The scanner comes with attachments that allow you to scan negatives, along with slides. Of course, you can also lay already printed photos onto the bed of the scanner and scan them into your computer. I mainly use the scanner to import images taken on my Holga plastic camera. I also use it to digitize my 35mm negatives and has given new life to my older film cameras. In shopping for a scanner, the Epson V500 was my choice because of price and quality. Shop around at photography stores and ask questions.The Epson V500 Photo was replaced by its successor V550 Photo in November 2013. The Epson ReadyScan LED technology is characterised by the usage of white LEDs.

According to Epson this positively affects the energy consumption and starting time, probably however not the scan quality.

Whoever has the device in the office can thus produce a quick scan by pushing a button, and according to Epson buttons at the front offer even comfort functions like automatic creation of a PDF, automatic scanning with direct sending by mail, as well as a copy button with direct printout at the printer.
