But as Ofnuts mentioned, smartphone photos and photo quality are 2 very different things. Pressing a 24 mm x 36 mm negative in a small (smartphone) camera sensor results in a great loss of quality.

If possible, use a DSLR with a full frame sensor (24 mm x 36 mm)

Hi,

Thanks for your advice and links.

Yes, you're right.  DSLR is the scanning route for quality positive images.  I have been discussed DSLR route heavily on other forums.

My target DSLR camera:-
Canon EOS 850D and EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens

EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

But I expect to know whether I can use them for daily life capturing, without purchasing additional lens.  Up to now I haven't received a definite reply.

Actually there are 3 scan routes for me to select;
1. Flatbed scanner.  I have >10 years experience scanning photos/documents/films on it.  But its scanning speed is too slow.
2. Scan with smartphone.  I'm now testing this route.
3. Scan on DSLR camera.

I shall not print the images but using them on digital album, posting them on website or creating slide shows to be played on PC.

The reason for me selecting smartphone route is convenient in operation.  I can run remote desktop, remotely controlling the smartphone on PC.  The fixture for scanning is easy to build.  I can build the fixture myself.  Alternatively it is available in market, not expensive.

I'll continue testing smartphone route a few days.  My next test will be running KODAK Mobile Film Scanner (software) on smartphone. After finish I'll decide the scan route and start my adventure. It'll take sometime for me to finish scanning all old film negative.

Actually, I have another adventure awaiting for me - digitizing V8 tapes to video. My headache is without a device.  My Sony V8 Video camera is NOT working. I have the complete technology.
