The white light LED technology is environmentally friendly as the ReadyScan LEDs contain no mercury, have low power consumption and heat dissipation, and virtually no warm up time, the company says.
 
The Perfection V500 uses a combination of 6400dpi Matrix CCD (Charged Coupled Device) and Micro Lens Technology, and can provide a faster scanning time with its 12 lines of CCD. The scanner also features Digital ICE (Image Correction and Enhancement) and Digital ICE Lite, a tool that uses both hardware and software to accurately detect and remove dust, scratch marks and finger prints from colour film and slide scans.
 
The Perfection V500 is USB 2.0 port interface compatible with Windows and Mac, comes with the latest software, including Epson Scan 3.2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, and ABBYY Fine Reader Sprint Plus.

The Epson Perfection V500 is currently available with an RRP of $499.
