Digit Life Reviews 8-megapixel Digital Cameras

Canon PowerShot Pro 1Technology website has published a very technical comparative review of five 8-megapixel digital cameras, including the Canon PowerShot Pro1 (pictured) (found via Digicamera.net):

“An 8Mp matrix in the zoom-lens class is a yet another step forward in digital camera evolution. Before, digital cameras with built-in lenses had lower resolution than reflex ones. Now, one will have to think twice whether to choose 6 Mp with interchangeable lens or 8 Mp with non-interchangeable zooming. It will cost you quite a sum to buy reflex lenses with such range of variable focal length (28-200 or even 35-280 mm), which are, on top of that, made for 8 Mp.”
