Interesting article: http://www.petapixel.com/2012/12/23/why-you-should-digitize-your-film-using-a-camera-instead-of-a-scanner/

A bit surprising considering drum scans.

I've yet to be completely happy with any method.

Supermarkets could help if they only unleashed the power of their scanners and offer cheap prices...why not have two prices one for low scans and a bit more expensive for higher scans...a Fuji frontier machine on best scan would slaughter any flatbed scanner. Oh btw I have tried to bribe the operators at the supermarket for a high scan but the girl said "the machine is set by the engineers". Sad

comparing 10,000CZK scanner with at least 80,000CZK dslr/lens seems to me not correct.

But most photographers already have a DSLR and many also already a usable macro lens

this is not sport, it is comparison. I think it´s good to know what considerably higher investment brings you in quality.

then what if we made comparison of used drum scanner purchased for 80000czk with 10000czk dslr (which will be something like canon 1100D)? thats my point. comparison of V700 × 5DmII can be done, but its not objective truth about scan quality made by those two approaches.
