I guess that a film camera (i.e. still photo film camera) can produce a better result (in terms of resolution and color) than a digital camera. Only a few years ago, any professional photographer would dismiss digital camera as a toy. But today's digital cameras are a different breed, so we need an opinion of somebody who still uses a reflex film camera.
As far as examples of microfilm reproductions available in digital libraries are concerned, the quality of pictures is very bad. Is it because they didn't have a repro v-cradle for shooting?
If you need only paper copies of paper documents and not digital copies, you may achieve the same (or better quality?) with my v-cradle design and a film camera, but the lighting, focus and postioning problems will be the same for analog and digital shooting, with much more difficult and costly setting and processing for analog pictures.
If you think of a digital video camera, the zooming is impressive (x800 etc.) but when you save a frame, the resolution is rather low. However, you can probably use the zoom to read your neighbour's book over a distance.
