Digital Camera Camcorder Combo

Canon PowerShot TX1

The Canon PowerShot TX1 does it all well

What happens when a company that’s an expert in making cameras decides to harness their know-how to make digital camera camcorder combo’s? You either get a device that doesn’t take good photos or make good videos or you get something that does both well. Take the Canon PowerShot TX1 for instance.

Image capture wise, there’s cutting edge lens technology working for anyone whose behind the lens. The Canon PowerShot TX1 features a wide-range, compact zoom lens that can zoom in up to 10x, which is about 39–390mm. The lens features a macro focusing capability of 3.9 inches to 1.6 feet with the option of going super-macro from the surface of front element. The design of the lens comprises 12 elements, including one UD and one Aspheric element. And just in case you think so much technology packed into one lens will make it quite a clunker you’re mistaken. Thanks to cutting-edge optical and mechanical technologies the lens is ultra-compact despite being ultra feature loaded.

If you’re getting the digital camera camcorder combo, an Image Stabilization feature is a must. The Canon PowerShot TX1 features Canon optical Image Stabilization system that makes a shot taken from a long telephoto zoom lens nice and steady even in low light conditions. What’s more the device features up to three stops shake correction with I.S. active Image Quality.

You can be confident of taking nice photos on the Canon PowerShot TX1 as it features a brand spanking new 7.1 million pixel CCD sensor which is great for prints up to 13×19 inches. The device also provides an expanded ISO range that goes all the way up to ISO 1600 while a new Auto ISO Shift feature dynamically shifts to ensure shutter speeds are fast enough to avoid shake and blurs. With features like Selectable Aspect Ratio giving people a choice between 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios for photos as well as movies along with Auto Red Eye Correction, you know that the range for making mistakes while shooting on the Canon PowerShot TX1 is limited.
