Re: P&S camera recommendations needed

2002-09-15 by smithj72

Here are two cameras you should also consider.
Olympus XA
http://www.diaxa.com/xa/xastart.htm

Ricoh GR1

As far as image quality is concerned, I would recommend the 
GR1 before the XA, but the XA is much cheaper and it is a good 
camera.

Good Luck,
Justin
