Product name	Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7	Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1	Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1	Olympus E-P2
Editors' ratings (How we rate)	7.4 Very good	8 Excellent	7.6 Excellent	CNET Asia editor's take
Review Summary	The TZ7 is a good long zoom compact camera that frequent travelers should consider if they want decent picture quality. A pity it doesn't offer manual exposure control.	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.	More info
