Canon PowerShot Pro1 review

[bottlenose]

I purchased this camera while I was on my trip through Japan. I felt that the camera had a good feel to it, meaning it felt like a quality product as far as construction goes. In the right hands, it can take great pictures. I found it was a little bit on the slow side, and I was not into the zoom by wire ring. At high ISO speeds, there is a ton of noise. The rotatable display was awesome!..you can set the camera up in weird positions and just rotate and angle the display so that you dont have to do hand stands or barrelrolls just to take a cool image. The evf i did like, and it comes in handy because it didnt use that much battery power, where as if you leave the screen on, it will drain the battery power much quicker. Pretty expensive for what it was worth. I ended up selling mine after about 5 months of minor usage. I'd reccomend buying a used one, because its just not worth the price for a brand new one I felt.

Problems:

Too much noise at ISO 200 and way too much at ISO 400.

Zoom by wire is pretty annoying I felt, although there was no problems physically with it.
