Luminous Landscape Reviews Canon PowerShot Pro1
Luminous Landscape have reviewed the 8 megapixel Canon PowerShot Pro1, which was announced by Canon just before the start of the PMA 2004 trade show. Find out what Michael Reichmann thinks now that he has reviewed all the 8 megapixel competitors.
“The first thing that you notice when picking up the Pro1 is how small it is. If you’ve only seen it in pictures it appears much larger than it does in the “flesh”. But Canon has done a fine job on the ergonomics, and with only a few exceptions the controls are very well placed.
The body is of an all-new design, and it’s apparent - to me at least - that a lot of thought has gone into the human factors engineering.
As but one example, the button for switching between the EVF and the rear LCD is placed by itself on the left side of the camera, where the left hand can reach it. Most cameras place it somewhere on the rear panel close to a myriad of other buttons. “
