I've been slowly converting old printed photos to digital copies using flatbed scanners on multifunction printers and even though this works just fine, it is very time consuming. When I heard a radio ad for the FastFoto FF-680W, I thought it might be worth a look to speed up the process. It was everything they said it was, fast, easy to use and I was able to scan 20 years of photos in about 8 hours. If you are looking for a fast-easy way to convert your print photos to digital copies, I would highly recommend this product!

is a review for the Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-speed Photo and Document Scanner System that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. This scanner is truly amazing. It fits perfectly in my room because of it's practical size, and I have been able to scan and fix family pictures that I thought were not going to ever be restored. It connects easily to wi-fi and I can access it from my phone, which is extremely convenient for when I am printing pictures from social media. I highly recommend it!

Epson - FastFoto FF-680W Wireless Photo and Document Duplex Scanner is AWESOME!! The quality and ease of use is fantastic. I would recommend it. We all have those boxes of photos and documents from our children that we never quite got in that scrap book. This scanner lets that . An incredibly designed and well-functioning device. I feel very safe with putting my photos through it. The speed is remarkable. There are many excellent features that make organizing the photos easy. Photo retouch options is also very helpful. The Epson will make a second copy with improved color and contrast. Amazing results. It also has a function that will copy notes that are on the back of the photo.

Bought it this week and have already scanned over 100 pictures. Not bad but it does come with issues. First, if there is old tape or glue on the back of a picture, it jams. The back has to be scrapped clean and pristine. Secondly, it will not scan Polaroids. Too thick. An entire generation used Polaroid cameras so there are millions of those out there, fading and rotting. I have a flatbed scanner for those but many don't have that option.

Digitizing family photos from last 30 years. This product just works. Waited a long time for the Epson version. 1200 dpi with enhancement takes some computer horsepower, be sure to match Epson OS version with your computer OS version for best results. Results are worth it and so easy for making digital (printed) albums. Thank you Epson.

Received this scanner as a Christmas gift over a year ago. Works great as far as scanning photos and documents and receipts BUT i have had no luck connecting to the WiFi at home so i have to use the USB cable to connect to my computer. I'm not sure if its the scanner or my Mac Book Air that is the problem. Don't seem to be able to find any Epson software updates either. Wonder if its better to use a windows computer.

I have not really used the scanner yet, but the installation via wifi is a royal pain. I use Netgear Orbi and the sync button did NOT work for WPS. After 30 minutes of messing around I just opted for USB connection. It would not be soo difficult to simply let the user put a PW in. I can’t stand WPS!

The scanner has been a great tool for digitizing our years of family photos stored in dusty photo albums. It’s amazing to watch it pump though a stack of photos even at high resolution. Our struggle has been finding a good cloud app with the needed folder management system to display and share them with family and friends. I think one software change would help me significantly. The software does a good job incrementally identifying each photo file name as it’s scanned. However most Cloud apps sort photos by origination date and the Epson software applies the same date and time to every photo. Unfortunately when you scan 100 photos in the order you want them displayed the Cloud software randomly displays the images. This is frustrating and forces you to spend hours manually reordering them afterward. I could use an option that allowed the software to incrementally add one minute to each photo so that they’ll remain in the sequence they’re scanned.

The scanner mechanically works fine but there is some very noticeable streaking, particularly the blue channel. There is no dirt on the lens. The capture software leaves a lot to be desired. Non-intuitive and ultimately frustrating. No parameters to set for the "auto correction" which usually overcooks the photo. The streaking is also not corrected by the software, even though there is a setting in the capture software. Flatbed scanners produce a better result but are very time consuming.

1. To register the product it is required to enter the unit's serial number. However, nothing shows where to find the serial number. So, one has to guess which of the numbers on the label to use. 2. Much more importantly, after going through the entire software setup, wifi enabling and registration process, there was no way to get started scanning. Reloaded the software. Still didn't work, and no error message. Only worked once I decided to plug the cable into the computer. 3. Once I got it working, it scanned pictures exceptionally well. The current problem is to figure out where the pictures are once they are scanned and how to share them. Again, hard to find the answer on the help website. 4. Someone more computer-savvy probably wouldn't have these problems ...
