I am looking for advice on which of two scanners to purchase for our
historical society.  We will be scanning photographs, negatives, and slides
for archival purposes to retire the originals as well as to sell prints to
researchers.  We had two computer consultants work up quotes for us, but
they each choose totally different equipment.  The choice for the two
scanners are either a lower resolution scanner with a seprate tray for
slides, negatives, etc (1200x2400 dpi) or a scanner with a higher
resolution but with the adapter in the lid (3200x6400dpi).  Which is more
important, the tray or the higher resolution?  I would be grateful for any
advice on this topic.
