Digitalcamerareview published a list of most popular digital cameras, based on the number of times info-pages were requested.
In the list, we’ll find Sony and Panasonic twice and Canon no less than six times!
Maybe even more amazing is the absense of Nikon. It makes me wonder how much this list parallels selling figures, thinking of the huge popularity of the D50, D70, D100 and their successors. There are only 2 SLR’s in the list anyway…

The Panasonic Lumix TZ1 digital camera is reviewed by Topic Point: ‘[It] is a remarkable camera in one way — it is the first truly compact 10x zoom camera. Normally, cameras with 10x zooms are nowhere near pocket sized. The TZ1, measuring 4.4×2.3×1.6 inches and weighing 8.8 ounces, is surprisingly small. Although it’s not an ultracompact, it’s small enough to fit in large pockets and small enough to fit unobtrusively in your bag on your world travels.’

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 digital camera is favorably reviewed at Imaging Resource: ‘While the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1 is an undeniably competent-even exciting-point-and-shoot digicam, we quickly came to appreciate it as something more like a rangefinder. It’s as playful and friendly as any point-and-shoot, but it can also be as serious as any high-end digicam. The Panasonic LX1 is an excellent little camera, and clearly one of the best bargains on the market in light of its resolution, color, and rich feature set. Its wide angle lens and 16:9 aspect ratio will make it an excellent landscape and vacation camera, making your photos feel like stills from a movie. Hikers should take note. With a Leica lens and a solid built, it is a strong value, and a “Dave’s Pick” to be sure. There’s really nothing else quite like it.’
