Canon PowerShot TX1

The Canon TX1 is an unusual hybrid digital camera optimized for video capture. It features a 10x f/3.5-5.6 optically stabilized zoom lens, a seven megapixel imager, and a Movie mode with resolutions up to 1,280 x 720 pixels and frame-rates up to 60 frames per second in QVGA resolution. Other resolutions are limited to 30 fps video, and surprisingly for a camera aimed at video capabilities, Canon has selected a Motion JPEG AVI file format rather than the MPEG4 format found on most other such cameras.
