This camera has features including a 7.1 Megapixel, 1/2.5-inch CCD, DIGIC III Image Processor, 10x optical zoom lens with a shift-type optical Image Stabilizer (IS) system and 1.8-inch vari-angle LCD monitor with wide viewing angle. It uses Battery Pack NB-4L to shoot up to approx. 160 images (based on the CIPA standard when the LCD monitor is on), and SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, MultiMediaCards and MMCplus cards for the recording media. Images are utilized with a direct print compatible printer, computer and TV via USB 2.0 Hi-Speed.

At first glance Canon's new 7.1 megapixel PowerShot TX1 digital camera looks familiar...pocket-sized, stainless steel case with textured accents and enough cutting-edge photo technology to make one wonder how they got all that functionality into that deck of playing cards-sized package. Indeed, this compact camera fits in just as well at a football game or a family function; in a small evening bag for a night on the town, or the pocket of a dress shirt, and is as much at home on a business trip as it is on a hard-earned weekend getaway.

At second glance, the mystery of how they got all that functionality into that really small space deepens. Augmented by a simple press of the power button - this digital camera comes alive and the family resemblance to not one, but many of Canon's crowning camera achievements becomes immediately apparent...a stainless-steel barrier on the camera's leading-edge slides away to unleash the PowerShot TX1 digital camera's formidable (and optically image-stabilized) 10x optical zoom lens that glides smoothly from its resting place into the open air. Unfold a simple yet securely hinged housing, and an 115,000-pixel Vari-Angle LCD screen is freed to swivel camcorder-like from the PowerShot TX1 digital camera's side.

This digital dynamo even adds a 30 fps High Definition (HD) 720p widescreen (16:9) capability to its movie mode at the press of a button. What's more, the PowerShot TX1 digital camera has easy connectivity to play its movies or high quality stills back on high-def TVs, thanks to Canon's thoughtful inclusion of a convenient component video output terminal.

"We developed the PowerShot TX1 digital camera for people who appreciate its vast technological advances in both still and movie digital imaging and developed one, very compact, very powerful, very easy to use camera that provides high-resolution still images and HD movie capabilities as well," states Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A., Inc. "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."

Salient Features for Canon Powershot TX1

A Bold New Direction
New concept ELPH-sized 7.1 Megapixel digital camera with ultra-compact Canon 10x Optical Zoom lens and proprietary Optical Image Stabilizer Technology
You really can have it all! The PowerShot TX1 is no bigger than the original Digital ELPH, yet it houses a genuine Canon 10x optical zoom lens for ultimate freedom in closing in on your shot. Thanks to Canon's exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer Technology, camera shake (and the blurry images camera shake can cause) is effectively eliminated, so even in low light and at long focal lengths, images are clear and sharp.

DIGIC III Image Processor
DIGIC III Image Processor with improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction for sharper images and improved functionality
With DIGIC III, you get images of superior quality, the camera functions at top efficiency and battery life is significantly enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's newly improved Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. Simply press the Shutter Button halfway down, and the PowerShot TX1 automatically pinpoints the faces in the scene and chooses the ideal focus point. To keep every face looking bright and natural - without scary red eyes - the camera controls exposure settings and flash, so every shot is just what you were shooting for.

DIGIC III features Face Detection AF/AE, which finds multiple faces in the frame and sets the most suitable focus point, when the shutter button is pressed halfway. And an additional new feature, Face Detection FE adjusts the flash, based on a person's face on the screen. Exposure and flash are controlled to ensure proper illumination of both the faces and the overall scene, eliminating the common problem of darkened or overexposed faces.

Red-Eye Correction detects and automatically corrects red-eye during playback for both regular and flash photography. In unusual cases where red-eye is not automatically detected, it can easily be corrected manually during playback mode.

iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC III Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

Full Movie capabilities
Enjoy the unprecedented clarity of 1280 x 720 HD movies at 30 fps with Face Detection, stereo sound and 1080i component video playback
The PowerShot TX1 is a powerful, highly advanced tool for recording movies. You'll experience the unprecedented HD clarity of 720P recording at 30 fps. The camera's Face Detection AF feature for still images is also available in movie mode: faces are detected and properly focused for a measurable improvement in movie quality. Sound is recorded in stereo, and 1080i component video playback is available for a true HD experience.

With 14 Shooting Modes including 7 Special Scene Modes, you're ready for whatever shot comes your way.

Canon Innovation Enhances Your Experience
Sensitivity range expanded to ISO 1600 for sharper photos in low light, with ISO Auto Shift for the right sensitivity in any situation
The PowerShot TX1 features ISO 1600 with ISO Auto Shift that increases the ISO sensitivity to where camera shake does not occur. Then camera shake can prevented and the ISO speed setting changes each time, automatically.

As Durable as it is Beautiful
Elegant all-metal construction with built-in lens cap for enhanced durability
When you own a camera as compact as the TX1, you'll want to take it everywhere. This camera is up to the challenge with high-grade all-metal construction.
