Anyone used one of these Canon SX1?s they have the EOS CMOS sensor, 1080 video, stereo mics, 20x zoom. No mic port though like the 5D SLR, but If I was in the field I might want one of these and solar powered AA battery charger and I'm good to go for months for stills and video??? http://www.steves-digicams.com/2009_reviews/canon_sx1_conclusion.html
Also, their predecessor, the SX10IS with "only" 640 video is price dropping like a stone to about $350: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G5ZTZO/ref=s9_simz_gw_s0_p114_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0CNZKEXGAXKHN9JH4VZP&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Caleb Clark ~ Wk: http://gradcenter.marlboro.edu/academics/mat/faculty ~ Hm: http://www.plocktau.com ~ "The problem with communication is the assumption it has been accomplished." - G.
