Canon PowerShot Pro 1Popular Photography have reviewed the latest crop of 8 megapixel digital cameras, including the Canon PowerShot Pro1 (pictured).

“So what’s not to like? A number of things, actually. The major two are lens limitation and viewfinder clarity. As good as it may be, the lens you get is all the lens you get, save for a few front-mounting auxiliary optics (see chart for details). And even the best EVFs show some grain and jumpiness, particularly compared with the crystal-clear, real-world view through an optical prism finder. (We compare the pluses and minuses of EVFs and SLRs on the next page).”
