You can get a good scanner for less than $1k, here is one for $75..

I have an acer scanwit, at 2700dpi its more thats needed for any astro
image that I have ever scanned.. you are essentially scanning film grain at
2700dpi with the coarse grain films that we typically use.

For daytime photography I cant say, I would GUESS that is you had a good
lens, a good tripod and used fined grain 100ASA film then 4800dpi would
come in handy.

More important I think is depth-of-focus of the scanner, dynamic range and
speed. You also want at least 36bit outputs..
