V700 Scanner
on October 30, 2010

A good scanner; stable, reliable, consistent, and capable of excellent scans. I have used it for the past year for scanning photos only and will start scanning negatives in the next few months.
Only the SilverFast SE that came bundled with the scanner needs to be upgraded; the other programs were fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This scanner does an amazing job scanning our old black and white negatives and slides. Just came yesterday and it is performing up to and beyond what I had hoped.

Finally bought one for home

I used a V700 for several years at work and when I saw a sale, saving over $100, I could not resist. The V700 is great for everything (film or print) you need to image; books are a little tricky and be careful of copyright issues. I highly recommend this scanner!

Great scanner

Great scanner! Easy to learn how to use and very versatile as far as sizes and the results are very high quality! Considering the cost of high res scans...well worth the investment.

Great scanner with dust trapped under glass
on February 14, 2012
Posted by: Greg
I bought five of these scanners two years ago, and every model had a lot of dust trapped under the glass at the time of purchase. I exchanged most of them, but even the exchanged models still had a few large pieces of dust stuck under the glass with no way to remove them. Perhaps these were specs of glue from the assembly process. Apart from having to remove specs with Photoshop, it is an excellent scanner, although built-in dust is beyond disappointing.
And with every Epson scanner I've purchased over the years, with very little use, scanning the white backing always produces darkening at the top few inches. I've addressed this with techs before and they always assure me that the darkening isn't typical. I've experienced this with every v700 I own and with older models from Epson on a variety of Macs.
I hope the quality control has improved, because I'm about to buy more, lacking a better choice. The specs are great and Epson is a great company, but it not perfect if you have an eye for detail.
I would recommend this to a friend!

From 3170 to V700
on January 17, 2012
Posted by: Sparky
from Tampa, Fl
I've had the Epson 3170 for a few years now and have never had a problem or a complaint. Were it not for the limits on scanning negatives I wouldn't need the V700. For issues of technology I don't fully comprehend, negative scanners have until recently been expensive.
My father a portrait photographer in an early part of his life left behind a lot of negatives many of which are larger than medium format. With the 3170 I got good service in photos but limited service because of cropped negatives. The 3170 had no frame for 35mm slides either and I had to wing it there.
With the V700 I have frames for 35mm film, 35mm slides, medium format negatives, 4"x 5" negatives. Larger negatives are laid out on the scanner up to 8x10. The software of the V700 isn't much of a change from the 3170 so you don't have to figure out a new system. I use it in conjunction with Photoshop 7. The trial Photoshop 9 bundled doesn't show me much more than than the 7. Then again I'm not the brightest bulb on the Photoshop tree.
The V700 does photos as well as photo transparencies/negatives. I moved up to the V700 for that reason and I'm quite happy. My 3170 will produce as good an image within it's dimensions. But if you have 6x8 negatives, or bigger you're gonna need this machine.
