    What's the point of scanning it when you already have the original digital camera file? You are bound to lose some quality when you scan the print.

    1200 or 4800 dpi are resolutions far beyond what an TV can display. Let's say you have a high definition TV 42 inches, 1920x1080 pixels. Your TV has about 1920/42 = 45 dpi horizontal.

    Any resolution bigger that that has to be reduced to 45 dpi by the software on the PC or DVD-Box that displays it. This is why it makes no sense to scan at 4800 dpi.

    Using the original image is the best way to do it. This will avoid any artifacts due to scanning.
