In interests of full disclosure, I was only interested in using the scanner to scan family slides, and I returned the scanner after one week. On the positive side, installation was a breeze in Windows XP. Epson includes a high-speed USB 2.0 cable, which was a nice extra, as most companies skimp here. I was also intrigued by the "touch up old faded photos" software. I have had great experiences with Epson scanners before: in the past I have found Epson scanners to be among the fastest and most accurate, and they have, in the past, included the best OCR software free. I was disappointed that this scanner included ABBYY's OCR software, which is inferior to the OCR software Epson included with last year's scanners. (See CNET's reviews of OCR software.)After hooking up, I scanned a photo using the included software and automatic settings. The scan went well. I was a little surprised that the automatic settings default to 300 dpi scanning (whether for photos or slides), but higher settings produce images so large in (initially uncompressed) megabytes as to slow down my relatively new Dell computer with 128 meg RAM. Scanning the photo went quickly.Things did not go as well with the slide scanning. While the software is quite easy to manage, whether in automatic or manual settings, a few annoyances interfere with what could otherwise be quite a successful suite. First off, the scanning software uses overlapping windows for such (simultaneous) windows as the preview window, the scanned pictures window, and the manual settings window, but none of these have separate tabs or "buttons" in the Windows XP taskbar, so it is difficult to move each out of the way to find the other ones. I'm unsure how they even accomplished this, as I've never used a program in XP that didn't produce a button on the taskbar corresponding to an open window. At first this was an annoyance, but after three days, it was crazy infuriating, as it makes it difficult not only to deal with the scanner windows themselves which keep hiding each other, but it also makes very cumbersome to multitask with any other programs. When the scanner is scanning, its software window sometimes will not hide, and then when you do hide it, you can't bring it to the fore again without minimizing the other programs' windows, or it will bring to the fore the wrong window. How Epson can commission an expertly performing software application, but have it without corresponding window-tabs, is typical of today's rush-to-the-market user-unfriendly software. I suppose it doesn't matter when scanning the occasional piece, but it certainly ain't fun when you're scanning the family photo album.But the final straw was that after hours of scanning various slides at different resolutions, I could not produce a scan that was not SLIGHTLY blurry. Since some of my slides were taken by professional photographers and look crystal clear on the wall, I scuttled my project and returned the scanner. Why spend a week converting the family slides for permanent sharing and archiving, and getting a blurry scan? I have read that this is a common problem with inexpensive scanners: I suspect that if you take the slide out of its white cardboard frame, so it can lay perfectly flat, they might be in focus, but I don't want to ruin my slides. Seems to me that if they can put an autofocus mechanism in extremely cheap cameras, they could have figured out a way to autofocus the slides in this slide-scanning scanner.

It amazes me how this scanner has not been dumped into the bottom of the ocean as yet. The color is awful, awful, awful; the scanned images have long ugly streaks; it's painfully slow; it's technologically jurassic - in one short sentence - it's pathetic! So, fellow on-line buyers, you have been forewarned.

I have been using this scanner for over 1 year and have used it to scan hundreds of typewritten pages, old slides, and photographs. For the money, this is one fine tool. We have a newer, much more expensive scanner at our office, but I have often taken work home to scan because the Epson 1670 does a better job.My only complaint is the lack of any cohesive instructions on how to use it. Once I did figure out from trial and error how to use the machine, I grew to love it for its speed.

Working on a compact budget, I was looking for something I could use to scan photos, negatives, and slides that would approach quality amateur level. For photo scans, I was impressed by the speed, the quality was average or slightly better than average. For slide scans, I found that if you have an image with a lot of black or very dark space, the scanner/software gets confused and it took several tries to get it right; sometimes, it wouldn't happen at all. Otherwise, slide scanning was fine. Nothing to write home about, but adequate. I've had much better luck with film negative scans. Colors come out rich and detail is fine. The higher resolutions take forever, but the results are worth it. I tried playing with the three different software settings: full-on automatic, pro, and home use. I haven't bothered with the automatic mode, it was too restrictive. The professional setting is more trouble than it's worth, for the most part. Great if you want to play around with colors and such for the fun of it, but trying to use it for color correction was more of a hassle. The 'home' setting works best for me 95% of the time. There are better scanners out there, but for the price, this is a fine little machine.

I do PR and marketing for a small hospital and have ended up scanning a lot more than I would have thought. I've used the 1670 for a couple of months now. It was easy to set up and quick to use; it scans quickly; the color is great. The OCR software that came with it works GREAT. The scanning software seems easy to use, altho I admit I use Photoshop for making any changes to photos or graphics, so I can't comment on whether the photo manipulation software works well.one of 2 quibbles: the scans all come out 1 or 2 degrees tilted, even if I've lined up the original against the side of the glass; is this normal for scanners? (...) .2nd quibble: I sent in my rebate coupon the day I received the scanner, but I haven't received my rebate yet.

