Post subject: CHOOSING A PROSUMER DIGITAL CAMERA
Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital (more info?)

I currently have an old Sony DSC F-707 but am looking for an excellent
camera for Weddings, Qunceaneras, etc.

I adore my F-707 and love Sony products for durability and low repair
issues, but had a bit of trouble with inadequate speed and flash.

I've looked at the Sony Alpha and am tempted. This means I need to
learn a bit more about the lenses etc. which is daunting, but a
logical jump from point & shoot to a more professional (or prosumer)
camera.

Any suggestions on this purchase? I'd like to narrow it down to 10 MP
and above.

Thank for any input!

Cheers--- Austinite

I would add the question: "What's the screen like in bright
ambient light like out of doors on a sunny day?" That has become
important as automatic cameras omit an optical viewfinder.

If you like Sony products, then the Alpha would be a logical choice for you.
I assume you have checked it out:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydslra100/

You will find the speed much better and more flash options. There are over
20 lenses to choose from ... that might be good or bad!

Very probably from the context but I was not aware that
"prosumer" was a synonym for DSLR.

Is a PROsumer the opposite of a CONsumer?

The Alpha is built pretty light and does not seem very solid to me, the lens
choices are limited and generall expensive. Personally I would choose any
other brand of D-SLR. Have a look at DP Review as a starting point keeping
in mind that the reviewer there prefers Nikon and Canon over all others no
matter how good others are.

More like "Ramble"

Exactly how many real Professional Photographers, (those who earn their
living), use non SLR cameras??

Not a lot !!

They are not into trying to impress the audience with their Gear, they just
want the best results they can get, and choose the tools which can give them
that.

They don't treat their Cameras as "Precious", like so many Amateurs do, they
just get on with making them do the job and replace them when they begin to
wear out.

If they could get the same results from P & S cameras, as you seem to imply,
that is what they would use.

Hello, Pete:

And every prosumer, P&S "super zoom" camera features an EVF (electronic
viewfinder), in addition to a regular LCD panel.


Cordially,

Hmmm,
Lumix DMC-FZ50? I am reasonably happy with DMC-FZ8.
Also I carry Finepix F40fd in my pocket.
And ig gun is Canon dSLR with several lens I can borrow from my kid.
If I am not mistaken Alpha was off spring of Minolta dSLR.
