The Canon Powershot Tx1 may be more of a digital camera than a camcorder, but indeed, this hybrid camera has some outstanding features including small size and HD recording. Yes, good things do come in small packages.
Standout features for the Canon Powershot Tx1 include a 7.1 megapixel sensor, 10x optical zoom with 4x digital zoom and optical image stabilization. Film 1280 x 720 HD movies at 30 fps, which approaches 35mm film quality. The Canon Powershot Tx1 supports 16:9 aspect ration for full HD quality and includes a composite cable so you can plug the camcorder into your HDTV, no accessories required.
What’s missing in the Canon Powershot Tx1 Flash camcorder? According to experts and users alike, the LCD screen is too small and its configuration slows filming start-up time. Users would like to see an optical viewfinder and longer battery life.
If you’re looking for high resolution in a small package, the Canon Powershot Tx1 may be the one. And, you’ll get a PowerShot Digital ELPH in the bargain: You ask for a lot and Canon delivers.

After testing the Canon TX-1, this has been my experience:PHOTO QUALITY: Excellent. Canon wisely uses in-camera noise reduction (blurring) lightly and preserves sharp detail. On close magnification, single pixel detail is present, which the Panasonic...

No, this will not look as good as a good 3-CCD palmcorder, but better than some, and it is smaller than any...I'm still not used to all of the locations of usefull settings, and being good at adjusting them quickly with one hand will take some time, but...

Using LP mode 1280X720 gives around 55 minutes, so that is not really that bad...A top quality HD camcorder with a good camera built in...I recommend this camera to anyone......