I got an Epson 3170 first which kept on crashing on my eMac. There was an issue with drivers that Epson didn't cover on their DownLoads web site. I took it back and got the 1670 at the Apple Store. It's not as good as the 3170 but it doesn't crash and since the return of the 3170, Epson now has updated drivers for Mac's.I have hundreds of slides I'd like to burn to cd and the 1670 will do 2 at a time, in comparison to the 3170, which is 4. This may take me into the next life to get done, so I'm going to try showing the slides in the screen and taking digital pictures that way.This scanner is relatively fast and easy to use. The buttons on the front, I never use them. Open the scanned images from Photoshop, or the editing software that comes with it (PhotoImpression), and work from there.It's kind of noisy, the sound it makes reminds me of an old juke-box making a selection.I'm a little dissapointed that I took the 3170 back but I'm sure this scanner is more than I'll need and what it does is more than adequate. You can't go wrong. The rebate helped, too.

After reading countless reviews of Epson's and others, I bought the 1670 scanner, but made sure to download the latest driver (for Windows XP)before I even began the installation. Thus everything went very smoothly, and I was scanning almost immediately. It's true that the on-line instructions are not the best, but a little study time will make most things clear.Some fifty year old color slides were readily scanned and produced fine enlargements for e-mailing or printing. With the current rebate, this is a very good value, and I'm quite satisfied. May I never need tech support!

During the first week of use, the pad under the document cover came unglued and starting falling every time you opened the cover. Bundled software is adequate, but not a home run. Other than a setup poster, no hard copy documentation. Probably usable, but not for the scanning neophyte, and the suspect quality control evidenced by the self-disassembling document cover speaks for itself....

Let me start with a disclaimer- all I want out of a scanner is fast scanning of B&W/gray scale material in an office environment. I have bought/tested several suposedly fast scanners and I have been disappointed (the Canon I bought thinks about scanning for 45 seconds, then it scans!)Well the Epson delivers- scanning at 200 dpi I can do partial pages in 5-6 seconds and full pages in 12 seconds (that's from the time you press scan to the end) You can bypass the preview mode and send the scans directly to a program or file. The software has good (you can save all the scan settings for different scans) and bad points (it seems basackwards sometimes-ex. some features only activate after you do a preview scan)Can't comment on other features i don't use but for $$$ this is a speed demon!

open the box, install software, plug it in and scan. works perfectly for me for scanning in all of my old photos (I'm going all digital). the auto scan and save mode works well, and made it almost effortless to archive years worth of photos. I also like the high spedd USB 2.0 interface to speed transfers to my laptop.I did not try the film scanner attachment, but it works great on normal photos. highly recommend!

I haven't printed anything out with the images I've scanned (yet) so I can't comment on that. All I know is that I needed a decent slide scanner, for an inexpensive price. This one satisfies that need.I find that all scans are on the "warm" side - there's a slight yellowish cast to the pictures. This is easy to get out quickly, using the bundled Photoshop Elements (or in my case, I used Photoshop 6). By the way, do you realize that Photoshop Elements is just thrown in with this scanner? And that it is a well-reviewed graphics software program that retails on its own for a respectable price? And that there is also a coupon (limited time offer - until 6/02) that allows you to buy the FULL version of Photoshop at a fantastic discount? (Half off, or thereabouts.) WHAT a deal! Something to think about if you want to get into Photoshop!Anyway, I found my slide scans to be of decent quality. Bear in mind, I am not exceedingly picky, because I have gone through several "consumer level" scanners with a slide attachment, and they all were pretty bad. So the fact that this one wasn't awful like all the others delighted me. But to be brutally honest, the slide scans are not all that sharp at higher resolutions (I scanned at 720 PPI). And sometimes the color needs extra tweaking. But I have been able to fix up and size down (and sharpen) my slide scans just fine. They look great for web images (even large wallpaper-sized web pictures), and I am guessing, are fine for printing on an ink-jet printer. (However, I found that my some of my darker and more underexposed slide scans didn't look that great, and required more Photoshop adjustments. But I need to expect limits to this scanner's abilities, I guess.) All-in-all, slide scans are perfectly adequate, and I am sure, quite good considering that this is NOT a "professional" level slide scanner. My own guess is that you will be hard-pressed to find another scanner (at this price range) that will make better slide scans.Scanning negatives is pretty good (though, once again, a bit soft at higher resolutions). Some of my negative scans have been a bit "washed out", and needed some extra Photoshop adjusting. Scanning prints is excellent. Almost all image scans needed the quick Photoshop tweak to take out a bit of yellow, though. But that doesn't take much time, and I got used to it quickly. (EVERY image needs to be tweaked, after all, no matter how good the scanner is!)I am using an iMac running OS 9.2.1, and the scanner's software is very stable. I don't use any of the bundled software, just Epson's TWAIN, in Photoshop. Works wonderfully. There is supposed to be an OS X update CD coming out in January 2002 (a coupon is with the scanner's paperwork, so you can order the CD). If you are scanning more than one file at a time into Photoshop (scanning 4 negs at one time, or whatever) you need to give Photoshop plenty of RAM. (Always good advice anyway!)

