Rating: Summary: Scanning 2 1/4x2 1/4 transparencies...... Review: There is no discernable way to scan these. Bummer!
Rating: Summary: simply amazing Review: This is my 4th color flatbed scanner, the others were UMAX, HP and Canon and I must say this is the best so far. Out of the box, setup was a snap, very easy to use, excellent color rendition and solidly built. Photography is my hobby and I scanned a 6X7 negative with scratches and applied the Digital ICE technology and I was amazed at the results, It saved me about 20 minutes of touch-up work. The quality comes very close to a dedicated film scanner. If all you need is a document scanner then this unit is overkill but if you are doing photography or just want the best scanner you won't be disappointed. I am not sure about the editing software that comes with it since I already had Adobe Photoshop 7.0 but the Digital ICE technology is amazing. This unit has USB 2.0 and IEEE/1394 Firewire interface. This is the first unit I have owned with a Firewire interface and it is so much faster than my old units. Epson has made my hobby fun again!
Rating: Summary: Epson / Adobe Problems Review: When you buy a $400 product you expect it to work. The 4870 comes with Photoshop Elements 2. I keep encountering a memory error that crashed Elements. I called Adobe helpline and their response was I should upgrade to Elements 3 for an additional $80 or I could pay them $40 to diagnose the software bug because Elements 2 is no longer supported.
So, recognize a hidden cost of $80 because of old, bad software.
