[filmscanners] Re: Epson 2200 does it exist?

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

There are a number of people with the 2200 in hand.

They exist (even on the west coast of Canada where I am (but are still
special order)).  You have hit the often created distribution brick
wall, which occurs early in the launch of a product that ended up very
popular and in demand.

Not knowing the exact demand, companies hold back on production in the
beginning, as it is better to have people hunger for a product (that has
no competition for people to run to) than to flood the channel and end
up with a dud that requires price slashing.

Further, I suspect Epson is making sure "everything" is to their liking
so that they have minimal returns and don't need to redesign, or if they
do, they can do so before many thousands of units get distributed.

So, if you must have one, bribe a store into providing you with the
next/first one they get in. ;-)
