Hi Alexander,
My understanding is you would like to copy your good sketches well enough to reproduce and print to keep or sell , or to keep best quality digital files backed up somewhere.
A camera regardless of how good it is will always bring in slight distortion either from not being square on to your work to be copied or from slight lens distortion which will change your image slightly from your original.
A good flatbed scanner these days will copy your images with hi resolution and no distortion. A camera will often copy well in close up and the further you move away from your work the harder it is to keep the sharp quality of your sketches. A lot of cameras today will copy this work for you but you will need a good copy stand, a remote release and good lighting from both sides approx 45 degrees angle.to reduce reflection.May slight enhancement in photoshop.
Even a reasonably good canon flatbed scanner will do the job for you very easily and fast.
You only need about 600 dpi on the scan and it will pick up the dust specks off your chalk or pencils.
Is that a help?
