I never purchased a digital DSLR, much less a newer mirrorless camera and lens, after my ancient Memory Stick Sony Cybershot.
I once did some picture - to - film salvaging of old photos with an SLR, it was a tedious experience for a few pictures (mainly because I only had an inappropriate lens). I imagine it would be easier with a digital mirrorless + proper macro lens and some additional equipment - but is this a painful task for say, twenty rolls of 36 - shot film and approximately 800 family album - sized pictures?
With my current line of work, having a flatbed scanner at hand seems more beneficial - and adding a contemporary $500 Plustek + $500 software seems the least painful financial insult.
