Product name	Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX9	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Olympus E-P2	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	The FX9 is a more promising upgrade if you haven't had the FX8 yet. Be prepared to fork out extra money for a high-speed, high-capacity memory card and an additional battery if you intend to shoot lots.	The GF1 is a very appealing choice for enthusiasts and users who wish to upgrade from a point-and-shoot.	More info	The TX1's slim body and design will appeal to the fashion-conscious crowd, but some users may not like the photo quality.
