600dpi should be enough for most printers, and, at a one-to-one viewing ratio, since screens are less than 100dpi, great for viewing.

With a digital camera (but not a cheap point-and-shoot), the resolution is many, many times higher. If you need to examine documents, or digitally repair old photos, higher is better. IF, of course, a camera is permitted.

With these glowing reviews, I'm going to have to try out a Flip-Pal!

I have a Flip Pal, and I really like it. You can scan large things in pieces (it comes with stitching software that is really amazing), and you can remove the cover and even scan things on the wall. It only scans in JPG, 300 or 600, and I've found that it's best to keep some spare batteries.

I had a magic wand and never could use it right for a good picture. Documents I could do fine. So ended up getting a flip pal too and love it. One thing to know though although you can scan a pic at 600 if you stitch it you use some res. The more stitching involved the lower the res.
