Product name	Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3	Olympus E-P2	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7 Very good	7.8 Excellent	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	Though it leaves out one fun, little shooting mode, the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 improves upon its predecessor in nearly every way.	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.	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.
