5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars (w/ an asterisk), November 23, 2010

I bought this two weeks ago, great price, free and fast delivery from Beach Camera through Amazon. I got this to replace my old Epson 636U, which I loved but which was not compatible with my new Windows 7 computer.

Well, this one could not have been easier to setup. In less than 10 minutes I was scanning. And the only reason it took that long was because I had to decide which photograph was going to be the first one I scanned. I tried the auto mode and the Professional (Photographer) mode and they both came out great: fast, great colors, and sharp. I can see that using the auto mode will probably be more than sufficient for most scans and most people. But, if you like to tweak with histograms and gamma and all that other PhotoShop-type stuff, you have plenty of flexibility. I haven't had a chance yet to try out the rest of the software and features but they look promising.

Now, for the asterisk: it's not enough of a complaint to ding it one star down from five, but it is slightly annoying. I don't care for the placement of the power cable and USB connectors on the unit; I think they'd be better in the "back" of the unit, but maybe they are right next to the power/control buttons to save money and space. And maybe it's just a problem for me because I have the unit on the right side of my desk and the computer tower is on the floor on the left side. (I can't reconfigure it any better). So, since the unit is so compact, I turned it "sideways" and it worked out just fine. The cover flips open perfectly, the power/USB cable are out of my way, and the little extra reach to the buttons is no big deal. So: still five stars.

Highly recommended, not only for the price, but for the features, and results. Now, on to the thousands of photos I want to scan in. Maybe I'll update this review after a few hundred....

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lot of Scanner for the Money!!!, March 1, 2011

I have been using scanners dating back to the days of SCSI ports. In fact, my first scanner was a motorized hand scanner that also included the ability to travel on a board with a track. I've used all sorts of brands of flatbeds ever since, so I'm in a good position to give a non-professional assessment of the scanner. However, as a reader of many, many reviews myself, I'll keep it brief.

To begin with, the installation was not that complicated (Windows 7) and the scanner fired up perfectly and did several scan jobs for me without a hitch.

WHY DID I BUY IT? We already had scanning capability in our All-In-One Canon MP series printer/scanner/copier. Truthfully, scanning pictures is not all that great with the Canon, which is more focused on document scanning. Last week my wife mentioned that we should digitally scan the several decades of pictures we have. In addition to that project, it came up that she would like to scan pictures at her sisters. Of course, I would would like to scan my 87 year old Dad's pictures as well. Both of them live in excess of 100 miles away, pretty much negating the use of the rather large and very slow Canon. Thus began my search for a decent quality flatbed scanner that I could travel with and use with my notebook computer.

I spent considerable time researching on the internet and came very close to buying an Epson V-600 (about as close as you can get to the venerable V-700, without the excessive cost). However, the more I check it out the more I realized that I would not be requiring any of the more advanced, high resolution scanning it offered. That is what led me to the Epson Perfection V-33. The price was really good and I was positive that it would fill the bill for scanning and restoring old photos and news clippings.

If you're looking for a smaller profile, flatbed scanner that can scan and restore your home photos, this is the machine. Epson's included software is not overly sophisticated, but very good at handling the job. Would I recommend the V-33? Most certainly!!!

This scanner is simply outstanding. The resolution is perfection. The best feature of the Epson V33 photo scanner is the ability to scan documents into a "pdf" file. I recently scanned a 23 page document, saved it as a pdf, and e-mailed it as an attachment; and you don't have to buy Adobe Acrobat to do it. Not having to wait for a "warm-up" is a real bonus too. This scanner is a Winner! The only negative feature is the fact that Epson located the power and interface connectors at the front-right side of the scanner (by the buttons) instead of the rear of the unit.
