It's almost certainly a little digicam with a fixed registration copy
lens setup. The only real advantage over a scanner might be speed.
You'd be better off with a used Minolta Scan Dual II/III/IV and
Vuescan software. Recent Ebay prices on the Scan Dual II are down in
the $60 range, and it will produce a 2820ppi, 10Mpixel image, where
this device is claiming a 5Mpixel image (about 1900-2000 ppi).
Of course, with a K10D and a macro lens capable of 1:2 magnification,
you can set up a copystand rig that is both fast and produces 10Mpixel
images.
I've had very good results copying prints with my K20D. The only downside
has been the time for setup - getting things perpendicular, adjusting the
tripod for the proper distance.
