Leave a comment if there's a question you'd like added. I reckon I have the answers to most of the above, I just have to get cracking writing them! There is a bunch of really helpful information coming out about the TX1 in the Canon Talk forum over at DPreview, so check that out if you're itching to find out more about the TX1.

Matt,....this FAQ will be a great addition to your blog. Your blog is quickly becoming the "go to" site for TX1 information.
Where exactly is the shutter button for still photos located? Just wondering because I'm always on the lookout for cameras that can be held flat in your hands at waist level.
If you take a look at the photo at the top of the home page, you'll see on the top of the camera, right hand side toward the front of the body there is an indented looking bit, that's where the stills shutter is. You can easily cradle the camera vertically in your right hand with your thumb resting on the shutter release. Cheers, Matt

You really know? Thanks in advance!
"..on the top of the camera, right hand side toward the front of the body there is an indented looking bit, that's where the stills shutter is."
Ok thanks! It's not as intelligent as the Contax U4R or the Nikon S4/S10, but I guess it would work. Waist level shooting is perfect for street photography and the cam is almost hidden in your palms.
