The PowerShot TX1 ($499) represents somewhat of a departure for Canon. It's really their first true hybrid product, offering both advanced still and video recording capabilities in one camera. It's also a bit of a gamble, for two reasons. First, it's expensive -- nearly $200 more than the PowerShot S3 IS. Also, similar hybrids such as the Sony Cyber-shot M-series and Pentax MX4 were less than successful.
