Product name	Canon EOS 1000D	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1	Olympus E-P2
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.2 Very good	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent	7.8 Excellent
Review Summary	The EOS 1000D may be a good camera for beginners, but they'll soon crave other useful features such as spot-metering and high ISO sensitivity that this shooter doesn't provide.	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.	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.
