Probably an altogether lower league to the recent post, but what's the
opinion on this*:

The pros is that it is cheap, but the cons is that it is only 5
megapixel. Ie, as good as a 5 megapixel camera. There are many in this
range.

actually, it's worse than a 5 mp camera for several reasons, including
having a low quality lens and low quality sensor.

there are cameras with *less* megapixels that can produce better
results.

The Reflecta X7 is 14 Megapixels, but costs four times more (£106.22 at
Amazon UK). Two seconds per photo, manual feed.

also junk, just slightly less so.

That's your opinion, not shared by others.


If you want better quality than that there are many choices, but more
expensive. Some take several minutes per photo, some use advanced
techniques to eliminate dust.

quality costs money. no surprise there.

If you already have a macro lenses, then an "slide copying adapter"
becomes interesting.

macro lenses are not required.

You choose according to your price bracket and needs :-)

obviously.
