Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.2 Very good	8 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount of money on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.	The GF1 is a very appealing choice for enthusiasts and users who wish to upgrade from a point-and-shoot.	More info	The TX1's slim body and design will appeal to the fashion-conscious crowd, but some users may not like the photo quality.
