One of the products I examined closely was the GR Digital. It's a beautifully-made product; solid body with lightly-dimpled coating, giving an excellent grip; large lcd to view; and small (shirt pocket fit). But, I have seen no prints, results. At the show, they launched a complete kit; including the camera, a wide-angle attachment lens (with hood) on the front (protruding ? 2.5" from the body), a bright bright viewfinder with both the 21 and 28 framing shown, wrist strap and belt carrying case. List price here, ? $900! Camera alone ? $635. It's just like a mini-Leica. I even banged it down onto the table a few times to see just how solid ........... like a rock (to drive- over???). Try and find some images to check further. Happy hunting, B. On 12-mrt-2006, at 5:34, Richard Clompus wrote: > I'm planning another motorcycle trip this Fall through southern > Spain.
