It also adds X-Rite i1 Scanner Profiling Software for color calibration, plus a standard calibration target. The V850's software includes a somewhat-more-capable version of LaserSoft Imaging's SilverFast scan utility than the one that comes with the Epson V800. Epson says you can't buy additional holders separately at this writing, although it expects them to be available at some point. Having two sets of film holders lets you scan one set of originals while inserting the next set in a different holder, which is a useful convenience if you're scanning a lot of originals at once.
The only other differences, according to Epson, are an extra set of film holders for the V850 and a slightly different set of software. Where the two primarily differ is in their optics.The V850 offers what Epson calls an enhanced version of the optical system in Epson V800. Both also offer Digital ICE hardware-based dust and scratch removal. They offer a claimed 6,400-pixel-per-inch (ppi) optical resolution paired with a 4.0 Dmax rating, which translates to a promised ability to distinguish small changes in shading over the full range from white to black, particularly for shadow detail (details based on shading in dark areas). Both models can handle anything from 35mm slides to positives or negatives as large as 8 by 10 inches. Both are flatbeds, which means they can scan photographic prints, but the real reason to get either one is for scanning film. There aren't many differences between the V850 and its less expensive near-twin.
