I am looking into getting a P&S. How does the pro1 do against the g10?

I have not owned a P&S for a while and I am completely out of the loop on them. The Pro 1 ( although not made for a bit) seems like a very well regarded camera. However the G series has a wonderful reputation as well. So with size taken out of the equation along with price, how do these 2 cameras compare?

Thank you for your response.

THE PRO1 IS 5 YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY... It's going to seem really slow and cumbersome compared to a newer G-series.

Thanks, I am not sure anything could be more cumbersome than one of my other cameras.
I should be more specific, I am asking an an IQ basis.

Compare IQ side by side.

The Image Quality of the Pro1 is still hard to beat. The L lens helps a lot of course, and the 28-200mm Zoom range was the best amongst the powershot for long time. The Pro1 is 5 YEARS OLD and that must be considered, of course.

I think it is not cumbersome, and I use it every day. It was packed with all the bells and whistles of its time and then some more because it was built to test the entry level DSLR of these days, in my opinion.

The worst thing about the Pro1 is the combination of a manual focus difficult to use and its poor ability to auto-focus on low light; the S5 IS is better focusing and I think the G9 and G10 focus better than the Pro1 too.

Ah! The noise level at 400 ISO is also very noticeable.

Returning to the image quality, check the g-series challenges, there are many pictures of the Pro1 and of all the G-series cameras.

On this week challenge, a Pro1 picture won the first place, followed by a G10 and another Pro1

Thanks everyone for the great links. On the side by side there is not much difference. It may be a tough decision but I think either way I would be adding a nice P&S to the line up.
