Since I got my own scanner for film, I never bother doing scans at the labs, but I recently had a few rolls developed at Costco, where I always develop my negative films, and I asked them to scan the pictures because I didn't had time to do it.
When I checked the images on the screen, I thought the pictures weren't that good and I blamed the camera, so I decided to scan some of the same pictures my self to see what happens.
The pictures coming from my scanner, the Epson V600 were much better, the colors were more natural, the image sharper, and surprisingly with more details.
It's funny, because the V600 cost about $250 and the industrial Noritsu costs about $15,000. Noritsu and Fuji industrial scanners are the most common scanners in any photo lab.
A combination of the film and cheap scanner make the number on this caboose impossible for me to read.

Yesterday, a Canon printer/scanner. Today, a Canon Powershot Point and Shoot. I couldn't resist it, just coz I can't stand not having an alternative to my DSLR. :-s (I got the cheapest Canon P&S they have in the store though, so yeah, this is just for the meantime. I'm still saving up for that Lumix).
Today, I realized I don't want to be loyal to just one particular brand of cameras (I've always been a Nikon loyalist, save for the Sony Cybershot I bought on impulse because it was cute.) So I'm laying my guards down, and welcoming Canon with open arms. LOL.
And yay, scanography. :)

96' Three Peaks cyclecross
Yorkshire Dales England
feels like a long time ago..
ended up in 22nd or 23rd place overall, 2nd place in the rookie category..pretty intense race with at least an hour of a 3 1/2 hour race spent off the bike walking, running or sliding up and down hills..great time all around though... looks like its the approach to the last peak as I still have one tag left on my jersey..had a head on collison with another rider coming down this same peak, he was going up, we just locked on to eachother and I ran straight into him and blew both of ourselves clear of the bikes..he screamed bloody murder and I just jumped back on and took off, probably 10 minutes from the finish at that point..rained the whole night before and the whole day of the race..the organizers make you carry a whistle, a rain jacket, and a rubber bright orange bivy sack that you buy at registration..some day I'll get back there..
photo source unkown..
Black paper, dried baby wipes and tin foil were used to create this ghostly scene with the scanner, with added details in pen.
After seeing this site
I was inspired to make a scanner camera of my own. I made it out of an old box, some duct tape and a telephoto lens. All my lenses just about fit without much adjustment. Oh McGuyver would be proud. Tried several lenses but found the telephoto to work best. Hoping to get a lomo to put in there *ahemcoughmarkcoughahem* hint hint.
Photos coming soon.

CT Scanner from Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/ugimw/what_does_a_ct_scann...
From the Comments there: "The upper left corner has the actual X-Ray tube. The lower right is the imager - it's what basically is the digital "film" for the CT scanner. The box in the upper right is probably the motor that makes the whole assembly rotate."
