Re: filmscanners: Canon FS2710 vs Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II

[Arthur Entlich <artistic@ampsc.com>]

I'd also be interested in replies to this.  I noticed two things of 
interest in regard to the Minolta Dimage Dual Scan II.  One, here in 
Canada, its backordered for up to two months due to demand.

2) I saw a bunch of refurbed units for same recently on "ubid", which 
worried me, being that this model has only come out perhaps 6 months 
ago, if that.
