A $16,000 Photo Scanner vs. a $500 Scanner
I recently had a few prints made from some medium format negatives. The prints are for a specific purpose so I wanted them to be of the highest quality possible, this meant taking them to a local specialist where the film was scanned with a $16,000+ Hasselblad Flextight X1. The Flextight is about the best quality scan you can get before moving up to dedicated drum scans that can be messy, time-consuming, and expensive.
Epson Unveils World’s Fastest Photo Scanner, Scans One Print Per Second

What's neat is that the app can also be used to quickly and neatly digitize a print instead of putting the photo through an actual scanner.
