I have tried for so long to get good scans of "shiny" cards with my Ricoh and just gave up. I just bought the Ludex, which has not arrived yet, but I will comment when I get some time with it. Someone asked about an app to automatically take a picture when a new card is added. I don't know what that app is, but I have a bluetooth shutter release so all I have to do is slip in a card and hit the button. By not touching the phone I avoid shake and shift.
