History and future of mirrorless cameras
For The first time, the system was introduced by Panasonic and Olympus to launch their first mirrorless camera is the Panasonic G1 and Olympus PEN EP1. These two systems are joined together with a few lenses and other camera manufacturers to form a consortium called the micro four thirds system. Olympus and Panasonic recently introduced the latest generation of the Olympus PEN EP5 and Panasonic G6.

Please find information on Google or Yahoo search engine, you will be mesmerized with their development. There are so many facilities and new features that could affect your view and your opinion. Even the Polaroid has launched mirrorless camera, Polaroid iM1836. It mates an 18.1-megapixel, 1080p video-capable mirrorless body with Android (which we now know to be Android 4.1) to quickly share imagery with social networks over Wi-Fi, or directly to other devices through Bluetooth. That's not the only camera in the Polaroid brand's 2013 lineup, however. Non-Android parallels to the iM1836 are coming with both Wi-Fi (iM1232W) and iM1030 without Wi-Fi, also fixed-in-place lens, the iS2433. Are you interested to try?
Tight competition

The size and weight of mirrorless cameras is not too big, not too small. Many mirrorless system cameras have been equipped by Wi-Fi, so you can send your photo collection into social networking media.
Now there are many mirrorless cameras that use the Android operating system, Jelly Bean, but mirrorless cameras also get competition from cameras that are attached to a smartphone. Reason for the emergence of this emerging system is most people do not like carrying a big heavy DSLR camera, so the camera and lens system made smaller. You do this by removing the viewfinder prism, and a mirror which makes thick and heavy DSLR cameras.

During its development, mirrorless system in general has increased quite a lot. From Autofocus speed, quality LCD screen and electronic viewfinder, and a collection of lenses also increase the quality and number, although not yet complete and as fast as a DSLR camera system. For Autofocus performance, the performance of most of the mirrorless camera still slower than DSLR autofocus systems, but in 2013 there has been a mirrorless camera with faster autofocus.
Suggestions to camera manufacturers
Despite the fairly rapid growth, and excellence in terms of size and weight, these mirrorless systems cannot match or replace the sales volume the DSLR camera system. Many factors led to why the system has not been replaced the DSLR camera, but the most important thing that must be addressed this camera system is a matter of perception of the buyer. In the view of the beginner, mirrorless camera quality is still considered under the DSLR camera system, moreover most sold mirrorless camera above the price of the DSLR cameras.
In the eyes of the professional or serious amateur, mirrorless cameras still serve as "a companion or a second camera" to photograph is taken seriously or not is not for professional work. When shooting things serious, experienced photographers still prefer the DSLR camera system. Although almost all brands of cameras now have a system like that of the mirrorless cameras, and vice versa. However, starting this year, the outlook could be wrong.

In order to win the hearts of the photographer, so the designers of mirrorless system cameras and lenses have very much homework. They need to prepare more high quality lenses at least on par with Canon L series lenses or gold-ringed lens made by Nikon.
It's very good if they also make the optical viewfinder as you find on the Fuji X series cameras.
If necessary they will also need to design a mirrorless camera with equivalent sized sensor DSLR full frame camera. Of course, we as consumers want to get a more affordable price.
To attract users Digital SLR cameras, compact-system cameras and smartphone, they should facilitate connections and upload photos to popular social networks, providing more options for digital processing in the camera, and most importantly they should dare to lower the price of mirrorless cameras, so we have more attractive alternative.

 |
| Nikon Coolpix 8800. Image: wikio.fr |
In recent years, photography enthusiasts often get a surprise with the presence of a wide range of digital cameras with a variety of types and advanced features. Digital SLR camera also gets a serious threat of mirrorless cameras.
Is a Prosumer camera also become a serious contender in the online store, and traditional shops? Prosumer camera can be an alternative for novice photographers and anyone who is bored with Digital SLR cameras which bulky and heavy.
Why there is prosumer camera in the world of photography?
The term "prosumer" is a combination of professional and consumer. When a camera is usually referred to as a prosumer model characterized the ability of point and shoot but has more advanced features than a pocket camera, among others, as it has the ability to use manual exposure settings, ISO settings, as well as the the availability of RAW format image capture. RAW format is generally only available on professional cameras or in the entry-level digital SLR camera.

Prosumer camera manufactured for photography enthusiasts who are enthusiastic, but not yet ready to buy a digital SLR camera or mirrorless cameras which more expensive than a prosumer camera. Some examples prosumer camera is the Canon PowerShot S120, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 and Nikon Coolpix 8800. You can find a prosumer camera on another brand, of course.
Nowadays the main difference is the size dimensions DSLR, prosumer is smaller and lighter than a DSLR as well as his ability is still under DSLR. Viewfinder on prosumer indirectly obtained from the lens, there is even a small LCD that uses a electronic viewfinder (eg Nikon Coolpix 8800).
Prosumer and interchangeable lens
A few years ago prosumer lens can not be replaced, but now prosumer cameras already "align themselves" with a DSLR camera with the ability to change the lens, although not so many choices. Examples prosumer camera is the lens which can be replaced Olympus Pen E-P2, Panasonic Lumix GF3, Samsung NX20. We hope your 2014 will be available more lens options. Panasonic and Olympus serious possibilities to meet the needs of the lens for serious photographers.
In general, the DSLR has a sensor size (much) larger than the pocket or prosumer. Among pocket camera / prosumer itself was the size of the sensor varies; most cameras have a sensor 1/2.3 inch diagonal, while the camera is more "good" has a 1/1.7 inch sensor size. Compare with the DSLR sensor has a diagonal about 1 inch.
Prosumer cameras have a lens that is flexible , and the ability to change settings more sophisticated than a pocket camera, but the image quality is not much different, but you can not underestimate the Prosumer camera because camera manufacturers increasingly improve the sophistication of prosumer cameras.

