Hi,
I was just wondering what the Pros and Cons are for the PS Pro 1 and the PS G6. I understand that the Pro 1 is about 100 bucks more and has 8.0MP, but are there any Cons on the Pro 1?

disadvantages of the pro1 over the g6 are size, weight, fast 2.0f lens and no optical viewfinder (imho)
i think it also doesn't have a af assit beam for focusing in low light...
fps...the g6 is faster
many advantages of the pro1 over the g6 which are pretty obvious...everything else that wasn't mentioned...

I originally was gettin a Pro 1, but after askin around, reading buyer's reviews, and trying myself... I ended up gettin the G6. it's more user friendly, with faster focusing.... the Pro 1 seem slow. and for almost 200 bucks more... you don't really get that much extra I think.
