I was unimpressed by the film scanner, but perhaps I'm used to better systems. The film is not pressed against the platen and therefore, as is usual with film, the slight curl is not adequately eliminated. The same applies to slides, but I suppose that in the slide frame, it might be asking too much. The instructions (pictorial) for establishing the way up, are not clear, but you bwould soon become used to this with use.
I was similarly unimpressed with the software. Since it would seem best o apply corrections to the original file, rather than later with a graphics programme. The software was short in usability. As to the results, the depiction of scans of colour film were particularly disappointing. There was an overall tendency to the blue end of the spectrum, and there always seemed to be a soft focus effect, possibly due to the gap between film and platen.
Altogether. I was not impressed, and I can see myself returning to my old film scanner, and grinding my teeth at the idiosyncratic scanning options.

Come on Epson lets have a software update to correct this.
Otherwise it worked well using it with Epson software.
I did have problems using the twain driver from Irfanview when sometimes it failed and screwed everything up requiring a reboot. I have no idea whether that is a Irfanview issue or Epson, but I as it is quicker not to use twain I am not bothered.
Speed for scanning 4 slides is about 4 mins using a Win 7 desktop (not high end). It does seem to do a lot of 'thinking' rather than scanning! Overall I am happy but just want that software update to correct the file numbering please Epson!!!



So far, I have scanned in over 500 transparencies dating from 1972. There are plenty more to do! I haven't scanned any photos yet. I am a bit worried that the V370 not cope with some old over-sized slides, I haven't fully explored it's capabilities, so there may be a way.
The scanner scans 4 slides at a go. You need to be patient and nimble-fingered to press the slides into the flat plastic 'cradle' which holds the slides in the correct position. and make sure they are oriented in landscape, front down and upside down. This is hard enough, but when you remove the 'cradle', It is easy for plastic framed slides to drop out, so you risk finger contact with the glass scanner platform.
My results have been good. Dust and fibres are the most common problem, and I use a Jessop's rocket blower to blow the slides as clean as I can. This can get pretty tiring for your puffing arm, but at least it does no more damage to the slides.
A small number of the slides which were frequently viewed 30 or so years ago, have scratches and/or slight fungal damage from contact with someone's fingers, and I will attempt to use Photostudio or similar to clean those up.
The software is supposed to identify and neutralize specks, but either it isn't very effective, I need better glasses, I have exceptionally big specks, or my puffing is just of a very high standard.
It really pays to devise a system to deal with massed slides. I set up my slide projector, scanner and PC within reach and arranged flat surfaces to make 4-stacks of clean slides, and re-box the scanned slides. I had a bag at hand for the many rejected slides.
Although more expensive scanners may offer greater automation and more powerful software, this scanner is very fairly priced, not too complicated and enables you to re-capture a large chunk of your past. Were we really that good-looking?

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - First impressions are very good. It has the feel of a well built, quality product - it's certainly a solid piece of kit. The USB port could be better positioned for how my desk is arranged (I would prefer it at the back), but this is a minor inconvenience. The negatives I've scanned so far have been mainly on the 'auto' setting, which makes it very quick & easy. I just put them in the special holder, close it, put the holder on the glass so it slots into place, shut the lid and click the button. The negative frames are then detected, scanned and saved. And that's it. Simple. The hardest part is working out which way to put them, but a little diagram on the holder is a constant reminder.
QUALITY - In my experience, the quality of scanned negatives isn't as good as scanned photos, which I did expect - the colours aren't as rich. However, that might partly be the fault of my old negatives, which are slightly warped. However, I'm happy with the results, and remember this is all on the 'auto' mode. There are plenty of options to play with to get the best out of the scanner, so I'm sure I could improve the quality. For the time being though, I'm happy to compromise slightly on quality to get everything scanned quickly, to get a backup of all my pre-digital photos. Once I've finished I may go back and get some higher quality versions of my favourites, direct from the photo instead of the negative.
PHOTOS - I've only scanned a few photos so far, mainly on the 'professional' mode to allow me a higher dpi. Here the quality is fantastic, allowing me to zoom in for a good level of detail. I prefer to do a basic scan and tweak afterwards in a paint program, but there are plenty of options to play with in the supplied software if you prefer. Indeed, it can be quite daunting in 'professional' mode (although there is a full user guide), but a 'home' mode is a useful compromise if 'auto' is too basic.
CONCLUSION - I'm very happy with this scanner. Getting started with the supplied software is a doddle, and scanning negatives on 'auto' is quick and easy. There are many options to fine tune the results if you wish, allowing you to get excellent results. I also like how you can store the negative holder in the lid - a small detail, but makes you feel this is a quality product.



