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.
