[Web4lib] Scanners, Digital Archiving

[Charles Heffner]

First post here.

I didn't want to hijack Jody DeRidder's thread about overhead
scanners, but it's a topic near and dear to my heart.

In short, why use a scanner at all? High-end digital SLR cameras that
run $900-$1600 already provide higher resolution "scans" than a $2,000
scanner (e.g., Epson 10000XL). Combined with the massive speed
difference, perhaps it would be a better idea to go with a camera?
