages: Excellent scan quality, Full version of SilverFast Ai
Disadvantages: Little Diffrence from V700, Film holders are a little flimsy for a pro scanner.

...as follows :- The Epson V700 Photo scanner was trageted at the high end consumer. Whereas the V750 is targeted for the more professional user. The V750 has an Anti-Reflection Optical Coating as well as CCD Glass to help reduce the ammount of reflection. These are Features that Only a professional would look for when buying this type of product and are not all needed for you casual high end consumer in my opinion. The V750 also includes a full version ...
...I recomend sticking with the EPSON brand but selecting a newer model. SPECIFICATION Scanner Type Flatbed color image scanner with Epson Dual Lens System®, High-Pass Optics and Digital ICE™ Technologies Photoelectric Device Color Epson MatrixCCD™ line sensor Optical Resolution Epson Dual Lens System, 4800 dpi and 6400 dpi Hardware Resolution 4800 x 9600 dpi, 6400 x 9600 dpi with Micro Step Drive™ technology Maximum Resolution 12,800 x 12,800 ...

Review of Epson Perfection V750 Pro

Updating the Ark

Advantages: Low purchase price, versatility, good results
Disadvantages: It's noisy, not really for the serious photographer

...decided to go for the Epson Perfection V300 Photo scanner, which set me back £72.56 on Amazon. I have been using 3-in-1 scanners for years now, so it seemed strange to have a dedicated flatbed scanner again and whilst this model is sleek and stylish in black, it is also quite large. Fortunately it is lightweight and easy to move about if need be. The scanner came with software CD, mains adaptor, photo template and USB lead. Connecting it was trickier ...
...around this by visiting the Epson website and downloading the drivers from there, but I still was a little confused because I couldn't immediately access the instruction manual - which was, as most of these things are these days, on the CD. I managed to locate the instructions online, which was just as well as I was completely baffled as to how I could scan negatives and slides using the photo template which came with the scanner on first impressions. ...
