Digital cameras as "scanners"

[Jim Cummins <jcummins@xxxxxxx>]

Are there any subjective or objective comparisons of 
(5M, ~$999 flavor) digital camera capture of slides or 
negatives vs scanning the same slide or negative.  
Auxillary lens usage is assumed for the digitial camera.

If cropping is done at the capture point the camera 
resolution would also be spread over the specific area 
of interest.   The burden of color and mask corrections 
would, of course, move to the software side after capture.