I hooked it up to my iMac (running Yosemite),downloaded the driver from Epson, and it works like a dream both scanning photo's of varies sizes and slides.
Then I take the images into Lightroom 5 to tidy up,resize and get ready for print etc.
I've had no issues getting this scanner to work and I thoroughly recommend it..

I wasted many hours trying to get the software successfully installed, and had repeated lengthy chat sessions with Epson's technical support team, eventually in frustration calling their telephone helpline. The Scan and PDF buttons now work, but the Event Manager software still does not work properly, and I am unable to scan directly to email.


The best feature is the colour restore. We are scanning slides from the 1960s and 1950s, many of which are faded or scratched. The colours when restored have a kind of Instagram feel about them but are surprisingly bright and true. Really pleased to see a world I thought I probably wouldn't see again in so much detail.
Several slides can be scanned together but the process is slow.
The Epson instructions were easy to understand and the scanner was easy to set up up. If this scanner suits your budget and you don't have 100s of slides to scan or are prepared to take your time, then this scanner is a good choice.



Quality of scan appears excellent at 4,800dpi optical resolution. Speed seems fine to me.
The scanner is rather light and feels a bit fragile, especially the slide carrier and the removable white mat. The USB and power cables attach at the front right of the scanner which is irksome. Likewise the way the scanner opens like a book, rather than hinged at the back. However it looks smart and less intrusive than the 1240U.
N.B. In transparency mode it CANNOT scan medium format or larger transparencies. It is limited to 35mm in strips or 2" holders. These are significant disadvantages compared to the 1240U.
In conclusion, it is a nice Windows 8.1 scanner for docs and 35mm slides. If you are a photographer who wishes to scan larger formats then you will have to go higher up the Epson range.


Very highly recommended...



i did find that it cuts a little off from around the edges, possibly due to the slides being slides with card around rather than simply negatives. All in all though, it does a decent job if you have slides without the main subject too near the edge.
I haven't tried negatives yet (I don't have many retained). Photos it does well enough and these obviously depend upon the quality of the originals (as with everything). It does come with the facility to touch-up pics, but I haven't given this much attention yet.
The second reason I bought this is to scan text and turn it into Microsoft Word format, and the fine-reader program that comes as part of the CD-Rom seems very good. So far I've only tried this on a couple of trial pages, but it took them quite accurately, not quite word for word as some of the original was not totally crisp in its presentation, but all in all I am very happy with this OCR program. Incidentally, I believe the same or similar program that comes inclusive with this scanner, was individually priced at more than the entire scanner which seems to make no sense. If I'm right and not imagining things this equates to a free scanner if you wanted the OCR program regardless.
I deducted the one star simply because of the trim off my slide pics and for being a little slow.

A very easy to use piece of kit. Am happy to recommend it.


I am absolutely delighted with the results so far (about 50 scans) most of which I can only describe as perfect.
If you want decent scans don't waste your money on one of the digital camers types - go for the real thing.

It works well with my 2013 Apple MacBook Pro although the bundled software CD was rubbish and the software did not work at all. I downloaded the later software from Epson and job done.
I researched this item somewhat before purchase and for me it is a great tradeoff between cost and quality. There seems to be some good reviews out there of it and I'm adding to them :-)
