TX1 Samples

Oh yeah, that one too. Ok, 3 now. But Canon should have lots of video on their website since they are touting the great HD quality of the TX1. Unless the quality isn't so great.
So why is no one showing it's video capabilities, other than those
famous 2 video examples?
There's one more "famous" video sample--I like to call it the "Ken
Rockwell video" since he's in the video. The video was taken
during PMA and demonstrates the TX1's low light capabilities (or
lack thereof). Here's a link to the video:

Didn't you say that you work for Canon? Tell them to get their act together and post some videos! LOL
 
I always try to tell them what to do. I am just not that far up the food chain. They never listen to me. But I think they do listen to dpreview quite a bit.

I expected better than this with current processing. The sensor
must not be very good.
I agree that the ISO 200+ photos are not that good. The lower ISO photos are nice though with the typical Canon color and smoothness.
I think this is going to be a killer for some and force users to go
with a TZ3 instead despite it not having optical or zoom in movie
mode and being much larger (the TZ3 is about 50% larger by volume
than the TX1--229cc's versus 155cc).
I haven't looked at the TZ3 photos yet, but if the TZ3 is anything like other Panasonic cameras it will be noisy at anything above ISO 80. I don't think that users will buy the TZ3 over the TX1 because of image quality issues. Users that choose the TZ3 will probably do so primarily for the 28mm wide angle. It's too bad that the TX1 starts out at 39mm.
 
I think HD videos is kind of stupid considering you can only take a few minutes of it on most cards. Even with a 4GB SDHC, You get like an hour, and then your done for photos.
