Imaging Resource Reviews Canon PowerShot Pro1
Imaging Resource have reviewed the 8 megapixel Canon PowerShot Pro1, which was announced by Canon just before the start of the PMA 2004 trade show.
“Very good image noise at ISO 50, increases steadily at higher ISOs, but very little flattening of subject detail at high ISOs. The PowerShot Pro1 delivers very clean-looking images at its minimum ISO of 50, but the noise levels increase quite steadily beyond that point. (Its noise levels more or less track those of the Sony DSC-F828 and Nikon Coolpix 8700.) For most users, noise will be negligible at ISO 50 and 100, noticeable but acceptable at ISO 200, and objectionable at ISO 400. On a positive note though, there’s relatively little loss of subtle subject detail caused by anti-noise processing, at any ISO setting.”
