At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.

This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

I have had this scanner in my possession for several weeks now and have scanned over 100 images. I have scanned printed media so my comments are limited to those types of scans only. I have been impressed both with the quality of the scans and...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 28, 2008 Type: User Review nice outputs, a little moody software

The scanner produces nice digital files at a rather acceptable speed. The software sometimes simply refuses to communicate right away with the computer (a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook), and you have to go through the whole startup a couple of...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 26, 2008 Type: User Review Epson Perfection 4490 Photo

This product is an excellent scanner particularly if you have a lot of 35mm slides to scan which is the reason I purchased it. It also scans photo's with excellent precision.

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 22, 2008 Type: User Review Epson Perfection 4490 scanner

For the price the 4490 is an excellent product. It's a bit slow at the higher resolutions but the basic resolution is adequate if you plan to make ordinary prints of the scan. Very easy to use.
