High-end point-and-shoots such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 and Canon PowerShot G10 have been doing well in our charts and continue to do so, suggesting a strong demand for such cameras. In terms of rugged shoters, Olympus' Mju Tough-8000 seems to be doing better than other hardy snappers such as the Canon PowerShot D10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 in terms of sales figures gathered from the vendors. Overall, mainstream compact cameras from major brands, including Panasonic, Sony, Canon and Fujifilm, continue to be popular among consumers.

Note: Results are based on readership and polls conducted with selected retailers (Alan Photo Trading, Cathay Photo Store and MS Color Service) in Singapore.

	1.	Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3       CNET Asia rating: 8 out of 10 The good: High-resolution multi aspect ratio image capture; F2.0 optics; highly customizable modes which can be saved; large sensor delivers impressive image quality. The bad: Unable to capture full-resolution images in 16:9 format; use of lens cap may be an issue to some; bundled RAW image-processing software not up to the job. The bottom line: The LX3 is a good camera with an excellent feature set that positions it way beyond any conventional point-and-shoot on the retail shelves today. Review | See full specs | Rate this
	2.	Canon PowerShot G10       CNET Asia rating: 7.6 out of 10 The good: Easily accessible settings on top deck; 28mm wide-angle lens; natural-looking colors in photographs; speedy performance. The bad: Heavy and a tad bulky; no major improvements to feature set from G9. The bottom line: 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. Review | See full specs | Rate this
	3.	Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7   First take Panasonic was on a roll at the recent Photo Marketing Association (PMA) tradeshow held in Las Vegas, with its announcement of 11 cameras.

One of the more sought-after shooter was the Lumix DMC-TZ7 megazoom shooter, the successor to the popular TZ15. Panasonic claimed that this shooter is the world's smallest point-and-shoot with 12x optical zoom, so we find out how many features can the company pack in the snapper's petite chassis.
