Maybe I'm still "starry eyed" from the positive things about this scanner, but so far, I'm very pleased with the scanner. I purchased it from a local store, where the sales rep highly recommended it over other brands. If I had read some of the reviews posted, maybe I'd have thought twice about longevity, but it was worth every penny when my son's school report was lost from my children's computer. Thankfully, we had printed a copy of his report to review, because when it was deleted from his computer, I was able to scan it into the OCR program that came with the Epson 4490 (ABBYY). It quickly and easily converted it into a Word document and he was able to make the changes to his report the night before it was due. I have scanned everything from pictures, negatives and slides- all were done quickly. The automatic image restoration with Adobe Photo Elements has worked just as well as the products description says it will. The few pictures I have restored with it are probably also worth the cost of the whole scanner. I hope it is still working as well in a few months... of course, I'm not planning on heavy use, not scanning thousands of slides. I would think if that is your goal, you should invest in a more expensive unit. But- you never know!
