True, the scanner-camera has several obvious problems. First, it must be permanently connected to the computer and the power supply. Secondly, there is no viewfinder and the subject is not displayed on the LCD, as we used to see.

In addition, the scanner calculates the exposure much longer than ordinary cameras. He also has limited photosensitivity.

But, in spite of everything, the gadget still works, and records images with an exceptionally high resolution of 143 MP, so you can close your eyes to the flaws. In addition, we now have the knowledge of how to use the old unnecessary scanner.
