Well, at $380-450 for a GR1 (and for that matter, $700-800 for a Minilux 
or Minilux Zoom), these cameras hardly sell to the average 
point-and-shooter far as I can tell. They sell typically to the more 
photo-knowledgeable or to the collectors of cameras with fashionably 
expensive names who couldn't take a picture anyway. (My, do I have an 
attitude there? ;)

My website's URL is <http://www.bayarea.net/~ramarren/>. I'm working on 
two more photo presentations, hope to have them done this weekend 
sometime.

And thank you for the compliment. :)
