Camera VS Flatbed Scanning ~ In-Depth Comparison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- In this video I GO SUPER IN DEPTH and compare my Epson v550 with my Panasonic gh4 for scanning 35mm film to see which is the best way to scan film.
Mostly looking at this comparison from a pure practicality standpoint, trying to cover all aspects and considerations to take when scanning with each setup. To find the OVERALL best way to scan.
These are MY results with my setup, obviously with a good lens and a much better camera you should be able to match or exceed the image resolving capability of the current flatbed scanning technology (which is all from 2007) ESPECIALLY if you do image stitching! (without stitching tho camera scanning larger formats is pointless unless you are rocking one of those ultra high megapixel cameras and a sick nasty lens) but I've come to the conclusion that flatbeds are - IN GENERAL- A LOT better than most methods of camera scanning currently in existence. which is very UNFORTUNATE, BECAUSE FLATBEDS ARE NOT REALLY THAT GOOD EITHER! In fact flatbeds are equally annoying and tedious in their own ways.
There is ONE HUGE way camera scanning would always 100% DESTROY flatbeds though, but I'll save that topic for a future video!
If someone wants to fund me I have an idea for a modern film scanner that would be better than both in terms of quality!
Most of the copystand setup pics i got from the NLP forums so credit to those crazy dudes with their goofy setups (LEGO FILM SCANNING ARMY)

You mentioned it in passing, but I can confirm it: Using high-res pixel-shift on a camera can make camera scanning viable even for 120 film and (to a certain degree) 4x5! For the same reason you've shown regarding always using 4800 ppi on your scanner. I do use an Olympus Pen F digital, which has an 80 MP mode (together with the Olympus 30 mm macro), and it does give excellent results with 120 film (up to 6x9). Even the 4x5 negatives turn out with details down to film grain. And some of those Olympus m43 models are quite affordable used, so it's an option. Also, a flatbed scanner permanently requires lots of (table) space, while camera scanning can be set up temporarily. Since I already had the Pen F, it was the way to go (and will remain for everything smaller than 4x5); one day I'll go Epson V850 (or whatever model will be available then, but I think the V850 will be the last model), because 8x10 is lurking somewhere in the future … ;-)
Excellent video. I will be recommending anyone who is interested in this topic to this video.
Solid information from your entire serious. Still fighting the sharpness-demon of my flatbed epson 750. Parts of me say I should fork over a heavy loan to get a Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 ED and make even more bad decisions, but even then it's yet again dated, could die at the slightest touch, and would improve the sharpness maybe a little more at the cost of a used car??????? What a hobby. Looking forward to more videos and wildness from you!
The best video for scanning film.. well explained and very easily understood.. amazjng .
Hope that you will also discuss large format film scanning.. drum scan ..
I would like to try the JJC es-2 for half the price of origin one
Yep I really like hearing you talk about subject I have nothing to do with.
(Psst. you said "CCclean". There's only 2 c's in CCleaner)
I ALWAYS call it CC Cleaner intentionally.
there're*
