Interestingly, Nikon, Canon and Minolta all seem to have hit their 
upgrade cycle at the same time.

Also interestingly, Nikon seems to be the only company that has 
actually rolled out upgrades, and even they are having trouble keeping 
up with demand. Especially with the 9000 model, which is in short 
supply everywhere.

Question: Why are these companies, which seem to have no problem 
manufacturing cameras in vast quantities, having such problems 
producing film scanners?
