Some customer in Tucson may be wondering just how much information is actually on film!! That's a good question. Film is an analogue source, like a painting. There is a certain resolution needed to faithfully capture all the details in a digital form. The following images are a simplification to illustrate some general points and are not exact.
In general it is recommended that you scan at or above the resolution of the film. For 8mm and Super 8 that means scanning at HD or 2K.
So, for example, if you are looking for the best quality DVD, scan your 8mm or Super 8 at HD. If you are looking to go to BluRay then scan your 8mm or Super 8 at 2K.

Tucson Fun Facts: The city is committed to further growth, with technology at the core. Tucson's superb climate and delightful blend of American, Hispanic and Native American cultures make it one of America's favorite tourist destinations. Tucson, located in southeast Arizona on the Santa Cruz River, is the second-largest city in the state. Originally settled by the Hohokam Indians around 300 BC, Tucson passed through Spanish and Mexican rule before being sold to the US in 1853 as part of the Gadsden Purchase.
Arizona Fun Facts: Arizona is the sixth largest state in the country in terms of area. Its population has always been predominantly urban, particularly since the mid-20th century, when urban and suburban areas began growing rapidly at the expense of the countryside. Arizona, the Grand Canyon state, achieved statehood on February 14, 1912, the last of the 48 coterminous United States to be admitted to the union. Originally part of New Mexico, the land was ceded to the United States in 1848, and became a separate territory in 1863.
