Canon PowerShot TX1
I’ve already posted a small review of my new digital camera – recorded last night, hours after it arrived on my doorstep. It’s definitely not perfect, but I’m learning to appreciate its quirks as much as its features. The TX1 is small enough to fit into my pocket, has a swivel screen for angle flexibility, and produces HD video results that are astounding (all things considered).
Even Ponzi couldn’t believe the quality of a short-form video when I played it back on one of my 30″ monitors. I shot a few seconds of test footage minutes after rolling out of bed, and you could see darn near every imperfection in my face (including bed lines). The world simply isn’t ready for this level of detail.
In short, I’m officially putting my Canon PowerShot SD700 IS and Canon PowerShot S2 IS digital cameras on the market. I’ll have to do some research on eBay for fair rates, but consider this announcement an initiation of a loosely organized silent auction. Want to see a (and hear) a bit more about these PowerShots?

I use a pair of Nikon Dslr’s an 18 month old D50 and D80 both of these are great Cameras. If I don’t want to haul this big boys around I will take either my Nikon Coolpix 5400 or 5700 and for short video clips an old Fuji F700 which will do 640×480 40fps video. All of these camera can shoot RAW or JPG. The Dslr’s are real fast no shutter lag where the coolpix’s take great pictures but real slow – need to plan your shots carefully. The fuji is very small and does a good job.
