Scans without the Scams

by shaggerty , Nov 01 '01
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...

Great Price/Great Images

by bombayhog , Aug 04 '02
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...

How Long Can You Scan

by lucyb8 , Feb 18 '02
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...

For the PHOTOGRAPHER - Negatives, Slides, and General Photos!

by slay2k , Jun 05 '02
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.

It's...

Good, but some limitations

by ge0rge , Apr 30 '04
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...

Doesn't work properly with Windows XP

by opinionated99 , Nov 02 '04
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 ...

good all around scanner

by vinci1283 , Jun 15 '02
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...

Poor OCR capability

by mlouis43 , Nov 17 '02
Pros: good scan quality
Cons: OCR software stinks - major problem
While the Epson 1650 produces high-quality scans, it must be said that its OCR software (OCR Presto) stinks...

Just a few examples:
- for multiple pages of OCR work, it is mandatory to go through the whole OCR process on each...

Can't get passed the clicking sound.

by paaopinion , Sep 10 '02
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...

You won't find a better scanner!

by hsweet , Feb 25 '02
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...

A bargain scanner with very little flaw

by incyphe , Jan 21 '02
Pros: Scanning speed, easy setup, compatibility, sharpness, optional transparency attachment
Cons: Unsaturated color, weak software
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...

Epson sells broken scanners?

by cgrabowy , Jul 24 '02
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...

Just got it - Just love it!

by jericho , Dec 21 '01
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...

reviewing negative scanning only

by mew-mew , Apr 05 '02
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...

Fantastic Scan Quality

by slevine215 , Mar 18 '02
Pros: Scan Quality, Built-in Transparency adapter, Easy set-up
Cons: No on/off switch, Scanning with transparencies a little tricky at first
I've been using this now for awhile and am still just as happy with it. I Highly recommend Epson! See my full review below.
