I have received two responses from TAXACOM, both supporting the use of DSLR. Here is the latest one:
We (USF) routinely use a DSLR camera for herbarium specimens. We use a high F-number to keep bulky specimens in focus, a high ISO, and two diffused flashes. Once setup (with the camera on a stand), the process is a breeze.
