Canon PowerShot Pro 1Steves Digicams have published a First Look at the 8 megapixel Canon PowerShot Pro1, which was announced by Canon just before the start of the PMA 2004 trade show.

“The Pro1 features the first Canon L-series lens ever incorporated into a compact digital camera. It’s a 28-200mm (35mm format equivalent) f/2.4-3.5, 7x optical zoom constructed of 14 elements with two aspherical elements, two UD-glass elements and one Fluorite crystal element. The addition of Fluorite crystal and UD glass to the lens construction reduces the level of anomalous dispersion (chromatic aberration) compared to conventional optical glass, while the aspherical elements correct spherical aberration and allow the overall size and weight of the lens to be reduced.”
