Canon PowerShot Pro1
February 9, 2010 Canon, Digital Cameras
The Pro1 tops Canon’s PowerShot line-up of digital cameras and unsurprisingly anyone who’s used one of the company’s cameras before will immediately feel at ease with its menu layout and operation. As a user of both As mentioned earlier, the Pro1 features an 8 megapixel CCD sensor which in this case is backed up with what Canon term as iSAPS technology or “intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space”. This is basically a method of speeding up the AF, AE and Auto White Balance by analysing data that’s derived by relating the brightness of the scene and the distance between the subject and camera according to the zoom position of the lens – all quite techy stuff.
Of course my Canon G1 is a far older camera, but there are clearly some G-Series features that have been carried through to the design of the Pro1. One of the most obvious that has been retained is the flip out, rotatable LCD screen.
