EOS Off topic/brand question

Dear EOS Friends

I need a 35mm film/scanner and I have an opportunity to go to Boston Mass. in January. My budget lures around 400-600 usd and it needs to be purchased in B&H or in Boston (sorry for all the restrictions)

On one hand I have heard good comments about the Nikon Coolscan (my budget matches the Nikon Coolscan V ED) and on the other I don't see any Canon scanners at B&H (I'm loyal to the brand)

You are the experts, what do you recommend?


Thanks in advance,

Patricio Dueñas

Looking at  
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ProductCatIndexAct&fcategoryid=120

Canon has the four flatbed scanners when you look fior "Film and
Negative Scanners".  All are shown at B&H website.

Looks like Canon doesn't make any of the FS 2710 to 4000  type film
scanners anymore.
