Product name	Canon PowerShot G10	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Olympus E-P2	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.6 Excellent	8 Excellent	7.8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent
Review Summary	The G10 is going to be tough competition for the Lumix and other pro-level point-and-shoots, but it boils down to the image quality which is subjective. The features have not changed much, though it should satisfy those looking for a compact shooter to complement their dSLR setup.	The GF1 is a very appealing choice for enthusiasts and users who wish to upgrade from a point-and-shoot.	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 TX1's slim body and design will appeal to the fashion-conscious crowd, but some users may not like the photo quality.
