Best place to buy Epson V500

[flowerpot]

Hi Bros & Sis...

Can anyone share this infor ?

Decided to go for this... the V700 is just too ex...i dun scan enough to justify the high cost...

Where is the best place to get this and estimated price if available. Thanks

I bought at Cathay 3 months back, decent price.

Btw, loving the V500, I use it mainly to scan film/slide, accurate color straight from the scan, and simple software workflow. The film holder work fine for me. Only compromise is that you scan less per loading. I find this piece of gear worth every cent paid.

HI,

I think cathay was selling at a better price of $439, but they didnt have stock.
So i bought it at $448 at South Asia Computer. I think you can find it for cheaper if you look around. This was January this year.

For those who are looking to buy this, this is the shop where i bought my V500 from yesterday:

TNK Technology #05-56, Sim Lim Square

The lady running the shop is selling the V500 for $395 & includes the standard promotional gifts of a pair of Nike Sport Vapor Earphones + $10 Taxi Voucher. It isn't $390, but hey, it's just another 5 bucks away.

Promo gifts have to be collected from the address listed at the bottom of this PDF Promo Flyer: http://www.epson.com.sg/promo/MayPromo2009.pdf

I don't work for Epson, nor am i a die-hard Epson fan. Just sharing a good thing.

I called up the shop to find out if they had older stock, and they quoted me 448 when I asked for the v500's price.

I went and shopped around in SLS instead of calling, and I paid $395. Makes a difference in most cases.

Can i ask if there is anything real bad about the Epson V30? Sounds like a goos deal for a basic decent photo scanner.

I suppose it supports MF films as well?

i think the v30 doesnt scan negs and etc. only photos.

so far only the v500 and v700 does medium formats i think.

[yilishengxian]

the v300 can scan 35mm film.

the v500, v700 and (if u still can find) perfection 4490 photo can scan medium format film.

[Yoricko]

v300 can only scan up to 6 negs / scan, v500 can scan up to 12, saving a lot of time.

Anyways I think I got mine for SGD$428
