I'm neither a professional photographer nor one with in-depth knowledge about photography. Instead, I'm just an average amateur who has great interest in photography...well, at least for the past 1-2 years.
As compared to friends around me, I'm still using the point-and-shoot camera instead of a DSLR. I've tried different brands of point-of-shoot e.g. Ben Q, Olympus, Kodak and so on. Though I'm quite happy with my Sony Cyber-Shot point-and-shoot, yet I felt that something is missing and it sometimes can't seem to fulfill my needs and deliver the effects that I'm looking for.
Initially I'm thinking of getting myself a DSLR but then a friend of mine in Hong Kong posted several queries to me recently and I soon realized that I'm definitely not ready for a DSLR. It takes greater effort in managing a DSLR, including knowledge, time and patience. And not forgetting to factor in the body weight and size of a DSLR too. For a traveler cum shoppaholic like me, I doubt that I can take care of a DSLR while shopping or bargaining for goodies that I like. It's too distractive and "space" consuming as there's definitely no way for me to keep a DSLR at the back of my jeans!
A prosumer camera, on the other hand, is the type of camera that I should be looking at. The prosumer camera market is intended to serve a specific targeted group of people, which is on the fence of being a common user and professional photographer. This type of camera is easy to operate due to various features with high quality effects and usually priced for common user or interested hobbyist like me.
Guess that I should start scouting around for a prosumer camera. Let the quest begins!
