This was taken with a new Canon PowerShot Pro 1.
So far I have found many things I don't like about this camera.
It does not fit well in my hand, the buttons are too small and
not laid out very well.
I constantly hit the manual focus button when reaching for the shuter release.
The picture quality is excellent but the LCD monitor on the camera is no where close to the colors that show on my PC screen.
I'll give it a few more days of shoting but I'm thinking about taking this camera back.
See other shots with this camera here.

Ken,
I like this image, you done a good job with it. I bought the Pro 1 about four weeks ago and returned it after two weeks. I found the same issues as you did except for fitting my hand. I have small hands. My biggest issue was the shutter lag time compared to my DSLR's. I missed several photo opportunites because of that. I like your work, so hope it can work out for you.

Nice colours.
I own a Olympus C-2100UZ. The colours I see in the LCD aren't correct most times, but puts out fantastic (correct) colours.
Maybe you just need a few days to adjust to the location of things on that camera...?

I really like this shot. The exposure is spot on and the color and composition is excellent. Well done Ken. I'm sure what ever you get the photos will be good.
