Re: Canon Powershot Pro1

I bought a Pro1 as soon as they were available in 2004 and kept it until I got an XSi in 2008, at which time I sold it on ebay for $400. Can't beat that for a digital camera holding its value.

I loved that camera; it produced great photos of stationary subjects in good light. I still remember the time I tried to take a photo of a young child in a swimming pool who was moving VERY slowly in a floating support-toy. I actually laughed out loud because it was so bad; the viewfinder turned to all-black as it focused etc and by the time it took the shot the very-slowly-moving child was almost out of the frame. After many tries I got a good shot
