What does /p/ suggest in the way of scanning 35mm camera pictures onto a digital format?

Also, what kind of 35mm film is all-around best? I used Kodak and crappy CVS 200 speed film for my vacation to northern California, but if I take professional-grade pictures I'd like them to turn out well.

Taken using an old Canon A1, scanned with an EpsonStylus Photo RX500 at 600 DPI with zero compression, resized using picture manager

Doesn't exist. Velvia is great for landscapes, but sucks for people. Portra's great for people, but sucks for extremely low light. Delta 3200's great for low light, but sucks if you need fine grain or, you know, color.

And so forth.

Best way to scan? Use color slide film and scan it using a slide scanner such as the Nikon Coolscan 5000.

There isn't really a best all-around 35mm film but Kodak 100G is pretty versatile.

I'd say reala 100 is probably the closest I'd want to a good all around daylight film

I find that Provia 100 works pretty well for me; it's not really as saturated as Velvia, but it does work for both people and landscapes; not that i'd necessarily recommend it though.

As for scanning; invest some money in a good scanner, it'll pay off later. I have a Nikon Coolscan at home right now and it works out great, with a little bit of color loss, but not as much as it could be with some of the other scans I run into, but again, investing the money now is a smart idea, if you are able to do so.
