Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.8 Excellent	7.8 Excellent	7.2 Very good	8 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.	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.	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.	The GF1 is a very appealing choice for enthusiasts and users who wish to upgrade from a point-and-shoot.
