Canon PowerShot TX1 7.1MP 10x Zoom Digital Camera
Canon USA has announced the Canon PowerShot TX1 digital camera that features a 7.1MP sensor (1/2.5 ” Type CCD), 10x optical zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilization, and 1.8-inch Vari-Angle LCD screen. The new camera also incorporates a 30 fps High Definition (HD) 720p widescreen (16:9) movie mode and recording CD quality Stereo Sound in 44 KHz. According to Canon, “the PowerShot TX1 digital camera is the fulfillment of Canon’s innovative thinking and vision that mixes the best of photography and video features like never before”.
The PowerShot TX1 allows users to shoot home movies while recording CD quality Stereo Sound, in 44 KHz. In fact, users can take full advantage of the 10x optical zoom lens and image stabilization while shooting movies. A rare feature in most digital cameras.
The “brain” of this new PowerShot camera is DIGIC III image processor. The DIGIC III image processor accounts for the camera’s higher performance levels including faster start up, autofocus and shutter response times, improved image quality and more efficient power consumption; resulting in extended battery life.
An added benefit of the DIGIC III image processor’s more aggressive noise reduction is the ability to shoot at ISO equivalent speed ratings from 80 to as high as 1600. This increased sensitivity at the top-end allows users to select faster shutter speeds, adding additional stability and reducing the danger of camera shake and subject blur during hand held, low-light photography.
Canon’s new Face Detection AF/AE/FE function can detect, lock on, and track multiple human faces in a scene. The face detection algorithm automatically prioritizes and selects faces (based on Canon’s Intelligent Scene Analysis/iSAPS technology). It will then optimize the focus, exposure and flash to help ensure the best possible photos.
The PowerShot TX1 digital camera comes equipped with 14 shooting modes allowing for a myriad of different photo preferences and conditions including Automatic, Camera Manual, Super Macro for close-up work, Color Accent, Color Swap, Stitch-Assist, Movie (including HD), and seven Special Scene Modes: Portrait, Night Snapshot, Indoor, Foliage, Snow, Beach and Aquarium.
The PowerShot TX1 camera accommodates standard SD memory cards and the new, high-capacity SDHC memory cards as well as MultiMedia and MMCplus cards. The camera kit includes a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery and battery charger, a 32MB MMC plus memory card, a USB interface cable, stereo AV cable for audio/video output, and a component video cable for connecting to High Definition TVs.
The dimensions of the PowerShot TX1 are 3.5 x 2.4 x 1.1 in (89 x 60 x 29 mm).
