Scan Station C10 - Leica's new all purpose scanner

Even in the middle of this historic recession manufacturers continue to improve their offers. You might think this is pointless in these hard times, like trying to sell sunscreen to Eskimos in winter, but then you could be wrong about that. When is the right time to announce a new product? When the product is ready to ship, or when the buyers decides it's time for a new product? Maybe a little bit of both. And who says the economy is all that bad anyways? Some surveying companies are making a killing on scanning work right now. Don't be surprised if most of the scanning capable survey companies are doing much better than those without. Enter the C10. Leica announced this week the arrival of their newest all purpose scanner, the Scan Station C10. (Not sure were the "C10" designation comes from but I'll let you know when I do) I have only briefly ready through the marketing literature but it appears to be a step up in features and ease of use and less so in performance. Your actual productivity will likely increase with the on-board modular battery and on-board storage and controls. I'm eager to get my hands on one and will post a much more comprehensive review when I do. Meanwhile, I have several nearly completed article to finish and post for you, and I'll be updating some of the earlier posts to bring that information current.
