Hi,
Our interest is to make a site (with Drupal, we have otherwise done this with custome programming) for product catalog, where products are grouped in a hierarchy (1-2 level only). Obviously, the category needs to be displayed as a grid and specific prod information to be viewed as a product info page (presuming this will be a cck node)
Can anyone please recommend the modules to use for this, esp. the image (thumbnail and grid display processes)
TIA
---- added later ----
Forgot to clearly mention that what we require is just a categorized (like that in taxonomy) display of prod thumbnails (upon link, it goes to detailed product page) However, we do NOT require any kind of shopping / cart functionality - not even pricing and/or attributes display. It ought to be fairly simply, as I guess provided I known of correct combo of modules.

I would recommend using
I would recommend using Ubercart w/ one of the grid contributions, although you should be able to replicate the Views grid used at http://www.greystokefarm.com/store/all_products with e-commerce if you want to use that module.
Check out the contributions directory, specifically the Catalog, Products, and Views sections for more info:
http://www.ubercart.org/contrib
http://drupal.org/project/ima
http://drupal.org/project/imagecache - image resizing
http://drupal.org/project/cck - node type
http://drupal.org/project/imagefield - image upload
http://drupal.org/project/views (if necessary) - custom lists
And the built in Taxonomy for classification.
This video may help for using imagecache and imagefield, otherwise just google it.
