Perttu Luukkanen has published his review of the Epson Perfection 3170 scanner, which according to Epson is “the scanner for experienced users and photo enthusiasts”. Find out if Perttu agrees.

“There are few scanners that promise what the Epson 3170 does. An outsanding 3200 dpi resolution, 48 bit color, prints, slides, negatives, both 35 mm and medium format and for all this, it’s dirt cheap. Street price for the 3170 hovers around $200 in the US, although it’s more likely be around €270 (~$300) here in Finland. It comes bundled with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 which is worth something itself, especially if you don’t have a post-processing software.

Before I bought the scanner I tried to look for a decent review on the Net and I could find none. That may well be the reason you’re reading this. I felt I had to put something available, since I know there are a lot of people out there wondering whether this scanner is really good enough for scanning film, especially at this price.”
