Andre,

I looked up the specs and they are pretty impressive. In the 35mm 
department 4800 dpi at a full 16-bit depth surpasses the competition. 
In medium format the dpi drops to 3200. I wonder in comparison to the 
Polaroid and Nikon which is more important, the extra 800 dpi or the 
extra bit depth (16 vs. 14)?

Comes with a glass carrier that should please a lot of people. Did 
not like the fact that you have to cut your medium format negs down 
to single frames. I like to keep mine is strips of 2 or 3.

Also take manufacturer's dynamic range specs with a grain of salt. 
There are other factors besides just the A/D converter.

Still I am glad to see more competition in this area. It will help to 
bring down prices and add features. Now if it just took 4x5 I would 
be really excited!
