Pros: Incredible quality scans, easy setup, professional quality photo reproduction! Cons: Bundled software could use some refining
When I first started looking for a new scanner, it was because I had previously purchased several film scanners and was not happy with any of them,, and found that the manufacturers exaggerated many of their "features". I am very picky about the quality...
Pros: Easy to Use. Great images for price. Slide/negative scanning capability. Cons: No power button. Less than perfect slide scanning.
This scanner performs beautifully considering the price that one has to pay for it. When I bought it, I was looking for a scanner that could handle flatbed as well as negative/slide scanning, without costing thousands of dollars. It comes with a template...
Pros: nice features, easy to set up Cons: none that I can think of
I just recently purchased the Epson Perfection 1650 photo flatbed scanner and I am very pleased. I wasn't really sure why I bought it, maybe because it had that "hi-tech" look to it. Then I brought it home. My old scanner looked like it came...
Pros: Superb resolution, colors, and quality when scanning slides, negatives, or anything for that matter. Cons: None. Solved the problem with it cutting off part of the negatives.
First off, for those who read the review by mew-mew regarding the scanner cutting off 1 to 1.5mm of a slide/negative on each side - don't be skeptical! I went ahead and bought the scanner anyway, and I now have an answer to that problem.
Pros: Auto mode, ease of installation, ease of use Cons: No user-defined parameters for color correction in the auto-scan mode.
I also have a 1650, the Photo version. I really like the automatic mode! It automatically detects the type of original (photo, document, etc.) and automatically determines how many are on the scanner plate. If the photos are not aligned properly, the...
Pros: worked for 2 years Cons: Doesn't work properly with Windows XP
We've had this scanner for a couple of years, running under Windows 98. In general it worked well, although the "Epson Smart Panel" software was a bit flaky--sometimes (say 1 in 20) the interface screen came up completely black. (If you by luck clicked ...
Pros: good scanning quality on both photos and 35mm slides Cons: no automatic document feeder, slow scanning in higher res
The scanner was easily set up through its usb connection.
It includes four shortcut buttons to common functions: Scan, Copy, E-mail Attachment, and Scan to Web (via Epson PhotoCenter, a free photo-sharing Web site). The Perfection 1650 Photo has a...
Pros: Easy to use. Good quality Cons: Annoying clicking sound, even when not in operation, no power switch.
Like the scanner, image quality, ease of use. However, for some reason, the scanner makes this faint clicking sound while plugged in (there is no power switch, so the only way to stop the clicking is to unplug the unit). Might sound trivial, but it is...
Pros: High quality enlargements, high speed, excellent value Cons: Enabling negative scan function is awkward
This is a spectacular piece of equipment that really stands out. I had previously been using a Canon F620U and have been more than happy with the upgrade. It has really been obvious that it is a superior piece of equipment when put to the task of...
I was pleasantly surprised by Epson Perfection 1650 when I purchased it a few months ago for my web design firm. We needed a replacement for our HP Scanner which had exceeded its life expectancy, and after some extensive research, we went ahead with the...
Pros: Quality scans. Cons: Scanned crooked. Makes clicking noise, even when off. Had to have it repaired. Way overpriced.
I actually visited epinions.com to read the reviews on this scanner, along with a few other sites. So I was really surprised after I purchased and hooked up my scanner.
It was scanning documents crooked. And it was making a distinct...
Pros: Easy setup, simple to use, sleek and stylish. Cons: Pricey!
I feel kinda awkward writing this review having done so little with the scanner so far - but I wanted to give my impressions of my "out of the box" experience.
I own an older Mac G3 and a Umax Astra scanner. I do not have that scanner hooked...
Pros: very nice quality negative scans, well balanced in color and contrast Cons: it cuts off ca 1.5 millimeters on all sides of your 35 mm negative :-(
I used this baby to scan about 60-100 negatives. No experience on the flatbed part, sorry...
Installation was easy, the interface had me puzzled for a minute... It asked me to indicate the target... no 'scan to file' there... ??? Then I...
