I'm sure there are some Canon dealers with more info, but this is what I know/have seen:
* Cheap: Seen it sell in public sector for: $1,843, $935, $1,470, and $2,660
* higher speed, memory, paper capacity, and price than predecessor
* Durability theme: clean sheet design, longer life consumables, "ease-of-maintenance"
* Includes color scanning
* No HDD - positioned as high security, but obviously a cost-cutting move
