 www.dpreview.com  also did some test on the 3030 working at 10 and 24 C.
 They have great different in noise level:

CH interesting review.

But here we are comparing apples and oranges. The C3030 is a digicam that 
must work over as wide a range of exposures as possible. In a UMAX flatbed 
paper scanner you have ideal conditions in that you control the maximum white 
level. It is like being able to switch the sunlight level on with every 
picture you take with your digicam. In the digi-camera unlike the flatbed the 
exposure time varies as you try to collect enough photons  The noise in the 
digicam CCD should also be negligible under bright sunlight.  In the scanner 
you know you always have enough photons for pure white reflection from paper 
so the CCD does not need to work over nearly as wide a range as a 
digi-camera, hence the digitisation noise should be the limit.
