Camera Talk

Rose and I both got our V700s many years back I can't speak for her but I use the dookie out of mine.

Larry, for that price I bet you got it from someone in Florida?
I have the V600 and I am very happy with it. Have been using the Epson scanning software that came with it and which performs well, but I wonder if VueScan or Silverfast might be better and/or more intuitive to use. I downloaded trial versions of both last year, but could not decide. I'd rather spend 100 bucks on a camera wreck than on a volatile software download that might not add much to what I have now.

I use epson Scan too I tried the others and they were not much improvement. And no it was not Florida.

Thanks Larry. I'll stick with Epson Scan then and save my dimes for something else

As for post processing I use Elements 7 and also GIMP.

Never tried GIMP. I use Elements 9 (it came free with the V600 and I sold my paid-for copy of PSE9 on the bay, hehe)
When I'm rich I will perhaps buy Lightroom. I do quite some color to b/w conversions. Now I have the free Elements+ plug-in which has a channel mixer - works well too.

As I say. Use what works for you and you will be happy.
