What does > one get for the considerable difference in price? A very interesting review of the LS-1000 can be found at http://johnp.simplenet.com/psmart/psmart.html. He compares it to the HP Photosmart. The higher cost of the Nikon is reflected in the results. I am about ready to take the plunge, too, and am leaning toward the LS-1000. Have you been shopping prices, Stephen? Seen any good deals out there? With Leica's history of the system approach to photography, why don't they market a scanner that will match the quality of their lenses? (I won't hold my breath). Gary Todoroff
