Designed as a versatile high-resolution digital camera that merges shooting options found only on digital SLRs, Pro1 was declared Canon’s top-of-the-line PowerShot digital camera in 2004. With the thought of versatility, Canon PowerShot Pro1 is light weight and has a good hand grip that is rubber laden. It gives clean image and quality image processing. It also uses a high-resolution electronic viewfinder that offers a high resolution live view identical to its LCD display feed. It carries a lithium battery pack which is placed at the base of the hand grip together with a compatible compact flash memory card. The compact flash memory card store still images and movie files.
One of the Canon PowerShot Pro1’s features is its movie mode that users can use to capture movies with sound both in high-resolution (640x480) and lower resolutions (either 320x240 or 160x120) up to a span of three minutes. Users will also be able to annotate still images with sound at a maximum duration of 60 seconds.
But what makes the Canon PowerShot Pro1 different than other digital cameras is its lens. It is said to be the first Canon digital camera to have its lens labeled as an “L-series.” The term is usually associated with Canon’s line of professional SLR lenses. The label was given to emphasize the lens’ quality of the Canon PowerShot Pro1 which is a combination of ultra-low dispersion (UD) and fluorite lens elements plus an Ultrasonic motor for zoom. The Ultrasonic L-series lens’ zoom range is 28-200mm and a maximum aperture of F2.4-F3.5.
