Product DescriptionWith the PowerShot TX1, Canon takes a futuristic wish-list and makes it a reality. This is an ELPH-sized camera with a whopping 10x optical zoom that not only captures 7.1 Megapixel images, but HD movies, too! The stylish vertical design in stainless steel houses plenty of premium advancements including Optical Image Stabilizer Technology, DIGIC III Image Processor, Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction. And because you'll want to take this compact wonder everywhere, it's equipped with a built-in lens cover and tough, scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coating on the LCD screen.
What Others Say
quite impressive
Video quality is awesome in daylight. It is not that good in low light conditions, but 1- it is quite normal, 2- you cannot expect such a compact cam to behave like a $10,000 one.
One thing I dislike is that you cannot have 2 different image ratio settings for pictures and videos at the same time. Meaning once you switch to 16/9 you also shoot pictures in this mode.
Good compromise, but too many sacrifices for me.
Okay so I bought this camera because I wanted something with the powerful zoom and image-stabilization of my S3 IS, but also portability and convenience of my Powershot SD 1000. I was hoping that Canon's TX 1 would fill that need perfectly, but for reasons I am about to stipulate, it did not, and I find myself carrying the other two 90 percent of the time. It's not that this camera isn't good - in fact, had I purchased this before either of the other two I would probably swear it was the greatest miracle on the face of the earth, but I have already used the other two cameras and when I use the TX 1 I find myself wishing that I had one of the others.
Great Pictures and Video.
For the price and size this camera really can't be beat. The still camera images are crystal clear and the 720p video is great for the price. Add on top of that that the camera is small enough to fit in your pocket and you whave a winning combination. I take this camera with me everywhere and use it all the time, and if was any larger I probably wouldn't... but it is perfect for the on the go amatuer.
Excellent for families and vacations
Took this mighty mite on its 1st trip to Mexico. We were able to capture all the important shots because of the compact size. I was able to put it in my pocket or around my neck and shoot away. My girl just loved the shots and the video I took was excellent. The entire family after seeing the pictures and the video could not believe this tiny camera performed such a wonderful job!
