Briefly, one can reach 100 lpm on a very fine 35-mm camera system. That yields 2400x3600x4~35 megapixels. With a zoom lens or typical user film, the advantage over a 6-MP camera is slight. However, if output is to be to a computer monitor or to a conventional printer (inkjet, laser or equivalent), the available image quality from 2 MP is satisfactory. Liner notes vary tremendously in resolution required for legibility. I have some LPs where 600 dpi monochrome is barely suffiicent and others where 150 is ample.
