[12:00 Fri,23.February 2007 by Rudi Schmidts]
The name 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. The lens is equipped with 39mm (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 resolution of 115,000 pixels and there is no optical viewfinder. Nice to see that the built DIGIC III image processor apparently also HD video masters. This also suggests that other Canon models this option in the future also will offer to you. Anyway, 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. more infos at bei www.pma-show.com
