I brought this scanner several years ago. Do I loose a lot from not buying the epson v850 or v800 epson scanner.

Question has no details.... why not specify what you use a scanner for.

You bought a scanner several year ago ... OK ... Do "I" lose a LOT ( how much is a lot??) of Money, of dpi, LOT of what??

Do you plan on going back in a time machine to change your decision. OR if the decision was wrong, then are you going to do the "honorable thing" and commit suicide. You bought the 4870.. so you have it what are you really asking UHH?
---------------
Your question is a typical UHH vague question which assumes that every one can read minds!!! Not picking on you ... commenting on UHH people in generally a "20 Questions" and is a game we UHH people should not play. Lay your cards on the table for analysis. What help is needed???

I would be surprised if the new scanners are no better than the old ones. Read reviews of the new models and see what they say about them.

What brought this kind of response on? This is one of the rudest set of comments I've read on here in a long time. The question from the OP was proper, and deserved a lot better than this.

Just my 2 cents, but Epson makes great scanners. I have a much older Epson Perfection 1200U that after all these years, still more then meets my needs. I've even scanned negatives with it and made prints at least as good as those made from the negs at a local photolab. I'm not sure what your needs are but I'm thinking your fine with what you have.
