And an upgrade on the Elan7/7e, but we don't talk film camera's here.

I gotta say, the Pro1 is high up on my list now to replace my G3. I thought I'd be pining for Nikon's new 8700, but compared to the Pro1, the 8700 mostly seems to be a 5700 with an 8 MP sensor. I mean, it's still a nice camera, but I can't resist a good Canon. I can't wait for a review.

On the other hand, I'm surprised Canon decided to make the S1 a little "lower" in spec compared to the G3/G5. The coolest thing the S1 does is the unlimited VGA movie, but other than that it's more cash for fewer pixels. Canon certainly drew a big line between their prosumer models this time around.

Pro1 is nice but I'd hoped Canon would put in VGA 640 x 480, 30fps video and an IS lens. :cry:

It's cool to see all those new cameras being introduced. But what about the prices on those cameras? Are they priced reasonably? If they are too expensive, then I won't have the dough to buy them except to salivate.

[Slamnasty]

The prices are as follows, according to what I've seen:

Elph SD110 = $300 US
Elph S410 = $350-400 US
Elph S500 = $500 US
Powershot A75 = $300-350 US
Powershot S1 IS = $500 US
Powershot Pro1 = $1000 US

and lastly,

EOS 1D Mark II = $BANKLOAD US
