Product name	Olympus E-P1	Canon PowerShot G10	Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3	Nikon Coolpix P6000	Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent	8 Excellent	7.8 Excellent	8 Excellent
Review Summary	The E-P1's good looks and large sensor will appeal to enthusiasts, but general consumers may find some features lacking in this camera.	The G10 is going to be tough competition for the Lumix and other pro-level point-and-shoots, but it boils down to the image quality which is subjective. The features have not changed much, though it should satisfy those looking for a compact shooter to complement their dSLR setup.	The LX3 is a good camera with an excellent feature set that positions it way beyond any conventional point-and-shoot on the retail shelves today.	The inclusion of GPS into the P6000 could possibly carve a niche for Nikon, but the shooter has a lot of potential to be a better camera.	Despite minor flaws, we were captivated by the incredible image quality from the F200EXR, considering it is just a point-and-shoot. By far one of the best midrange compacts we've tested.
