- Good question. I guess it depends on what you want the images
- to be. If you have a color photograph and would like to get it
- into your Amiga, then a 24bit scanner would be the best choice.
- If you have this neat statue, then maybe a Digi-View or Xapshot
- would be better. Oh, the Xapshot is a "quasi-digital" camera
- in which the photographs are stored on a small disk. I say
- quasi-digital because it is not exactly digital, but analog.
- I think Harv Laser could better explain it. As a matter of fact,
- this may be an FAQ.....
- Anyway, the Xapshot in combination with DCTV seems like a very
- nice way to get images into the Amiga. Has anyone compared the
- Xapshot/DCTV with Digi-View? Just curious....
