So far I'm happy with the scanner after just setting it up.
However, after downloading all the software and the Adobe Elements that goes with the scanner, somehow the DIGITAL ICE feature is greyed out and not available to use. I have sent in a request to Epson. Everything else appears normal (scanning works, and even the dust feature), so I was originally thinking that this problem was because of one of my settings. However, I've clicked and unclicked everything in the professional scan mode, and nothing gives me access to DIGITAL ICE. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Easy to hook up, software installed smoothly and seems like a nice sturdy unit. I like how the lid automatically "holds" in the up position so you can place photos on glass with one hand. Makes in easy to swap to the next pic when doing large amounts. So far the images look great. Been doing them at 600dpi, which is a large high quality photo. It will actually go up to 12,800dpi...I don't think that would fit in my house! So far I've scanned about 75 photos and I'm really liking it and would definitely recommend it.

We did a good bit of searching various companies for price comparisons and found this to be by far the best deal. In addition this is exactly what we have been seeking. It is likely that we will purchase at least one more just like it.

After going back and forth on a number of different scanners to replace my old Scanjet 3970, I settled on this one. My requirements were:
1. Had to be fast. I've got a lot of pictures to scan in and I want to scan at decent resolution (at least 1200 DPI).
2. Had to handle negatives. I've got a lot of old negatives to scan in.
3. Had to be easy to use and "mindless". I typically scan photos and such in during the day and need to be able to drop them on the scanner and hit a single button.
This scanner has met all of those expectations.
A few minor complaints:
1. I can't find a way to specify an output directory. If there is a way it's well hidden.
2. The accessories for holding the slides and negatives seem a bit "flimsy". They haven't broken on me but I could see it happening.
3. The accessories are "loose". To use the slide scanner adapter you have to take out the regular backing for the scanner. And when you aren't using them the accessories have no storage area.
These are minor complaints, however.
Over all the speed is excellent and the picture quality outstanding. It handles negatives flawlessly and can hold up to 12 negatives on two strips at a time saving them each to different files.

I did my research, and without breaking my budget picked this model. This scanner is very easy to use. I customize every photo I scan and it works great and pretty quick. I was scanning some 1940's and early 70's pictures and they came out pretty clear. I have not tried the negatives yet but so far I am very happy with my purchase.
