At first glance, the mystery of how they got all that functionality into that really small camera space. Canon developed the PowerShot TX1 camera for people who wants and appreciate its great new technological advances in both still and movie digital imaging and developed one, very compact, powerful, easy to use camera that provides high-resolution still images and (high definition) movie capabilities as well, Canon PowerShot TX1 digital cameraAs an added benefit of the DIGIC III image processor's more aggressive noise reduction, the PowerShot TX1 digital camera can shoot at ISO equivalent speed ratings from 80 to as high as 1600.
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.

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.
