Anyone bought it?
Alan Photo and John 3:16 I believe, not sure if there are any others...

South Asia was selling it at 749, i think.
I thought dodgy was a household word over there, with the exception of a few shops.
Oh yes dodgy indeed. Even buying memory cards can possibly land you in a world full of suprises. But as usual, with the exception of a few shops.
Again, let me reiterate again to all loving electronic good shoppers to do your homework first. Cheers!
PS: I forgot to mention that Alan Photo quoted me S$730 for the TX1.

It would seem that on the whole the owner of the newly bought TX1 is enthusiastic. In the absence of any other detailed review, I am tending towards getting one - even if he says he is proud to be a beta-tester
- but not from those notorious traders at Sim Lim ;(

but got a big let down when i went back to check the stills and video i shot. i won't go into the stills as they were shot on auto mode with auto iso in the brightly lit shop with flash on.
what disappoint me badly was the TX1 couldn't hold focus for video when i did a slow pan from left to right and there was no interference (ie, people walking across the lens etc).

the video quality is very good. its HD. the colour is natural but a bit oversaturated. the only problem is the focus hold. it loses focus easily.
the stills imho isn't as good as those from ixus digicam.
bring a sdcard along and shoot some stills and video and see for yourself.

actually i am not too sure about how much video you can get but with a 512mb test card set to 4:3 video at 640x480 30fps showed about 1hr of duration available on the screen.
btw, the video file extension is avi which is strange as HD should be m2t. they also save a thm file by default.
i tried both 4:3 and 16:9 formats and all video files were avi. i guess its not true hi-definition but i am only guessing.
maybe the focusing performs better outdoor but you don't find camcorders focus running during a slow pan....even indoors. damn wasted. really love this cool unit.
