The scanner can handle up to four mounted slides or two film strips up to 12 total frames, or medium format film of 2-1/4", 120/220 and 6 x 12 cm.Īnother important selling point of the V500 is the fact that it incorporates the energy-efficient ReadyScan LED technology, which eliminates warm- up times both when turning on the scanner and when switching back-and-forth between reflective and film scanning. And that's exactly the type of device we'll talk about as follows, namely Epson's V500 Photo scanner, a device that provides users with an enhanced level of efficiency, as well as a scanning resolution of up to 6400 dpi.īesides the very high resolution (remember, this is optical, not software), the device has also been fitted with a built-in transparency unit (TPU) with a moving carriage and lamp optimized for scanning multiple 35mm negatives, slides and medium-format film. It's been quite a busy week in the area of photo-dedicated electronic devices, as several of the most important manufacturers of such products (namely Canon, Epson and Nikon) got engaged in an all-out launch frenzy, releasing just about everything you might think of, from high-end DSLRs to multi-function machines and scanners.
