Sx1 Is
Can Canon SX1 IS have the normal VGA video recording is not recording HD?

If I do HD recording be played on the TV when the camera is connected to it? What cable should I use?

The SX1 IS records movies in the following resolutions … 1920×1080 (HD) @ 30fps (2GB = approx. 6-minute video) @ 640×480 (VGA) at 30 fps (2GB = approx. 22 minutes of video) 320×240 @ 30/60fps (2GB = approx. 1h 4min video) When the quality of HD video recording, you can watch your movies directly on an HDTV. Simply connect the camera to the TV using an HDMI cable. Canon recommended cable (HTC 100), but will probably be able to use any HDMI cable has always compatible accessories (probably a mini-HDMI cable HDMI).
