My everyday camera is the unusual hybrid Canon TX1. It's a cigarette-pack-sized camera that has a 10x optical zoom lens, takes hi-def video(1280x720) with stereo sound, and can be used as a stereo (16-bit/44.1) audio-only recorder with surprisingly good fidelity from the built-in microphones (the mics are behind those little holes on the back of the flip-out LCD)
Unfortunately, Canon seems to have abandoned the hybrid design; there was no TX1 replacement in their 2009 lineup. Maybe it was robbing sales from their more expensive video-only cameras. Anyway, it's a wonderfully tiny camera with excellent capabilities. I paid $325 for mine last summer. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 41x979ls94L._SL500_AA280_.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7084| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60696 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
