Well, yes - if you want a really swank new nikon, sure it costs 2000. If you're willing (read: coerced by my bank account) to buy used there are deals to be had under a thou. The new canoscan 4000 retails _new_ for under a thousand and has gotten really good reviews from plenty of people I've read.(posted 8305 days ago)Besides, I live in new york -- I already have a rusty car, it's called the subway :)
