Ok, I don't own the V200, but I have owned the V100, and mine died after 18 months and I only scanned about 100 documents. Now I have a big fat blue line through every scan and epson customer service, which sucks said I have to take it to a service center. Its not under warranty anymore. Before this scanner I had a previous generation epson scanner which gave me 3000 scans then died. I expected more than 100 scans. I won't be buying epson anymore.

I bought this product after reading other reviews because I have a huge slide collection and it was rated as excellent for converting slides. Well, maybe it worked well for others, but my experience was very poor. The process is easy, but the results were muddy and did not project well in Power Point. Pictures I scanned from books were fine, but I did not need this product for that purpose. The photo editing program is good and easy to use. If you have to convert slides, I would not recommend this product.

First off, I too had a smudge under the glass of mine. It was in the shape of the side of a palm and pinky finger, but without the fingerprint (like the person was wearing a glove). It is obvious in a scan with a very dark background only, otherwise not noticeable at all. Otherwise very clear glass. I had a Visoneer scanner that also had foggy glass (just generally foggy), so no big deal.
Now, I have a gripe about this scanner. The size of the glass is 9 x 12 inches, but the scans are only upto 8.5 x 11.7 inches. This creates problems when placing items on the glass and trying to ensure all actually will be scanned (doing a Preview will help). Also, the scanner cuts off between an eighth and quarter inch on the front and left sides of the glass. This can cut off decorative borders or small text at the edge of documents or photos unless placing the item a little inward from the edge. I find it hard to keep things straight when placing this way.
Aside from these issues, this is a great scanner. The lid has a white plastic cover inside , like most copiers/scanners do (I've read that Canon's has a cardboard insert). The insert removes easily to reveal the slide/film attachment (you have to put this behind the lid when you get the scanner, it comes in its own bag). I have my scanner positioned so that the lid opens to the back. It is on my desk's hutch which is 12 inches deep, so it fits perfectly. It's fast at previewing and scanning. I find that if I do a full scan at 600dpi photo, my hard drive actually can't keep up with the speed of the scan. So the scanner pauses throughout the scan waiting for the hard drive to write the data. A faster drive will not have this problem, at least not at 600dpi. I would like to point out that if you like to scan at high resolutions (I've gone as high as 4800 dpi with beautiful results on old photobooth photos) this scanner will do just that, but you need enough hard drive space on your system partition (usually C) to accommodate such a large scan, regardless of where you save the file.
As far as the driver goes, I use it alone without any software (when I scan inside PSP 9, I notice bugs in its settings). I like using Professional Mode. If you have any knowledge of 300dpi versus 600dpi, or color versus greyscale, then this should be easy enough for you. When scanning multiple items, PREVIEW allows you to select each area separately, then scan all at one time (the scanner will actually scan each one separately, save the file, go back to the edge, then scan the next until all are scanned, which seems wasteful on the scanner, but I guess other scanners do this way). Make sure to click the "All" button after selecting in order to scan all at once, otherwise it only scans the last item selected. By clicking on the icon next to the SCAN button,you can choose to save as JPG, BMP, TIFF, Multi-TIF and PDF. You can also choose where to save them, what prefix will be used for the file name and the start number. It also lets you open the folder where the file is saved or reopen the dialog after a scan so you can change settings between scans (like saving one scan as a BMP and then as a JPG, or in a different location, etc).
For magazine scans, I find descreening set to magazine at 600 dpi to be best. This feature actually removes the dot pattern typical of magazine scans. It works best on larger scans, smaller ones being too grainy. I find no use for Unmask Sharp or any of the color enhancing modes. I also find no use for Dust Removal which tends to make hairlines and eyebrows look like they were painted on. The thing that makes this scanner really stand out from my old Visioneer is the auto-exposure setting. I almost always use this. TIP: I use a black construction paper backer on many magazine scans to eliminate bleed through of the text on the other side of the page. This is also useful for two-sided documents where bleed through is apparent.
Lastly, I like that the scanner goes into standby mode after ten or fifteen minutes (still haven't timed this, believe it or not). If I restart the PC it stays in standby (my Visioneer always woke up which wastes energy and bulb life). It only comes on if I start the driver or push the power button. The warmup time is less than 30 seconds also, so better than my old scanner with that, too. The other buttons are useless for me. I didn't install any of the disc's software. I downloaded the driver from the Epson website.
I've done over a thousand scans with this scanner and had one crash (my fault - tried to cancel in the middle of a scan in Paint Shop Pro). My old scanner crashed every 20 or so scans. Photos look as good as I hoped, noticeably better than my Visioneer 6100, and I can scan at higher resolution for enlargements. Magazine scans are very good, but need to be shrunk to look sharp (I'd say anything more than 50% is too big for good quality). I use them as desktop wallpaper, anyway (at 1600 x 1200 pixels after shrinking, an 8x10 inch scan looks very good after some editing). I still haven't used the slide/film attachment, so no comment on that. I wish I could say it's better than current competing scanners, but I haven't used any of them.

Great scanner. Simple software- scans 3 or 4 photos a time. The machine senses the number of photos, though you have to get the hang of how to position the pictures on the glass. It determines if they are color or b&w, and each appears as a separate file. Very cool and much quicker than single scanning. The image quality is very good, even at standard settings, and often the images are clearer on the computer than on the original. If you need really high resolution, the scanner can do that too, but it takes a while. I've not tried to do negatives or slides.
