The size between GR-1 and Epic are very similiar. If you prefer 28mm lens then go for GR-1. In term of functionality, the manual distance setting on Minilux is very convenient when you ask someone to take photo for you. I always pre-set the distance first and ask them to take pictures. This way, I never have to worry about the focus failure. The flash option button and exposure compension switch are very convenient to use on GR-1. PS: I am a M user so pretty good at judging the distance. Tony At 03:31 PM 1998/8/17 +0200, Nathan Wajsman wrote: >Thanks Chris.
