I believe it already has. The Minolta Elite (a 2820 dpi scanner with
digital ICE) sold here for between $1700 and $1900 CAN ($1 CAN = $.65
US). The new price is about $1200. That's a substantial drop, which
I'm sure is in response to the new scanners, and also perhaps to
something new coming from Minolta?? (I'm guessing a 4000 dpi version).
