Let's not forget the corollary to that expression is "with Nikon you don't get what you
pay for." By that I mean customer support. I learned that unhappy lesson with my first
film scanner, a Nikon LS1000 when I encountered nothing but arrogance, stalling, and
ignorance from Nikon "support." It's quite the opposite with Polaroid and probably 
would
be with Canon also.

Naturally I'll be looking forward to evaluations of the Canon unit by Ed and Tony but 
I'm
quite sure that I'd never buy from Nikon again.
