It has been described as the most expensive ultra zoom (10–12×) camera on the market. However, its combination of features make it an exceptional ultra zoom. It is relatively small (cm to in|8.9|abbr=yes| wiki=yes × cm to in|6|abbr=yes × cm to in|2.9|abbr=yes) and as a hybrid camera it includes a combination of features that is a fairly revolutionary for digital photography.cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canontx1/|accessdate=2007-11-08|title= Canon PowerShot TX1 Concise Review|year=2007|month=June|publisher=Digital Photography Review|author=Johnson, Simon] Although most digital cameras now offer both still image and video capabilities, few offer advanced levels of both such as ultra zoom and HDTV. This is Canon's first attempt at such a hybrid. The combination has not been highly regarded by reviewers and editors, but users are highly satisfied with the combination.
