Friends,
I have followed with some interest the discussions on the LOREO.   It
would seem to me that many of you have lost sight of the fact that it is
not a Nikon or Pentax,  yet expect the latters quality on a camera
costing a fraction of their price, yet with two lenses!  It doesn't
pretend to be anything else other than a 'fun' camera,  and as such does
the job remarkably well.  And remember,  the Nimslo's -  20 years ago  -
cost four times the present price of a LOREO!

We have also experimented with matt-black finishing the interior of the
camera and find this is a vast improvement in reducing flare etc.  In
fact we have spoken to Tony Lo about this and he is now investigating
the possibilities of incorporating this into production models.

We have sold some thousands of the LOREO with very few complaints...but
more importantly,  it has introduced a whole new section of the public
to the wonders of 3-D...without any hassle.

Regards
Tony Shapps
