Review Summary

For the best image quality at this price point, there's really no other Nikon-mount dSLR that comes close.

Olympus second effort for Micro Four Thirds camera feels somewhat half-hearted, but users who wish to try their hands on this new format will find the E-P2 an attractive choice.

The GF1 is a very appealing choice for enthusiasts and users who wish to upgrade from a point-and-shoot.

This advanced compact has a good range of shooting options to keep most shutterbugs occupied, but we think there is still room for improvement in some areas.
