While the Powershot Pro1 is still considered as a prosumer digital camera, it's features are nearing DSLR capability. This camera has successfully bridge the gap between the prosumer range and the DSLR range. If you want a fun camera that has a host of fun and convenient features such as movie recording and variable angle LCD without getting too caught up with complicated and professional features of the DSLR, the Powershot Pro1 should fit you well. The Pro 1 improves on the G5 in most areas, except two: the maximum aperture is now F2.4, still larger than the regular F2.8, but smaller than the G5's bright F2.0; and the low-light AF assist illuminator is absent on the Pro 1.
