[QUOTE="RUFUSREDDOG, post: 897728, member: 18541"][b]Blessed with Both[/b] [FONT=Comic Sans MS]I'm Blessed with Both a cheap scanner & a pocket digital camera with macro mode. But damned with poor visual acuity. For getting beautiful images their is no substitute for spending gobs of money on: SLR/Macro Lens/Lights/copy stand etc. Then spending gobs of time moving lights/camera/copy stand/tweeking lens and defusers / reflectors etc. So if you love photography, go that way and spend as much time (and money) taking great photos that make you happy. OR: Read your scanner instruction book, throw a coin on the glass and get a representation that can be evaluated at your leisure in great (albeit most likely blander) detail. I use both for different things. (Except for spending gobs on camera stuff.....yet). [/FONT][/QUOTE]