i was looking for a scanner to fix old pictures with, scratches, tears ect... and this says it restores fotos quickly, i wasn't too impressed with the software, the higher the resolution you scan at, the longer it takes (which i knew) and the software freezes. i really wanted to just punch something using this. there is a warm up period with this scanner. for a 130 bucks, i really expecetd a little better. maybe it's me. i would pass this one by if i were you. and the instructions could be a whole lot better. i bought it on friday, and it's going back sunday. maybe my next one will last longer.

I haven't had this scanner for very long, but I have already made more than 500 scans with it, and it's is awesome. The preview scan is ridiculously quick: I can get a good idea of what my scan will look like in less than a couple of seconds. The software bundle is very nice for a beginner, wherein you can make automatic scans for email, web, file outputs with the push of the respective button on the scanner body. I tried the software out a few times and I was impressed with the results, but if you're using Photoshop you don't need to install the whole package. It only took a few minutes to set the thing up and do my first scan, which was pretty cool.Once you gain more confidence with the different elements in a scan (namely the relationship image size and resolution have with file size) you can use TWAIN for a more manual approach. This allows you to adjust your settings based on what your requirements for your final project are. For example, I could scan a postage stamp-sized picture at a high resolution and enlarge it into an 8" x 10" photo or larger and the quality would still look pretty good. Your final scan speed will depend on the resolution you've selected , but it's still fast at higher resolutions. The lower the resolution, the faster the scan time.I love using TWAIN, especially since it only took a few trial runs to figure it out. It's calculations for file size, resolution, and image size are all right there, so there's no guess work needed from you. Epson also provides pretty good documentation for doing things manually for your first time (like a reference table for your final output on projects for web, negatives, photos, text, etc.). The color has been consistently sharp and the resolution very crisp, on both the flatbed and the transparency unit.Notice, however, that this is not a portable scanner. It's bigger than some on the market and it is powered by an external power supply. But it is perhaps the best model on the market for projects that require excellent quality whether your project is personal or semi-profesional.

I don't know about XP but it works great with Win98. Installation was a snap. I bought it for archiving my old photo negatives and slides. I debated getting their next higher model for increased resolution based on a techie review, but I'm glad I didn't. The resolution is very adequate for the average home user, and then some - if you use the max resolution you should have a relatively new computer to handle it. Anything more would be overkill unless you have a commercial graphics shop and a high-end computer. I tested mine on negatives - color was OK but processing time was long - probably my 366 computer. I tested a color slide and was very impressed - color wasn't perfect but easily fixed in my graphics program - resolution was excellent. I tried a full-page scan and noticed no edge shadows as someone else had reported. The scanner is also much quieter than my previous Canon scanner. The software interface is nice. It has a full-auto mode which is very effective and useful for most applications, but it is also flexible enough to do most anything you would want to manually. I can't talk about service -no problems yet. Bottom line is this is a great scanner for the price!

I've been using this scanner for 9 months now and am extremely pleased with it. My only gripe might be that their is no on/off switch. Have to plug and unplug it all the time. I use the copy function on it all the time in my home office and it works great. I also use it as my fax machine and that works well also. Have had great luck with scanning photo's and good results. The only problems I've encountered was doing old slides. Had to go in and manually take control to get them to scan to my liking. Other than that I leave everything on auto and all has been good. Mine is hooked to a HP N5495 laptop with Win XP and has encountered no problems. Great scanner!!!!

