Nikon introduces affordable Nikon COOLSCAN V ED. Nikon introduced a new line of scanners. The Nikon Coolscan 9000, 5000 and V. These replace the 8000, 4500 and IV respectively.
The most interesting for me is the Nikon Coolscan V. It is the entry model but now has 4000 dpi, Digital ICE 4, the fancy Nikkor ED glass lens and USB 2.0. Competes really well with the new Minolta 5400 IMHO>
