View Original ArticleSun, 07 Jun 2009 23:32:14 GMT The average compact point-and-shoot camera has a 3x or 4x zoom lens in it. Anyone who's ever tried with one of these cameras to get in closer to a player on the field at a sporting event or snap off a shot of a bird without scaring it away knows that short range doesn't cut it.

Video
Video clips recorded with the Canon PowerShot TX1 Digital Camera can be played back on regular or widescreen TV sets, with the supplied component cable supporting 1080i (high definition) video on compatible widescreen TVs.

You can record video at 720p that's 1280 x 720 @ 30 frames/second with real high quality stereo sound, an optional wind filter, and the use of both the optical zoom and the image stabilizer.
Lens
Probably the most impressive feature on the Canon PowerShot TX1 is its lens. Lens totally hidden when power off The new 10x zoom lens is retracted entirely within the body when power is off, preserving the traditional Digital ELPH shape and appearance Lens Wide-range, compact zoom Entirely new 10x zoom lens — equivalent to 39–390mm ƒ3. When the camera is powered on, the lens extends maybe 3/4" out of the body and stays there -- everything else moves internally. As you might expect, you can't attach conversion lenses to the TX1 camera. Inside the lens is PowerShot TX1 optical image stabilization. Sensors inside the camera detect this motion, and one of the lens elements is shifted to compensate. Quick tip of the Canon PowerShot TX1 Digital Camera zoom controller will move the lens very precisely.
