The eight megapixel Pro1 is Canon's flagship PowerShot digital camera. It's a prosumer model, but has it got the credentials to survive in this niche?

Canon PowerShot Pro1 Review

Just when we had hoped that manufacturers were moving on from the megapixel race we caught news of Sony's ICX456 eight megapixel CCD sensor which was leaked onto the Internet in June last year. And so at that time it wasn't difficult to predict that we would see a rash of eight megapixel digital cameras just in time for PMA 2004. Sony were first to market with their DSC-F828 which utilized a unique version of this 2/3" Type chip which instead of an RGBG color filter array had an all new RGBE color filter array (more info here). As predicted we each of the remaining 'big five' manufacturers introduce their eight megapixel digital camera at PMA; Canon PowerShot Pro1, Nikon Coolpix 8700, Olympus C-8080 Wide Zoom, Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2.

Canon packs 8-megapixel imaging in a surprisingly small and functional package.

Steve's Conclusion Welcome to 2004, the year of the 8-megapixel consumer digicam. SONY were the first to market in 2003 with their 8-megapixel 7x optical Zoom DSC-F828. Joining SONY in 2004 are the 8-megapixel 8x zoom Nikon Coolpix 8700, and the 8-megapixel 7x zoom Canon PowerShot Pro1, the subject

Canon PowerShot Pro 1

Shots taken with the test camera in bright lighting had a wide dynamic range plus accurate colours. Pictures taken in normal lighting were clean, but noise was evident in low-light shots at ISO 200 and over. Coloured fringing was negligible in backlit shots. Shutter lag averaged 0.8 seconds when focusing was involved and 0.4 seconds with pre-focusing.
