Pro 1 on Canon web site

[phili1]

Pro 1 is on Canon web site.
The zoom shows you the MM digital and 35mm comparison.
The viewfinder has been changed like the Minoltas. Electronic 100%.
The focusing has been improved, faster more accurate.
Macro now has a super macro.
The zoom is now 200mm.
I am not sure which sensor it has.
DPreview says the maual focus has been improved but you cant tell on the Canon site.
It has threads for filters. and a positive lens cap.
Its the same size as the G5.
It has a pop up flash.
It shutter speed range is greater. Lower settings.
With its 1.5 tele extender you are at 300mm.

I have Eos lenses so I am still leaning towards the 10D but it sounds like a great alternative if the sensor allows you better noise reduction at higher ISO'S. It would be a definate upgrade decision for me. A four piece camera bag take you throught the enitre gammit.

Are you sure? The actual same sensor, or one the same size? The F828 uses a new four colour sensor - RGBE.

I don't think its the same sensor. The reports I read refer to it and its rgbe color but canon has made theres go eitherr rgbs or adobe rgb.

They are to much of a leader to copy but hey its possable anything is.

Two important things will the sensor produce the same noise or is it improved.

and is it a real time manual focus.

I think similar in size...............not necessarily the exact same thing. (you guys are correct).

I stand corrected...............