In terms of marketing, prosumer cameras have the possibility to compete with digital SLR cameras and mirrorless cameras. More affordable price can be a compelling reason for consumers to prefer a prosumer camera , which is also often referred to as a bridge to get to level Digital SLR camera, which is more sophisticated and certainly more expensive.
Prosumer camera is very comfortable to use for leisure activities, family events, even for social and business events. You will be comfortable using prosumer camera for vacation and adventure in exotic places.
The price of the prosumer cameras is more affordable than Digital SLR cameras and mirrorless cameras. You will still get sharp pictures from prosumer cameras. I am confident that 2014 will appear various brands prosumer cameras, of course with more advanced technology and equipped with various features, as well as can be found on mirrorless cameras and Digital SLR.

Simple guidelines for choosing a lens for Digital SLR cameras
 |
| Photo hunting in Bali |
Did you just begin enjoying the world of photography? If you have a hobby of photography and frequent holidays in striking scenery, you definitely will not forget the camera to contain in your tour. You certainly will not miss a moment of unique or stunning view. But sometimes there is a little dilemma. Naturally beginner photographer somewhat confused in determining the right lens for their camera. This problem is not just experienced by Digital SLR camera owners, it turns out the owner mirrorless camera or MFT (Micro Four Third) also felt the same confusion.
The major problem is not the owner of the camera is just about the right choice of lens, apparently a lot to do with the budget. But despite the money problem, at least, you need to know what the right lens for the camera, and understand photography activities you will do. Information on the type and size of the lens is very important point, so you are not buying the wrong lens. So, what points need to be considered?
Select the appropriate lens that suit to the camera
If you have a Nikon camera, then the lens is designed for Canon Mount will not work on your Nikon. You must use lens that suit with your camera, unless you want to use a lens with an adapter or choose a brand that is able to share the platform. You do not have to buy original brand lens from Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Pentax or Panasonic. You can buy a lens that such third party lens made by Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Samyang, and other product.

Adjust the camera lens to the specific needs
For different needs, it would require a different lens. This relates to the focal length and maximum aperture. In general, judging by its use lenses can be divided into 5 groups, as follows:
The first is a standard lens, the 50mm. Usually when buying a DSLR camera, this lens is a lens that is given to camera buyers. The lens is also called a normal lens has a viewing angle and magnification factor equal to our eyes. Now, the factory sells more cameras are bundled with the camera lens 18-55 mm. This tendency has long been the case, both in sales as well as digital SLR camera when you buy mirrorless camera or MFT camera.
Next is a wide angle lens. If you want to take pictures of objects in a small space, this lens is suitable for you, so you get a wider picture. Compared to normal lenses, coverage area captured with this lens will be more extensive. The smaller the distance focus; it will be increasingly broad range of views. This kind of lens sizes is ranging from 17mm to 35mm. For those who like to shoot landscape or experimenting with a wide viewing angle, the wide-angle lens types can be selected.

The opposite of a wide-angle lens is a telephoto lens. The range of this lens is start from 70 mm upwards. You can use telephoto lens closer to the object, but at the same time you can narrowing the viewing angle. This telephoto lens is perfect for photography of fashion show, sports and music concert, or remote objects.
There is also a fish eye lens, wide angle lens that is the size of 14 mm, 15 mm, and 16 mm. With this lens, the images you produce will look curved. You can also use this lens to photograph the faces of your friends, so that their faces would look funny, but the fish-eye lens is usually used to take pictures of objects in the narrow room, such as in buildings, palaces, palace, churches, and so on.
Remember also among a wide variety of lenses, there is a macro lens that you can use to photograph very small objects such as ants, flowers, insects, butterflies and small creatures and other small objects. Lenses like this are usually owned by photography enthusiasts, biologists and other scientists.
Finally, of course is zoom lens. This lens has a size that is not fixed, such as 80-200 mm. This lens is versatile because it can be tailored to the needs, which can zoom in and zoom out. This means you can bring a photo or make the subject much without you having to approach the object you are photographing. Indeed, the price is relatively more expensive, but reliable for various needs. Believe me, there is also a zoom lens at reasonably priced. You can check prices zoom lens by using the search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines so that you get the right information. If you are curious I suggest you can check the prices on the website that is trusted, namely: http://superdigitalzone.com

| She use zoom lens. Image: digitalslrcameras360.com.wordpressors.com |
If you are a beginner photographer, it is best if you have a zoom lens with a range of 18-250 mm or 18-270 mm. This versatile lens is fit for holiday or traveling, so you do not bother to change lenses quickly when you want to switch shooting from close distance to the remote or distance.
You just need to zoom in or zoom out. Sigma and Tamron is a third party lens manufacturer that produces various zoom lenses in different variations, there is even a type that are armed with anti-shake feature (image stabilizer). You could also try the original lens from Leica, Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Pentax, and other original lenses to suit your camera brand.

If you already have a lot of experience and familiarity, and of course the extra money, you can buy a wide range of lenses step by step. If you cannot wait, then you can buy a used lens, but make sure you buy at the store that has a good reputation. Try using a camera lens before you pay. If necessary, get a friend who is experienced so that you get a good lens though not a new lens. You can also get information about the photography forums on the Internet; join the forum so that you are smarter. Join a photography club in your city is also a very good decision.
