This is also a question about what is your time worth?
If you want high quality with either a camera or a scanner I was hard pushed to do more than 1 a minute. Roughly 20 hours to do 1000 pictures. Not worth my time. The company I used years ago is no longer in business.
I have used a company- Legacybox- to digitize old vhs tapes about 6months ago, they did a good job. They do pictures, but I have not used them for pictures.
Pro's will have better equipment and a better workflow than a home user. But they are not cheap- costs about $500 to scan 1000 images at Legacybox.
Time vs money- like so many other things in life.
