- Can handle both 35mm and medium format film with a max resolution of 6400 x 9600 dpi and dust/scratch removing technology.
- Comes with two plastic film holder inserts, a power cable, a data cable, and an Epson software CD.
- Setting up the scanner is straightforward.
- The scanner has four modes, with Home Mode being the recommended option for most users.
- The included software can be unstable on Windows 10.
- The scanner's quality is good enough for social media sharing or small printing, but professional lab scans still offer more detail and tonality.
- Scanning medium format film can be a bit of a challenge.
- The flimsy film trays and dated-looking software are drawbacks, and banding can be an issue when scanning medium format.

- High optical resolution of 6400 dpi and 48-bit color depth allows for extremely detailed and accurate scans of film.
- Automatic infrared dust and scratch removal helps to reduce the need for post-processing work.
- Extra large and extra set of film holders included with the V850 can improve and speed up a scanning workflow.
- The V850 is expensive, aimed squarely at professional photographers who require the latest advances in scanning technology.
- The film holders use a clip-in system that can be fiddly and occasionally difficult to snap in easily.
- The bundled Silverfast 8 software has an incredibly dated user interface and clunky controls, requiring a steep learning curve.
- Create extraordinary enlargements from film: 6400 x 9600 dpi for enlargements up to 17 Inches x 22 Inches. Maximum Scan Area 8.5 x 11.7 inches. TPU 2.7 x 9.5 inches
- Remove the appearance of dust and scratches from film: Digital ICE for Film
