The one thing about Prosumer cameras is that they seem to look like consumer cameras. But they are packed full of features that professional will die for. These cameras usually have better built lenses, higher detail, and a lot more control over the exposure settings than regular cameras. The advantage price of these cameras could come in a range of $500 to $1000. One great thing about this type of camera that professional photographers love is the fact this camera is self-contained. It has it all. And the lenses and digital CCD offer the sharpest images that no other consumer camera could provide. An example of this type of camera is the Olympus C-5050 Zoom camera. When looking for a Prosumer camera, it is best to look for these features:

• Lens/resolution: Of course as explained above, the lens is of better quality and provides for better image resolution. When considering the lens, it has more speed to it so just enough light gets through.
• Manual controls: Every camera has some manual controls. The main part of the camera professionals look for is being able to control the exposure settings manually. This setting includes shutter/aperture and shooting modes.
• Ergonomically designed: Prosumer cameras are usually more sturdy, solid, and compact. This way they can be carried around easier and provide the reliability photographers need.
