Review title: Software Downgrade of fine hardware
Product review: Excellent scanner -- fast and accurate.Software has been damaged compared to earlier releases. Email function oddly does not work with Outlook and Epson Scan is strangely crippled. Your settings can no longer be descriptively named. They come up "Setting 1" "Setting 2" etc., which is not useful.The hardware is without fault. While not quite the dynamic range of the pricey 4990, this scanner will be useful for people looking to scan 35mm or medium format film unless they demand very high quality. For most people digitizing the shoebox collection of slides, this scanner will be fine.I have had excellent results on reflective originals in both color and black and white. Noticeably sharper than my previous Epson scanner.
