  A scanned photo should have the same, or more, clarity than a digital photo. If you are having trouble with the scans being noisy and soft, check the settings on the scanner. You might be scanning at a low resolution.

When I shot slides, I would have them scanned at the lab I had my film developed, and they turned out great.
