Few flatbeds will do a decent job of this, unless you are happy with
screen resolution images for email and website use, and don't have a
lot of shadow or highlight detail to catch, or are scanning relatively
grainy, fast film.
Flatbeds that are designed for such use are into five figures, even
used.
Beware consumer-grade scanners that claim more than 1200 samples per
inch. Having enough sensing cells to do high-res is not the same thing
as actually achieving that resolution!
