Question Canon G6 or Pro1
All:
If you can get the Canon Powershot Pro 1 for $100 more then the G6 ($750 delivered). Do you do it or stick with the G6. I currently have the G5 and love it but I do seek a better zoom that the Pro 1 has. Suggestions everyone.. Bret |

I currently have the G5 and love it but I do seek a better zoom that the Pro 1 has. I am sticking with my G5 for another year or two. Like many, I am drawn to buying a new digital camera every time the manufacturers bring out something a step ahead but I am going to resist the temptation. Having bought my first digital in March 2004 (the G5) I am going to squeeze every penny of value out of it and rely on improved technique to get good pictures. At 5Mp the G5 allows me to print 5x7 using only the middle bit of the frame - this probably mimics a 10Mp camera on full frame. I am waiting for a large sensor, 10Mp camera with an f1.8 lens, 6x zoom, no chromatic abberation, 4 fps, 1600ISO with (a list of features the rest of us will list) to come out below 400 ukp - about 600 dollars. Then I will upgrade from the G5. John |

I use G3 the most because it is more convineince to carry around. What the use of buying camera if you use it. The question is what do you use your camera for? What features are more important to you? |

I had a Pro 1, and currently own a G6.
Differences to note: MEGAPIXEL Pro1, 8.0 G6, 7.1 LENS SPEED Pro1, f/2.4 G6, f/2.0 SHUTTER SPEEDS Pro1, 15-1/4000sec G6, 1-1/2000sec SHOOTING SPEED Pro1, 2.5 shots/sec. G6, 11 shots/sec. WEIGHT Pro1, 19.2 oz G6, 13.4oz OPTICAL ZOOM Pro1, 28-200mm, USM, 7.14X G6, 35-140mm, 4X OPTICAL ZOOM CONTROL Pro1, Zoom Ring on lens G6, Conventional W/T control near shutter button, using right index finger GLASS Pro1, "L" series glass I prefer the G6, over the Pro1...just a matter of personal preference. Not based on technical issues, or performance. I find those to be too close to worry about, for my needs. Bill Crocker "Bret Cohen" wrote in message m...

Of course another significant difference between the Pro1 and the G6 is the
size of the CCD (2/3" compared to 1/1.8"). For me, I feel the Pro1 passes the point where I consider a camera to be reasonably compact, so while it might be superior on a technical standpoint -given the choice- I would go for a G6 over a Pro1.
