Epson’s Perfection V500 Photo has a lot going for it and is easily one of the best scanners in its price range. It allows a virtually instant start-up (useful for busy offices), has low power consumption, is a snap to use, and produces excellent scan results from both prints and film. The bundled software is useful, though you’ll probably use your own imaging software, and the transparency unit is excellent for amateur photographers looking to digitise their old photographs. Professional photographers will demand more, but for the general populous the Perfection V500 Photo is a winner. It’s also nice to know that you can use the scanner for office tasks, should you go for the optional ADF.”
