What will be interesting to see is how well Canon's version of ICE performs and
how well made the scanner is for the pro's... If Canon takes the same tack with
scanners as they have with their cameras, Nikon et al had best be ready to run
hard to catch up and ASF will have to take a different marketing tack... This
from a die hard Nikon camera user who is getting ready to switch to Canon's
cameras and lenses....
