What’s up with the Epson V500 scanner?

8 Jun

I ordered this Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner on April 19th and I still haven’t received it from Amazon. I happened to catch it for only $149.99 with free shipping but Amazon keeps moving out the delivery date. Two months is a long time to wait and I’m curious to know if anyone out there has any information on Epson’s supply issues. Are they phasing it out? I sure hope not – from reading reviews online it sounds like an awesome value for a great scanner.

I just hope Amazon’s not playing dirty and not shipping it to me since I caught it at a low price with free shipping. Right now it’s $184 but there are only 4 left from the current vendor. I bet if I paid more for it I’d have one already.

I’m excited about getting my hands on it because I have tons of old color slide film as well as black-and-white negatives that I’d like to scan. Not to mention we have tons of old family photos, drawings, etc. that we’d like to archive for future generations. I’d also like the ability to shoot film with my old Nikon N70 and have the ability to scan, edit, and share those images quickly without having to send them out to Scancafe.
