What makes this 8mp CCD camera so special?

Рет қаралды 72,919

Күн бұрын

Not a famous camera, but one that deserves to be remembered. The Canon PowerShot Pro1 is an 8mp CCD sensor fixed lens bridge camera released in 2004 that is still relevant today. If you're looking for an inexpensive camera with great glass, colors and surprisingly pushable RAW files, then this may be the one for you.
It's probably the most consistent old digital camera I've used to date. Consistent good results. Shots are always sharps and colors are always nice. A joy to shoot. Thank you again to the person that gifted me it :)

These were the rage back at the time. I lusted after one but couldn't afford it. Later on I picked up a Fujifilm S7000 used and that was the camera that firmly planted me in digital photography for a decade. I'm pretty sure it's still a forgotten reject, and you're just the fella to go find a good working one cheap and smile. (Seriously, that thing took some of my favorite photos from all the 2000s.)

Fujifilm always knocked it out of the park with their bridge cameras. 14 year old me for a second hand cheap fuji bridge camera and it was my first experience with manual shooting. I adored it. Like all good and eventually beloved cameras, once you bonded to it and knew its quirks, you could get some amazing results with it.

I actually started photography with my parents' old Fujifilm s1500 that we kept on the shelf for quite a long time. At first it felt a bit limited, but when I got used to it, it genuinely felt amazing to use such an old device and the photos that it took surprised me because of how much better they looked than I thought they would. I now have a Canon 1200D as my main shooter, but I still do come back to the Fuji at times because of it's small form factor, simplicity and film like image quality. I'm amazed by how much life this little camera has even after all those years.

I've been into digital photography for over 20 years now. My first digital was an Olympus D340R (1998) if that tells you anything. Through your videos and a couple of other channels I've been dabbling in this whole "digicam" resurgence for the last couple of months and I've bought a Sony S85 and a Pro1. I found the Pro1 for $47 so I guess I got a pretty decent deal. I remember when this camera came out I wanted one but I had just bought a Canon 10D so I couldn't justify the Pro1's $1000 price in addition to my dslr. I have taken it out a couple of times and I'm loving the results I'm getting with it. Digital photography now is all about the sharpest lenses, the best low light performance, etc, it's nice to not worry about all that and just concentrate on taking photos. It's liberating and I'm loving it. Keep it up! Loving your videos!

Great review, I bought the camera myself in 2005. I had replaced the Yashica 230AF at that time. With 8MP and the standard zoom of 28-200 I was fully satisfied. I only replaced the camera with the Fuji XT-2 in 2018 - as it had some pixel errors. Looking through my photo books, the Powershot Pro1 has nothing to hide - if you don't zoom into the photos.

It also doesn't have RAW files but the TIFF lossless files are often just as flexible for post processing and editing.

I've owned the Pro 1 for some months now (aswell as the F828). The Pro1, I agree, is an amazing piece of kit, having an L series lens makes this Canon a big deal, and yes prices are going upward as the Pro1 becomes harder to find in good condition. I paid over £100 for mine but its in mint condition, it also came with the filter ring attachment and hood. I just wish Canon had adopted a manual zoom, as in the F828 and the R1. I'm torn between the Pro1, the Sony F828 and my treasured Sony R1. These three oldies have become my favourites, and I use them every day. They are amazing cameras. Many thanks. Regards Rob (UK).

Hi, just found your channel. Maybe you've already done a video on one of my faves, the S5-IS, also from Canon. I still use that for "speciality" shooting such as time-lapse or motion trigger while running CHDK. [ w/ AC power ] I don't know the source of its sensor, but while it doesn't store RAW natively CHDK does allow for that function and I agree that I've recovered incredible detail even with Photoshop Elements v.9.0! Another fave is my Olympus stylus ( Labelled u*-5010 here in Canada but known by other names in various markets ) which still gives me results for clouds at 14 M-Px which none of my Lumixes, Fujis or Canons can quite match. It's thicker, of course, but in the other 2 dimensions a credit card is an accurate descriptor of it's beautifully compact frame. *( "u" actually being the "micro" symbol )

I used one for a couple of years. In 2008 I switched to a Nikon D300, and was surprised that it was not really an upgrade in terms of image quality, due, I think, to the Nikon's anti-alias filter obscuring more detail than the added 50% resolution gained. We have a poster hanging on our shop wall that we published of a Stradivari violin body shown full size that is in no way inferior to what I could do today, thanks mainly to the limitations of halftone printing technology obscuring any detail gain beyond a certain point.

@@snappiness From what I gather the C-xxxx lineup is pretty solid. I was initially looking for an older 4mp model to match the E-10, but the C8080 and an E-PL1 came up in a lot super cheap (~60 CAD) on FB Marketplace. Neither looked to be in particularly good condition, but I scooped them up anyway. Turns out they were just dirty and neglected, but in excellent shape under the muck :)

I'm shooting with a Canon 400D and the 18-55mm kit lens, I'm really only shooting trains, and I'd say it does pretty well. The sharpness isn't amazing, and further objects are really soft. But the quality for 2006 looks amazing.

Awesome! I am a big fan of those 2006-2008 10mp DSLRs. A lot of bang for your buck and great image quality, especially when you put on some nice glass. Though as you noted you can still get great pics with the kit 18-55.

@@snappiness I'm gonna be getting quite a lot of money in the next few months, so I'm going to buy a Nikon D3100 and 18-105 nikkor, for only like 190$, I've seen a couple people on Instagram take photos with this gear and they look amazing. the canon only cost 65$ and the problem with it is that I don't know how much photos it's taken meaning I'd be too risky keeping it for a long time cause the shutter might break. And the back mirror is already broken so the autofocus doesn't work, which is a common problem in the 350D and 400D

Powershot S2 and Optio W10. I had a Powershot S1-IS and i loved it but it died the SONY sensor pest, along with a small pile of Minolta Dimage X20. I wonder if i can get the replacement sensor somewhere. I absolutely hate repairing digital cameras but i once had to reassemble an Olympus zoom digicam that i got as a loose bag of parts that someone else disassembled and it worked afterwards, so i would dare say i'm somewhat just a little bit qualified. I do want another bridge, image stabilised camera someday.

I have a Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR. It isn't mirrorless, but that is OK. I really like the images produced by the CCD imager: They seem "softer" than those produced by the CMOS imagers used today. I had no difficulty finding a battery or charger for the camera. I already had a Compact Flash Card for it. Those are still available but are getting a bit expensive. This one is a whopping 8 gigabytes! This old beast goes along with my Sony alpha 6700 on photo excursions.

I shot with my father powershot a720 is and i love it. Like it's light compact and the image out of it feel organic IDK why and the IS save the life. Some downside like slow autofocus especially at night compared to my modern 250d. i put CHDK on it to have an histogram and raw but yeah. compared to nikon it has IS and it's cheap compared to a lumix. Also the image quality isn't good at 800 and forget 1600. Plus the slow aperture but it takes fun photos of my friends and it's cheap. I'd love to own a g10 more high end build and 14mpx but idk why i can't find one under 100€ Love this video ans hope a day i'll find one like this !!

@snappiness 2 жыл бұрын

I would think the K7 would have the edge actually, but I don't have one anymore to compare side by side. They aren't really comparable cameras, as the k7 has a much larger sensor and interchangeable lenses. The Canon PowerShot Pro1 is incredible for it's age and for what it is, but it does show a lot of noise in the shadow recovery and you're dealing with less resolution. Yeah the K-5 is quite an upgrade to the k7 so that could be a good route, especially if you already have a good amount of Pentax glass
