Canon PowerShot TX-1 7.1MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
I bought this camera for the simple reason that it was so small and can capture video to flash memory. The packaging is rock solid and you can tell the build quality is very good. I don't have any use for taking digital pics with this unit and the reviews are correct.. It lacks in that dept but is ok if your expectations are low. This camera takes great video but the auto focus is very slow and in most cases you have to hold the camera very still to get a good video shot. Also, if your in anything less than bright sunlight you will have noisy/grainy video. The zoom feature is also very very slow but it will reach out there. One more thing worth mentioning. If you buying this camera to upload videos to you pc like me make sure you have the horsepower to play them. The files are massive and if your trying to display on a high def monitor you might need a dedicated video card with min 256MB ram.
I had to send this back only because when I saw the quality of the video it could take in bright sunlight then compared it to what I got in the house with a few lights on I was really disapointed. I'm going to pay the extra cash and try the new Sony...
