Will there be a new Nikon Scanner lineup soon? (PMA)

.....It took Nikon forever to update the NikonScan software for Safari (if they ever did).......

I guess I'm confused. Safari is Apple's web browser. Do you mean Tiger or Leopard, which are the Apple working titles on OSX? BTW, Nikon Scan works OK with Tiger and on the Intel processor, which is what I'm using.

I'm not sure I get it,
the 5000 appears in stock in several known places on line....

Yes, thanks. Total brain cramp. I meant Leopard. When Leopard first came out, Nikon took forever to update NikonScan.

I disagree. The remaining consumer users of film are not going back to wet dark room printing. If scanners die, I'll be pitching all of my film cameras. I have zero interest in going back to a wet dark room. I don't think film manufactures will let this happen. They know people who use film have a hybrid work flow. Someone will produce a decent consumer-priced film scanner.

For color, yes. For black and white I know I will go to wet work some day. In any case, I worked a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual II to the death and my Nikon Coolscan V sees more use than even that. And recently I bought an Epson V500 for MF. They will wear out long before my film cameras do. And then? I hope new scanners will be available in X years time.

If software is the problem they should bundle Silverfast or Vuescan...
