speaking of Nikon scan....
Sadly the 5000 seems to be gone but I still see the 9000 listed as current. However, only one or two stores have any in stock and they are charging like a 50% premium over MSRP. A few stores list it as discontinued but other places, including some big ones, list it merely as out of stock, back ordered, etc. I read that someone ordered one and they did receive a new copy a month ago (after a six month wait).
So is the 9000, at least, still in production, even if at a very low and sporadic rate???
EDIT: ok, well B&H got them in yesterday for a few hours before selling out again in a few hours, so it is still in production, but very sporadically and at very low rates
