Product name	Canon EOS 400D	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Olympus E-P2	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.8 Excellent	8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	The Canon EOS 400D remains a very good first dSLR, but ultimately a disappointing followup to the 350D, which cedes its lead to the Nikon D80.	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.
