I am totally pleased with this scanner. The setup and hookup was very simple and straightforward. It probably took less than ten minutes to have everything up and running.
I am using an older Macintosh (PowerPC 7300) that has a PCI to USB interface card installed running OS9. There were absolutely no problems with anything although Epson doesn't specify it will work with the older Macs, it worked fine with mine!
Scanning 35mm slides is perfect and the quality is wonderful.
Within an hour of opening the box, I was scanning away. The PHOTO option is a must for anyone who has ever dreamed of organizeing pictures/photo albums. In about half of a day, I scanned in 8 rolls of film. The negative scanning feature allows you to get very high quality images quickly. Almost every picture I have scanned looks better after scanning it into the computer than the REAL print looks. This is a super (fast and high quality) scanner, and is well worth the investment.
