The problem with copying directly with a digital camera is dust and/or scratches. Digital I.C.E. does a great job on removing those nasty things. Unless you have the slides/negatives spotlessly clean, you lose a lot of time cloning in Photoshop afterwards. I tried this and gave up after a while. My slides were mostly old stuff and difficult to clean before copying but, even with freshly developed film I don't know .. I think, all considered, using a scanner is faster.
( Of course with B/W silver based film digital I.C.E. won't work so, in this case, direct copy would be fine )
