Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Scanners
This is a good product and the reason I purchased it was so that I could scan negatives larger than 35mm. My previous Epson scanner could not scan any size other than 35 mm. The scanner uses LED illumination rather than Fluorescent like my old Epson and start up is pretty much instantaneous. When scanning negatives, an internal cover has to be removed from the inside of the top lid which exposes the light source in the lid, rather than the source under the bed. ( The cover needs to be refitted for normal positive scans). The V550 is noticeably faster also in operation and can scan multiple negatives in one sweep. The negative carrier has to be located in the right place on the scanner bed. I found that mounting the negatives in the carrier was a bit fiddly so I just put the negative down on the lower part of the carrier and didn't worry about closing the top half over the negative and that seemed to work ok. There is a function that eliminates imperfections such as fingerprints and other debris on the negative and uses ultraviolet. This slows the scanning process down considerably however. The results from negative and positive bed scans were very good with nice sharp images.Read full review

I used this to scan old slides and to de-clutter by scanning all my paper receipts. It is excellent for both roles. Slide scans are accurate and high quality. PDF scanning is brilliant especially with the ability to create searchable text within saved scanned documents. This makes finding old receipts so much easier than rifling through hard copies. It also saves space and solves the problem of lost receipts or the inevitable fading of light-sensitive paper receipts. Highly recommended.

My Nikon scanner died after digitising all my transparencies. I wanted a cheaper alternative to do my negatives. The V550 does a great job and is easy to use, does up to twelve 35mm negs in a reasonable time with good results.

Maybe slower than some scanners but the scanned image (B&W photos) are excellent.
