This wont scan Polaroid pictures or pictures that are think from any backing. Other than that issue with a few pictures. I love this scanner. I have had thousands of pictures to scan for years and didnt want to spend the money. I have scanned about 3/4 of my pictures in one afternoon. I would definitely spend the money on this scanner again!!

I bought this to scan and share old family photos. Had to get help downloading the correct software but it was a breeze once I was pointed in the right direction. Just using it for the first time but it is suiper fast scanning and the test photos are beautiful.

I have been scanning many old family pictures for a few years now. Started with a Canon LiDE 220 flatbed and that worked well until I was faced with a mountain of pictures still to do. Scanning on a flatbed can be quite tedious and I tired of the labour. I did some research and decided on the Epson FF-680W, mostly because of all the promises and that it is wireless. Ordered it through Amazon and it was here in days. Because I wanted to preserve all these old family pictures, many precious, dating back to the early 1900's, I was prepared to pay for the best scanner the market had. This is the One folks. It has only been 6 weeks and I have knocked off scanning as many pictures in that time as I did with the flatbed in a couple of years. Mostly because of the long, tedious time with the flatbed when you lose interest and months go by. Now, this is not to say the FF-680W is perfect. I still use the flatbed for scanning some hard card photos, newspaper clippings and some quirky items that the roll through Epson cannot handle. But, the Epson has never damaged anything to date. In fact, it seems it can't, no matter how delicate the original is. All in all I have come away from this with a great appreciation for the Epson FF-680W scanner. I just received in the mail today a custom made dustcover my Mum made at my request. Thanks Mum and thanks Epson. Keep up the good work.

My 2021 goal is to organize and archive all of my thousands of printed photos! After checking into the cost of someone scanning all of them, I began to research personal photo scanners! I determined that the Epson FF 680 was the one!!! The initial set up was a breeze! And it’s very user friendly! The scanner photos are very clear! I could not be happier with this purchase!!! Thank you Epson!!!

This thing really works well. I am in the process of converting thousands of old photos to digital. It is much faster than a traditional scanner & gives me a highborns quality 1200 dpi file. I'm copying the files onto individual hard drives for several family members.

So far the software is very cumbersome like old printers. Registration is all manual and didn't pull Serial number via WIFI or USB for some reason, Had to manually enter all contact information. Then it asked me if I wanted to leave a review and when I clicked yes it opened in explorer instead of preferred browser. We will see if the rest of this product is old school.

I bought this a few weeks back to scan old photos my parents have had sitting around for years and have been amazed at the clean up and color restoration that this scanner can do. It has taken old yellowed color photos and restores them like they did when we first got them back from the developer.

I am still in the process of learning how I want to permanently Scan 43 years of photos that have been sadly boxed out of sight. I have thousands and thousands of photos and the grouping of them harder than using the Scanner. I use a low dpi of 300 for documents and a much higher dpi for photos. Easy to do but at times I forget to revert to the lower dpi but that is on me and not the Scanner. I am extremely happy with my purchase and wish I would have bought a great scanner like this many years ago.

At first try, hooking the usb cable, i followed all directions, and started to install and download all files needed for the scanner. right at the 99% point, it stated it could not go through the process anymore. after several attempts, I completely uninstalled everything and then went with the wi-fi route and everything went fine. I love all the extra programs that come with the scanner to enhance and edit the photos.I liked there was no cd"s to install anything with. everything worked perfect and not a bit of trouble working with this scanner. It is one of the best ,if not the finest scanner i have ever had. This is a review for the Epson FastFoto-680W wireless High Speed photo and document Scanner System that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Bought this scanner to scan the myriad of photos that we have accumulated over the years. It was an easy set up and has been great to quickly make a dent in my project. Bought an external drive for my computer to store all the scanned photos. I am not a technology junkie and yet I can do it with this easy to use equipment. Happy Scanning!
