From Steves-digicams.com 2001 awards:
"Three-Megapixel
The Olympus C-3040 Zoom is the winner in the 3-megapixel consumer category. Olympus has continued to improve their digicam line based around their hugely popular C-2000 camera. It closely resembles a conventional 35mm rangefinder type camera both in looks and operation. The latest C-3040 model has a fast F1.8 3x zoom lens and a full compliment of exposure and metering modes. Olympus' compact digital cameras consistently deliver well-saturated and properly exposed color images. The C-3040 is perfect choice whether you want an automatic point-n-shoot or a fully-featured camera.
The second runner up is the Nikon Coolpix 995
The third runner up is the Minolta DiMAGE S304
