Product name	Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01	Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1	Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS	Casio Exilim EX-Z1000	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.8 Excellent	7 Very good	7.8 Excellent	7.4 Very good	7 Very good
Review Summary	The Lumix FX01 proves to be a compact shooter that performs, just like its previous incarnations, though it misses the mark in terms of image quality.	For users who don't care for manual options on a 10x optical zoom camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 is a good choice.	The Canon IXUS 800 IS has practically everything you could want in a compact camera, though you might think the price tag a bit steep.	The trendy design and user-friendly features manage to steal some thunder from this high-resolution shooter. However, the Exilim EX-Z1000 is still a basic digicam targeted at users who want a high-resolution camera.	The slightly bulkier Cyber-shot T30 (compared with the Cyber-shot T9) is targeted at those looking for a compact-sized shooter with a large LCD screen.
