Product name	Canon PowerShot TX1	Olympus E-P2	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	6 Good	7.8 Excellent	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	The TX-1's unique design is sure to turn heads, but it's also quite awkward to use, and its still image quality isn't up to Canon's usual standards.	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.
