Epson Perfection V350 Photo Scanner (B11B185011) [Posted on 2008-02-27]
I have been using this scanner to digitize archived family photgraphs ranging from recent to many decades old. Installation was easy on Windows Vista and the learning curve was fairly short. It has a few minor quirks in the way it previews and frames the photos, but I have discovered ways around these.

I like the control it gives you in the professional mode for adjusting colorimetry and exposure. Scanning time is a little slow, but manageable. I recommend it as a high quality home scanner. Professionals might want to look further.

Better than expected [Posted on 2008-03-08]
So far I have scanned both photos and 35mm slides. Both exceded expectations. Enlargements from slides had excellent resolution suitable for printing.

Perfect for the price [Posted on 2008-04-08]
I've scanned documents and photos (not negatives) and it works great on both. For documents, I like that it can scan the docs directly into Adobe pdf format. For photos, I especially like the color restoration it did on the old color photos (circa 1970's) that I scanned in, making my old photos look better than they did before. I have not tried scanning photo negatives yet.

Very Good Product [Posted on 2008-04-09]
We purchased the Epson Perfection V350 on 03/09/2008. With the free shipping it arrived in only a few days. The installation was effortless on Windows XP-SP2. Operation is so easy "that my computer illiterate wife could use it" her quote! No complaints so far. We have not used the 35mm neg. scan option yet. Our last scanner was an Epson and we had no problems with for 4 years until it finally burned out. We hope the Perfection V350 last as long.

Not too bad, but.... [Posted on 2008-05-04]
The scanner works GREAT, and automatically creates a .jpg image the exact size of your photo -- not like other scanners that makes an 8.5 x 11 image with white in the background. HOWEVER, if you have A LOT of photos, you will have to scan them one at a time. The negative loader works well, too.

The problem with this product is the software. It's not easy to get your settings (and I'm an advanced user!), and it's a bit slow. I would've given more stars for the quality of the scan, but the software is really, really, bad.

Also, if you have a lot of photos, you can send them off to be scanned for the same price as this scanner.
