Guys, When I was into strike collecting I used a Visioneer 3300 Scanner and it did a great job on strikes. I now use a Digital camera for all pics I take and simply download them into my PC. Takes about two minutes to download 30 or so pics. The "clarity" is awesome! I use a Sanyo 5 Megapixel camera. I have an 80 piture chip in it. Can be used over and over for thousands of pictures. Hope this helps out.
