Powershot PRO 1 Description

The PowerShot Pro1 is the new flagship of Canon's PowerShot line-up, destined to be a leader in the compact digital camera class - the camera has an extraordinary 8 Megapixels of imaging power, a superb Canon L-series 7x zoom lens, and a host of professional-level capabilities. Yet with all it's advanced technology, the Pro1 retains the ease of use that PowerShot cameras are famous for.

PowerShot Advances to a New Level of Performance - PowerShot Pro1 was created to lead not only the PowerShot line, but the entire compact digital camera class-and it succeeds brilliantly. The camera's superiority starts with the lens: an exceptionally bright, genuine Canon L Lens with a powerful 7x zoom. Canon L-series lenses are the first choice of professional photographers the world over for their manufacturing precision, state-of-the-art features and ultra-durable construction. An 8-megapixel CCD captures a wealth of detail, imbuing your photography with a truly lifelike vibrancy and ensuring that even your largest prints will faithfully and dynamically render your photographic vision. Canon's exclusive Digic Imaging Processor, an industry benchmark, maximizes the camera's extraordinary pixel count. The camera also employs Canon's own iSAPS Technology, developed from more than 60 years of photographic experience. Added to these critical elements are a host of high-performance capabilities that offer advanced amateurs a new level of flexibility: an extensive array of shooting modes and functions, intelligent automatic systems, and sophisticated manual controls.
