Product name	Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1	Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.2 Excellent	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	The FX8 does not appear to be a major upgrade from the FX7. However, it offers a much-awaited battery life improvement, among other user-friendly features.	The GF1 is a very appealing choice for enthusiasts and users who wish to upgrade from a point-and-shoot.	The TX1's slim body and design will appeal to the fashion-conscious crowd, but some users may not like the photo quality.	If you can forgo the shooter's boring design and lack of HD video recording, the F70EXR has a lot to offer.
