I just purchased an Epson Perfection V30 from NewEgg.com on sale for less than 50 bucks shipped. I have been using it for several days now making copies of old (50 years plus for some) 8x10 B&W and Color prints for which the negs are long gone. I am very pleased with the quality and convenience. The quality is several stages better than what my old Canon 660U provided, and I thought it was a great scanner. But 8 years of technology go a long way!
I have also copied old prints using my K20, as Ken did. The results were quick and painless, and the resulting images are as good as with the Epson. It would totally depend on the situation at hand. If I didn't have a scanner I seriously doubt that I would buy one if I seldom needed or wanted one, especially when I knew that the dslr would do just as well.
