Canon PowerShot TX1
Overview
With 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 new scratch-resistant,
anti-reflective coating on the LCD screen.
Features
A Bold New Direction
New concept ELPH-sized 7.1 Megapixel
digital camera with ultra-compact Canon 10X Optical Zoom lens
and proprietary Optical Image Stabilizer Technology
You really can have it all! The PowerShot TX1 is no bigger than
the original Digital ELPH, yet it houses a genuine Canon 10x
optical zoom lens for ultimate freedom in closing in on your
shot. Thanks to Canon's exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer
Technology, camera shake (and the blurry images camera shake can
cause) are effectively eliminated, so even in low light and at
long focal lengths, images are clear and sharp.
Red-Eye Correction detects and
automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular
and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not
automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually
during playback mode.
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original
scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by
Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different
photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to
improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white
balance.
Full Movie capabilities
Enjoy the unprecedented clarity of 1280 x
720 HD movies at 30 fps with Face Detection, stereo sound and
1080i component video playback
The PowerShot TX1 is a powerful, highly advanced tool for
recording movies. You'll experience the unprecedented HD clarity
of 720P recording at 30 fps. The camera's Face Detection AF
feature for still images is also available in movie mode: faces
are detected and properly focused for a measurable improvement
in movie quality. Sound is recorded in stereo, and 1080i
component video playback is available for a true HD experience.
