I've seen it, but I've never used it.  It's definitely lacking in terms of
build quality, and the resolution is pretty low, but it struck me as a
serviceable scanner for its price.  Personally I'd just wait for the
Nikon, if you're inclined that way.  $200, however cheap for a neg/slide
scanner, is a lot to spend on a purely interim solution.
