Tom’s Hardware have just compared the 8 megapixel Canon PowerShot Pro1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F828 digital cameras.

“As our results show, the Sony DSC-F828 and Canon Pro 1 are not ideal cameras for professional applications due to their slowness. It is interesting, however, that they can deliver A4 images at 300dpi, a standard that has typically been the domain of printed media. So who are these 8-million pixel high-end digicams really designed for? The answer is: informed amateurs (or prosumers, as they are now called). Serious professionals could also be interested in these for specific uses that are not related to photojournalism, where the SLR reigns supreme.”
