With the Perfection V600 Photo, in December 2009, Epson introduced a flat bed scanner with a transparency unit into the market replacing the previous model Epson Perfection V500 Photo . The scanner is of a successful and modern design that also looks good in a stylish office or at home.

This model has terrific image quality with optical resolution of 6400dpi and 48-bit color depth. In that way it matches the best scans you can get from the Epson Perfection V800 but there are some differences which should be noted.

Want a scanner to scan photos to high standard and perfection, the Epson Perfection is the way to go

Scans photos to perfection; Easy to use; Fast enough.

Dust and finger print magnet; noisy

The Good Nice build quality. Easy to set up. Automated front buttons. OCR and photo editing software included. Can use any scanning software. The Bad EPSON Scan does not yield the best scans. Must spend money on better scan software for best results.

You won''t do wrong with this scanner.

Scans slides and photos with precision Cost is very good

On a couple of slides; didn''t recognize the orientation properly

The Epson Perfection V600 Photo slots in just above the V500 model but has a lower bit depth than the V700, which we reviewed in March 2006 and which remains as the premium model in Epson's range.

Use to make electronic copies and restore old family photos as well as other hard copy items, such as warranties to keep records organized electronically and available for printing. Like the Adobe Shop software that came with it.

Accurate Color; Easy document restoration; Easy Setup; Easy to use; Excellent Software; Good Resolution

Cumbersome file naming

This scanner is so easy to use, fast, and the scans are well done -- true to color and clear. I like the mode choices, especially the full auto mode. It works really well when I don't have to make any adjustments. When I use the other modes, I get what I want.

I am very impressed with this scanner. Scans are clean and crisp. Sounds like a higher quality motor and mechanical parts. The software features are very extensive and you can use them right during scanning. Also comes with Photoshop Elements 7. I really could not be more pleased!

This is a good flatbed scanner for the average person. It is a very inexpensive flat bed scanner and it produces good results. I just wanted something to scan family photos, negatives, and slide film for archive purposes. This fit my needs and budget perfectly.

High quality, Easy to use; Can scan slides and pictures

Not the perfect solution for scanning slide film
