Canon PowerShot Pro 1

there are 10d and pro1 in my pocket

10d is using for the very time, however pro1 for the back-up

it is a very good machine. all in one and compact, nice for taking away anywhere, even i seldom use it before the firmware announanced

1) $$$

2) 420ex is a must(luckilyi own it before)

3) extra battery is a must too(luckily too...)

1. stunning picture quality- ultra-sharp pic and accurate color reproduction that are not achievable with other compact DCs. power of "L" lens?

2. built-in flash with reasonable strength

3. very good and accurate auto white balance

4. good look

5. compact, but "heavy" enough to hold and allow shooting at low shutter speed.

6. almost a full range zoom, importantly with a wide angle at 28mm

7. good distortion management at wide angle

8. backlit to see the status in darkness

9. ultra-portable, and all-in-one design

10. long battery life, at least 200+ shoot with flash.

11. accurate AE system

1. slow USB transfer.... wonder why a top class DC is lacking a 1394 or USB2..

2. slow foucs, can't feel the freedom with USM as in SLRs..

3. terribly slow, imprecise, poor focus in dim light...

4. non-user friendly manual focus function

5. sometimes with dark corners in tele end zoom

6. though come with "L" lens, it's non-dust proof. indeed dust/ sand could easily get trapped in the lens...

7. too many noise at ISO400, marginally accepatble in ISO200

8. no image stablizing function

9. no simultaneous JPEG+RAW

10. no mechanical zoom, strange feeling with the mecho-electric zoom...

11. funny designed filter adaptor?! i think most users attach at least a protector filter to protect the precious lens from dust... but it's so funny that dust/ sand can get in touch with the lens though the holes of adaptor!

1) L 鏡 解像度高, 成像佳

2) 28-200 MM 可以一機走天涯

3)機身紮實

4)UPDATE FIRMWARE1.0.1.0 後AF表現和ZOOM RING反應有極大改善

5) 最大光圈F2.4-F3.5 夠用

如要和DSLR作比較

1)有夜盲問題, 光線暗時難以AF對焦

2)連拍只可用內閃

3)連拍(HIGH SPD 2.5FPS)時EVF無野睇

4)機身沒有對焦?

5)接上外閃(580EX 550EX, 420EX ETTL)不能用外閃對焦?

6)NOISE較高

7)機身,手把位超細, 放唔到尾指

8)無原裝直度可加

9)FILTER安裝方法多餘

10)鏡頭伸長時, 用內閃會造成黑影

11)最細光圈=F8.0, 唔夠



但以DC的標準來說, PS PRO1都是DC中的極品

想解決問題, 換20D+小小白 啦XDDDD

-體積輕巧

-功能算專業

-"L"鏡名不虛傳

-UPDATE FIRMWARE 後對焦的速度算OK

-電池好耐用

-細機一部但拍得住入門級 DSLR, 差不多可一機走天崖了

-始終係 prosumer 級, ccd 的 noise 比較多

-manual focus 要用手指公按住先用到, 唔多就手

-LCD 睇出o黎o既效果同真係影出o黎比似乎光左o的, 所以有時以為曝光正常的相實際係 under 左

-加 filter o既安排好低能

test it for 3 days, updated the firmware

~ 28-200

~ evf

~ compact and nice look

~ well balanced weight, well position of buttons

~ accurate focus

~ acclerated focus after upgraded firmware

~ very good image quality

~ battery long lasting

~ flash.... the shadow of lens in wide angle....

~ skin tone a bit yellower

~ dark corner

影象清晰

手感唔錯

加filter後用廣角時有暗角

支鏡好似會入塵

對焦慢
