beware the blue haze!.......2007-06-20

Great scanner except for a haze which forms on bottom of scanner bed glass. It does effect scan quality but many might not notice either the haze or it's effects on the scan. Some may not experience this but many do. Can see the haze while looking at the glass from @45 degree angle with the scanner light on. If you see the haze you can investigate it's effects on imaging: scan empty surface with lid up at low resolution (60-120 dpi)--then view image, zooming in if need. Epson does honor the warranty on it, but if you're one like me who didn't use it much the 1st year then ...
What bugs me is that Epson doesn't seem to acknowledge this problem (which some say comes for gases released by scanner components).

Excellant Scanner.......2007-05-19

I have have had other scanners in the past, however this scanner is excellent. It is easy to use. You can scan 35mm slides, negatives from 35mm to 4x5's. You can also scan text or almost anything and get great results.The price is good. In all the reviews that I read before buying this scanner are accurate. It is a good scanner and when one compares a more expensive scanner (side by side) with the Epson 4990 there is no difference that anyone can really notice at all.

Epsom 4990 Scanner.......2007-05-18

The Epson 4990 is a flat-bed scanner. If you are looking for a scanner that can handle very under-exposed 35-mm film, this is not the scanner for you. Choose instead a dedicated film scanner such as the Nikon CoolScan-IV or a similar film scanner for acceptable results. For normally exposed 35-mm film, the 4990 does an excellent job! For larger images, positives and negatives, it does an excellent job too.

I purchased this scanner with the intent of digitizing old family photographs, transparencies (negatives and positives), and some documents in lieu of a xerographic copier. My expectations were that the photographs and transparencies be digitized perfectly. They were. I just expected documents to be convenient to copy. This expectation was met too.

What can I say? The positive results are there. The negative results are non-existent. I am very happy with this scanner for all my scanning needs from photographic to documents except at the photographic exposure extremes where a dedicated film scanner is dictated.

wonderful scanner.......2007-05-07

I needed to convert a bunch of old photos and slides into a digital presentation format (powerpoint) and my old scanner was not going to manage the job. I ordered this scanner after looking at many reviews, both on Amazon as well as on other sites. This scanner is a bit pricey, and a bit large, but it really does a nice job with all the jobs I have asked it to do. Even old photos that are washed out, look much better after scanning using the ICE technique, and color correction. Scanning multiple slides at one time is a time saver. The packaged software is simple to use and works well. I am using the scanner with Adobe Photoshop elements 3, already on my computer, even though it comes with elements 2. It was easy to set up and I have not had any problems with it.

It also does a fine job with print, although I may need to obtain a higher grade OCR program for more extensive importation into my word document and text aloud programs.

Great Scanner.......2007-05-05

I have had this scanner for about 8 months. It is my first scanner purhcase and I am very pleased with it. I am using it with an iMac. It was very easy to hook up and use. I have had excellent results scanning both pictures and slides. Color is excellent. I can recommend this scanner very highly.