After researching flatbed scanners for several weeks, I determined that, based on specifications and reviews, the Epson Perfection 1650 Photo Flatbed Scanner was the best on the market. After purchasing the product on the web, I eagerly set it up, expecting an amazing product that I would love. I scanned several pictures, finding the quality amazing, but there were many problems. It cut of parts of each picture, sometimes the scanned picture would look cockeyed even if it had been placed on the surface perfectly, and scratches and dust were seen everywhere. I tried to call technical support, but I did not get anywhere, and I was annoyed at the fact that Epson doesn't have a 1-800 number to call. Epson Smartpanel is decent, and Adobe Elements is a wonderful program, but the others included are poorly designed, and, in my opionion, are not satisfactory enough to use. The bottom line about this scanner is that despite the fact that the images it scans are of optimal quality, the problems with it that I've had have not made the scanner worth it. I would suggest looking at products in the Canon Canoscan series, which are very small and are loved by most that use them. Although most people have not had the same problems with me, you should still think twice about getting this scanner: if you end up NOT getting it, you will save yourself from having several headaches.

If you want a scanner to copy photographs with high quality, this is the one. If you want to use the copy utility to make a copy to print, it takes 1 minute 30 seconds. It automatically defaults to color which is slow. Defaults are impossible to change. Copy to Email only works with Office XP or Outlook Express but will not work with Outlook 2000. The inability to change defaults makes the software cumbersome. Try to find the Email support site, it is there but hidden and then the responses are canned because the support person didn't read the real problem. Just read comments about the HP scanners and they apparently have the same problems. They are making scanners for idiots, not thinking customers.

I just recently purchased the Epson 1650 Photo scanner and I'm very pleased with the performance. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews on this product but decided to take a chance. I did a number of scans of photographs, magazine pictures, negatives and all of the scans came out looking just fine. I think that some of the folks who had trouble with this product purchased it before the drivers were fixed or available. It is clear that Epson released the product a before it was ready for consumers. I think that most of the issues have been worked out as I haven't experienced any problems under Windows XP.

The ability of this scanner to produce a full scan of its bed is very poor. I have been used to an old Astra 1220U, which was able to provide a scan with very little shadow at the edges of the scanned area. My attempts with similar original images on the 1650 were extremely disappointing. I was left with about 4 picas of shadow all around the final image. The Techies told me that it couldn't be adjusted. Also, when scanning my illustrations in "illustration" mode, the results were dismal. The techies told me to set it in "Color Photo". Go figure...I didn't try the neg scanner, so I can't comment on that. I returned the unit the day after it was delivered.

I purchased this product from amazon.com. I expected that Epson could provide a good product when it comes to scanner. The scanner arrived, and I was excited about it. After installing the software and seeting up the scanner, I scanned my first picture. The scanned result looks like it had specks of dust and scratches in the image. I scanned the same picture in a diferent position in the scanner, and I got diferrent results. It still had spots and scratches in different places. Called Epson and their answer was that the picture was deffective. They sent me to an Epson Service center, and the scanner spent a week in repairs. At the end nothing was acomplished. I had to return the scanner to amazon.com. I am looking for a new scanner. I hope Epson improves it's customer service department; it is worth nothing when it comes to trying to help a customer. The Epson service rep was always blaming the end user. He never considered the possibility that the scanner could be deffective. I will be browsing thru amazon.com trying to find a good scanner again.

I bought this scanner after reading a review. However, at the time of purchase it was not XP compatible. After waiting months for a patch to be developed one finally arrived which did not work. After many frustating hours and dozens of phone calls to Epson and the software developer they referred me to only the copy function works.Despite Epson's claims that "it works with XP" I have no evidence that it does. I also found Epson to be very unhelpful in the process. Needless to say, Epson if off my list of companys to buy from.

This is not a bad scanner at all. The quality of the scans is good (although I have seen better). I had no problem setting the scanner up to my laptop running win2000. Like the other reviewers, some of the photo scans are crocked even when the images were lined up correctly. Also, the color of the scans tends to be on the magenta side. I easily corrected it with Photoshop. The ArcSoft software that came with the scanner is poor. Running the scanner via Photoshop Elements is ideal. No problems so far. I spent five hours the day that I got the scanner and scanned at least two dozen pictures and half a dozen slides.

This is one scanner that will work with xp, me, 98..Works great, I had no problem installing it. Just make sure you install the driver BEFORE you plug the scanner into your computer. The included software isn't the greatest, that's why I only gave it a 4.. But I already have Microsoft picture it installed and that works a little better than some of the Epson's included software. I have a HP printer and it works fine with that. (I am using winXP drivers for the printer though.)It is very nice scanner. But is noisy compared to the HP I had, but hey this works with XP and the HP wouldn't, so I'm happy.

Installing this device is a giant challenge. I purchased this scanner for my wife for Christmas. After she opened it we immediately hooked it up to our Dell computer which is running Window's ME. We followed the direction for installation and the driver kept hanging the computer. After 5 attempts I installed the scanner via my own method, which eventually worked. After the installation the scanner appears to work as advertised.
