      X-bit labs - EPSON Perfection 4490 PHOTO Scanner: Impeccability Check

      By Sergey Samarin

      Review summary: Today we are going to take a look at another solution from the EPSON Perfection family, which was supposed to update the series of scanners targeted at photo amateurs and advanced users. How good will this mainstream product prove in our lab? Find out ...

      Verdict: This review is approaching its end, so it's time to sum it up in a few words. And in my opinion, the Epson Perfection 4490 Photo is a somewhat insipid, aimless product. It has a rather high price ($250) but lacks some useful functions. I don't like ...

    • Pros: everything
    • Cons: can't find any

    My 4990 is my third Epson Perfection scanner. After waiting years for someone to produce a scanner which took large format negatives Epson provided the ideal thing. My first I had for several years, which had a seperate light hood for negatives, then I got a 4870 with built in light hood, which I have had for a few years, the 4990 is very similar, and I now use both in diffrent locations.

    • Pros: excellent, sharp results
    • Cons: A little bulky

Its bulky to move it around - this is the only problem for me.
    Incidentally, "shopping4cameras.com" were also excellent. The price was ... Read Full Review »

    • Pros: Epson will replace it if more than 30 days old with a 'refurbed' unit!
