Canon PowerShot TX1 Review at DCRP
DCRP has a review of the Canon PowerShot TX1 and writes, “The feature that is both the most exciting and the most disappointing on the PowerShot TX1 is its movie mode. First, the good news. You can record video at 720p — that’s 1280 x 720 @ 30 frames/second — with high quality stereo sound, an optional wind filter, and the use of both the optical zoom and the image stabilizer. The movies recorded at this setting look spectacular — easily the best of any digital camera on the market. And now, the bad news. Since Canon uses an inefficient video codec, you can only record 14 minutes of continuous 720p video — as that’s when you hit the 4GB file size limit. Free space on your memory card disappears at a whopping 4.4 MB/sec in 720p mode, which means not only means do you need a huge memory card for recording video, but also that you’ll need to downsize and recompress the videos for sharing with others. There are other resolutions available, including a “long play” 720p mode, which will allow for longer movies.”
