Abstract: Video Review: The Canon TX1 camcorder is mighty camera in a small package. While it measures in at 3.5 inches tall and a little over an inch in depth, the TX1 comes with some impressive features. For starters, it has a 10x optical zoom lens and optica...

High-quality video format gobbles memory; awkward styling; expensive.
Despite Canon’s ambition to combine the best of two worlds, the PowerShot TX1 has few compelling advantages as a camcorder or a still camera. And its high price and awkward configuration for still photography are serious drawbacks. With many hig...

On the one hand, this first attempt at a still/video hybrid is remarkable. You get a PowerShot Digital ELPH and a high definition tapeless camcorder in one small package.On the other, it isnt comfortable to hold and the LCD is miniature by todays sta...
Abstract: Despite, or perhaps because of, an impressive feature set for such a small camera, the Canon Powershot TX1 is a poor digital camera. Although the photo quality in bright light is acceptable, the TX1 falls short photographically in several areas. This ...
