Thanks! Ricoh has such a small presence in the US camera market, sales here are no indication at all. They had departed the US market entirely a dozen years ago, dragged back by specialty importers due to the unique qualities of their fixed lens compacts - the GR1, GR21, GRD, etc, have all had continued sales to a small photo enthusiast community, often importing them from the UK and other places. I had the GR1 way back in the stone age (around 1996-ish) and found it a superb camera, one of the best of its class. This one is even better. By a good bit! I'm looking forward to getting real comfortable with it. :-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
