Product name	Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100	Olympus E-P2	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Canon PowerShot S90
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.2 Very good	7.8 Excellent	8 Excellent	7.2 Very good
Review Summary	If you absolutely must have a 12-megapixel compact camera, the DMC-FX100 isn't a bad choice, but you can find better performing cameras with lower pixel counts for the same money.	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.	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.
