Product name	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7	Olympus E-P2	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.0 Very good	CNET Asia editor's take	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime--especially sports, children, and animals--the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 is a good choice. The more expensive DSC-H9 has a larger, flip-out LCD, infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identical.	More info	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.
