Product name	Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18	Olympus E-P2	Canon PowerShot S90	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	7.2 Very good	8 Excellent
Review Summary	Its ease of use is of note for a user who isn't prepared to delve into a camera's manual exposure settings, but who wants something better than a point-and-shoot.	More info	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.
