Prosumer uniqueness
Digital camera prosumer DSLR cameras have similar to body and armed with a long lens but can not removable like the lens on a DSLR camera. This is one of the advantages that a prosumer camera than the other, which is a long zoom lens. In fact you can buy a prosumer camera with ultra zoom lens or a super zoom with a 20x optical zoom even more. So enough with the lens attached that is already able to reach objects both near and far. Unlike the compact cameras that have an average or small optical zoom to change their DSLR lenses with a longer to reach distant objects. Be superior prosumer camera with this feature.
For the size of the circle lenses, prosumer tend to be smaller than DSLR cameras and larger than the compact. This is because the size of the sensor used is smaller than prosumer DSLR and larger than compact. It's one of the fundamental differences between the three types of cameras. And this will be related to the ability of the camera to process the image. The larger the sensor, then the images will get better.
Lately prosumer camera can also be set manually. Aperture / diaphragm, ISO and shutter speed can be set manually, so that your creativity is not limited by the automated system.
