Recommends this product? Yes Age: 35 - 44 Gender: Male Has owned product for: 2 - 7 weeks Uses product: Every few days Share this Review: from Walmart.com The only other experience I had had with a scanner was my parent's. Their scanner was a Canon and the software as well as the actual scanner were very slow. My Epson on the other hand was excellent right off the bat. It was easy to set up and it worked about 5 times faster than my parent's Canon. from Amazon.com I bought my Epson Perfection 4490 Photo scanner by a recommendation from my brother. I recently bought my first computer and have a backlog of 50 years of photos I wanted to get on disc and archive. from Amazon.com I use this scanner under OS X and with G5 and have ZERO problems with it. To be said this scanner is a real workhouse! In my case, it is used in business and it is one very busy scanner with more than 4000 (four thousand) 35-mm transparencies scanned, medium format scanned, artworks, you name it. The dynamic range, density, coloration and overall image clarity is just above any concerns. from Amazon.com had to replace my epson 2400 which i have owned afew years.. at first i was not to happy it quit working but now i cann't be happier that it did... from Amazon.com I bought an Epson rather than HP this time and not at all sorry. I use the scanner for both business and pleasure, sometimes scanning in documents that I run through an OCR program. from Amazon.com With nearly 2,000 family slides to digitize and many a web search on reviews of this and other scanners, I chose the Epson Perfection 4490. Easy set up instructions had me up and running on an iMac with OS 10.4.10 in about 10 minutes, including opening the box. from Amazon.com Pros: To my amazement, this scanner exceeded my expectations. It automatically identified type of photos, slides and films, scanned numerous pictures and saved each pictures to individual files. It even cropped various sizes of photo on scanner and saved files without my intervention. from Newegg.com Pros: Allows for batch scanning of multiple slides and negatives. Produces good quality results which are comparable to dedicated film scanners. Quiet operation. from Newegg.com Pros: The quality of the scans are excellent, however, I had vertical lines through my documents when I used the ADF and Epson has a no return, refund or replacement policy. Cons: I feel bad for anyone who buys this privately. from Newegg.com
