Canon Powershot SX1 IS Details
Editors' Comments
[Read our full Canon SX1 review] The Canon SX1 impresses with its full 1080p video mode, putting it head and shoulders above similar "bridge" cameras. Consumers, however, should carefully consider whether that's enough to make them pick the SX1 over the similar SX10 IS. The Canon SX1 IS bears a striking resemblance to the Canon SX10 IS, except it offers full HD video. It has a 20x optical zoom lens, 10 megapixel sensor, and is capable of shooting video in Full HD (H.264) for a maximum of 60 minutes. It improves upon the SX10 IS by including an HDMI output for viewing those videos on an HDTV.
