Per post: "<span style="color:green" title="green"><b>GDJMSP - Numismatist - Moderator</b>. - As was said we've discussed this before. Yes, most people have better luck with a camera than a scanner. But if you know a few easy tricks a scanner can surprise you. These pics were done with a scanner - color, detail, depth of field - it's all there. That said, yes, if I use my Nikon I can take pics even better than this. But my point is, these are pretty good.</span>" (Cited from: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/scanner-vs-digital-camera.33789/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/scanner-vs-digital-camera.33789/</a>).
