Newsmeldung von slashCAM:Canon brings HD 720p-Cam for $
500 - PowerShot TX1 of rudi - 23 Feb 2007 12:00:00 Under the name of Canon PowerShot TX1 will now have a Photo-Video-hybrids, the 720p video (1280 x 720 with up to 30 FPS) can record. The videos then to land on MMC, MMCplus, SD or SDHC cards, but still no information about the recording format. In the info is, however, mention that a maximum of 13 minutes at a maximum of 4 GB Filesize can be recorded, which is about a data rate of 5MB / s.. For AVCHD / MP4 is clearly too much for MPEG2 also still a bit too high, but for Mjpeg rather too little. Wait and see, then.
It is with 39mm Lens (KB) weitwinkeling not exactly, but somewhat better than many recent entrants HDV devices. Behind the 10x zoom lens sits favor 1 / 2 ,5-inch image converter, which is in photo mode on 7MPixel (3,072 x 2.304 pixels) brings. The small 1.8 inch display, unfortunately, has only a mere 115,000 pixels and Resolutionvon there is no optical viewfinders. Nice to see that the built DIGIC III Image Processor obviously synonymous HD video masters. This is synonymous to suggest that other Canon models this option in the future also will offer to you. How was the synonymous, a German price is still just as little known as a delivery date, but at a list price of $ 500, the device is certainly a favorite. Finally, this is the cheapest HD cam all time.

Update:
It captures real as AVI files with Motion JPEG and WAVE audio. Perhaps even with 4:2:2. Let's see if it is a good enough quality ...
Antwort von boessu:
The quality is compared with other flash cameras, probably more than sufficient. 4 GB for 13 minutes of HD or 30 minutes for 640 / 480 30fps is quite generous for such a small camera and there is probably the Lens before limply. With a real video camera can be fun thing anyway do not compare.
The problem is probably much more, that it eats memory like sow. Most are probably one or the other 1 GB SD Card 'are lying. The same can actually remember, because it is a best 3 minutes HD space on it or just 7-8 minutes 640 / 480. So is the movie-feature at 1 GByte then but more of a gimmick. Comparison to the MP4-Cam's, which (in the best quality for MP4) an hour to get 1 GB.
More than 4 GB to get at the moment is a bit difficult. So, overall, had the camera next to the MJPEG alternatively synonymous nor Mpeg 4 to offer, they verily would be the ultimate thing. So to speak, the notebook for filmmakers. But it is their time (unfortunately) a little ahead, at least what the movie feature is concerned. Shame ....

Looks much better than the MP4 files of the Sanyo HD2, right?

Hello,
knows someone who 8GB card in the Canon PowerShot TX1 for reliable recording of movies work? I had an "Integral 8GB SDHC Class 6" tested, but it was too slow, because there were just some clips of 25s longer possible. Supposedly the work of Kingston, but how is it with SanDisk?
Thank you very much!

That should actually s.sich part of the 'wet dream' of every sports film. So requests for usable "SloMos" for Golf / Table / etc. there's often synonymous here.
30p in "HD" resolution for a sufficiently short exposure time (due to possible lower Bewegungsunschaefte) should actually super fast for 'slow motion' like motion analysis can be used.
As would be synonymous, the limited recording time not as dramatic, since only individual sequences filmed (eg golf swing, or individual actions when his tennis game).
In any case a lot better than the standard 50i in PAL resolution.
Antwort von usul:
In any case a lot better than the standard 50i in PAL resolution. How do you react? 50i deinterlaced to 50 frames per second and so much more pictures, what kind of slow motion is certainly useful. Clearly something is missing line resolution, which is expected for most things but rather uncritically, as in slow motion is probably about to detect motion and not work out the finest details.
If the PAL resolution is not enough, then stop AVCHD or HDV.
Price is the thing interesting, but if on a 4GB card only 12 minutes of HD video fit, then the scope is quite limited.
Antwort von Daigoro:

How do you react? Because I already worked with both .. I mean 'gehobbiet';) did and, of course, with modest MJPG material (320x240/30fps) much more convincing results achieved, as with deinterlacetem 50i source material.
Good, depending on application area and the equipment should be used as synonymous variations, but basically I would go a long 25/30p MJPG good quality source material they want.
A codec with inter-frame compression, as otherwise he gladly used for a divorce application actually consists of.

Canon Australia at this address ...

... you can download the entire manual. At the end of the Advanced Camera User Guide "you'll find a table where all the manual setting possibilities are listed. Then can focus, exposure and white balance (and more) at the request synonymous with movie freeze.
I have my TX1 has only a few days and am - as I said - still looking for a 8GB card (my "Integral", I immediately returned), so I could not do anything to try. What I could try, however, totally convinced me! I'm very satisfied with my eBay-Hong-Kong-Purchase!

Hello Guest,
synonymous'm on about, I am a camera on the Hong Kong market to get. How is it with the menu language? The cameras to be sold over there, only with Japanese and English menu equipped. Is this hardware or software related? Is it possible, then a German version aufzuspielen?
Have you heard of the Kingston SDHC tried? The aim 6MB/sek. records can be.
Antwort von Jan:
The question is really whether the camera records 13 minutes in a 4 GB or more.
At Canon digicams is on display at the 640x480/30/s & 1024x768/15/B/s (900 Ti) 8 min, but actually fit about 11 minutes on it.
If I calculate it should be actually a Class 6 card range, Panasonic has to so what. A normal Sandisk really should not be enough, its write speed is so at about 5 MB / sec depending on the details and amounts of data, an ultra-rich actually have, although it written 10 MB / sec for small data and data with a few details which are otherwise the map is synonymous in the basement.
Extreme III would be the safe way, and card companies such as Panasonic, the 6 & 8 or MB / sec always guaranteed.

So from my Hong Kong has many languages in the menu to select German synonymous. Ask just before the purchase in the shop, I made synonymous.
I know that Kingston is working on all cases (about 14 minutes s.Stueck, synonymous when it zoomed out), but the Versandhaendler where my "Integral 8GB SDHC Class 6" card was purchased, which does not work ( apparently keeps the standard for the transfer rate does not!), has only one exchange in order to SanDisk in range. If I were on the SanDisk, but not exactly, then I will refund to me and ask others to have Kingston ordered.

Antwort von Jan:
A Class 6 is not enough, very unusual, whether the company actually complied with the data?
If we grossly times:
12 min = 4 GB
3 min = 1 GB
1 min = 330 MB
1 sec = 5.5 MB / sec minimum write speed ever, if the data is roughly correct.
The San Disk normal I would not dare to, there were a number of test results leading magazines, Stiftung Warentest, there I think about 5 MB (write) and 9.5 MB (read), the other Mags were synonymous around 5 -- 6 MB / sec in their test reports.
A Class 8 card but definitely rich ....
