I would expected most of the R&D costs for the P&S sensors / lens would have been recovered by now. This made me think, with the collapse of the P&S market Canon could use the sensors / lenses from these P&S to create a high quality simple manual film scanner. This means I can quickly check if the neg / slide is worth putting to one-side to scan on my Minolta film scanner. But as its allows real time viewing of the image on a PC ( as you push the negatives / slides through the scanner you see the image like its a video camera, you only capture a scan when you press the button or icon ). The Lidl scanner produces scans of very poor quality, colours are erratic, dynamic range is small, illumination is very uneven. Their are many reviews of these type of devices online, some people seem happy, many complain about the quality. Its based on a basic lens and sensor mounted in a tower pointing down at a back illuminated panel which has a simple negative / slide carrier manually pushed over the panel. I bought a cheap film scanner from Lidl ( a discount supermarket chain in Europe ) in a clearance sale, it claimed 5mp resolution.
