Cliffs:

  • $500. Let me repeat: $500 American Dollars!
  • 720P Video recording
  • 7.1 Megapixel still camera
  • Image stabilization
  • 10x optical zoom

I think I’m in love

The TI OMAP 3430, which I assume is going to be what the next version of the N93 will contain, only supports video recording at 720×480. I’m going to let reality set in here and state that I have a 12 inch laptop that only does 1024×768.

But think of the bragging rights from having 720P recording in your pocket!

    It does look nice, but I’m waiting on their HV20 — 1080p / 24p frame rate. A bit larger, but this is professional caliber for about 1000 bucks!

    I was thinking about upgrading my camera. and this beauty looks damn good!

    I just bought an HV10 . . . oh well, I’m not too worried, it is much better spec’d then the TX1. However, I do think that the TX1 is drop dead gorgeous!!!

    10x optical zoom for a compact camera is freaking awesome! O.o

    Although, 7.1MP is a bit dissappointing. Why not 8.1? 7.2 at least?? 7.1 is a weird resolution just like how 5.0 is a weird resolution. :/ 5.1 and 7.2 sounds more common.

    Has anybody seen any software that will unlock a Motorola mobile phone without cables?
    Heard a rumour of some software called ‘Mototools 6′ that will unlock without cables.
    Anybody used this software, does it exist?
    Sorry if posting in wrong section, new to this. Thanks in advance for any help.

    10x optical is not new in compacts, the Panasonic TZ1 has been around for over a year and can be bought for about $250/£140 now. And it’s smaller than the TX1 (anyone notice the similar name, think canon is trying to cash in on the TZ1 popularity from mis-typings in google?). And 7.1 is the perfect resolution for a compact, anymore, even up to 8mp causes too much noise and degrades image quality. 10mp compacts are useless because of this (look at the shitty images out of the Canon G7 compared in the 7.1 G6 or S70). If this cam was 10mp I wouldn’t buy it, thats for sure.
