Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8.3 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	8 Excellent	7.2 Very good
Review Summary	The Nikon D80 hits the sweet spot between the entry-level and midrange dSLR market and will appeal to photographers looking for an all-rounder with a range of useful features.	More info	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.
