Digital Camera Comparison : Pocket vs. DSLR vs. Prosumer

1 . Pocket
body :
Shape Pocket cameras are usually thin and small , easy to fill the bag or wherever you want it . Many people are tempted by a charming and elegant design . Simple . Not limited to any of the groups , it can be sure , that most camera types Pocketlah owned compared to other kinds of types .
features
Very easy to use . With a system that has been in the automation , the user only needs to look at the area of ​​the shooting and press the shutter button . This simplicity seems to be one of the reasons why many of us prefer a pocket camera than the other types . Unfortunately , the features in it are often not mangijinkan us to download the manual settings , and this is one of the drawbacks Pocket camera .
But sometimes yagg in providing software on Pocket camera sometimes been equaled and exceeded with a DSLR . For example, the ability to reduce vibration ( Vibration Reduction ) so that the images do not blur , the ability to detect the desired focus area , the Live View facility ( the object can be seen on the LCD ) and Traffic video recording . Actually facility Live View and video recording capabilities already exist in several types of DSLR , but the price will make you think about it anymore to buy a DSLR .

Sensors in digital cameras serve as a catcher picture. In the course Pocket camera image sensor is not as big as the kind of prosumer and DSLR cameras . And indeed in the design in such a way , because it is the need for a pocket camera does not require a large sensor . But as a result , the area will be cropped shots . Which is different premises possessed DSLR sensor coverage area is larger so the aim is greater .
lens
Now talking about the lens . Antecedent lenses provide the cameras Pocket usually quite wide . Optical zoom is also quite capable for a Pocket camera . But of course this lens can not be replaced like a DSLR . And I think Pocket camera does not require lenses that can be replaced , because most marketing Pocket camera is aimed for consumers who lay in the world of photography . Consumers who do not require creativity to make the art of photography .
functionality
If in the eye of the capabilities and convenience offered by a Pocket camera , the intended user is a user who just want the ease of use of the camera . It is suitable in use for documentation of events or family office . Enough to be reliable as a tool to capture the moments that nature does not require creative art photography is too high . Although the actual legitimate used for learning photography . Just press one button, snap .. !
So , please if you purchase Pocket cameras are only used for documentation only . However, it should also be noticed , the price of a new pocket camera sometimes almost equal to the price of a used or DSLR ( semipro ) , you should browse first on price and fiur are provided.
2 . Prosumer
body
The shape resembles a DSLR , bongsor tolerable . Rather difficult to differentiate in the camera eye . Made to resemble a DSLR because it's goal as an alternative for consumers who want to buy a DSLR but do not allow the wallet capabilities ( ehehehe ) . Body ergonomics are customized to the user's hand while holding the camera . And the body is adapted to the size of the lens that has the dimensions and weight greater than that of the Pocket camera . In general, the size of the lens on the premises Prosumer lenses supplied on a DSLR camera .
features
Resembles a DSLR . Programnnya settings can be set manually . Aperture , ISO and shutter speed can be set manually . So that our creativity is not limited by the automated system . And more tantalizing , almost all Prosumer has the ability to record video and Live View facilities . A facility that must be paid on an expensive DSLR camera . And perhaps the most Prosumer , objects that we see through the viewfinder / viewfinder is not directly from the lens ( not TTL ) , but by the camera sensor , so that we see in the View Finder is a small LCD that displays the object .
censorship
Prosumer camera sensor used is usually greater than Pocket cameras and smaller than a DSLR camera . This is one fundamental difference between prosumer and DSLR cameras . And this will be closely linked to the ability of the sensor to catch bokeh ( blur ) and the presence of Crop Factor ( cuts due to differences in the size of the image sensor ) generated by Prosumer cameras .
lens
Can not be replaced like a DSLR . Indeed, this is the difference between the major intellectual and prosumer DSLR . But , FL ( Focal Length / length magnification ) lens is usually the lens prosumer type of broom universe , with the aperture / diaphragm / aperture is large . Really tempting for a lens . Not to mention if the brand of the lens is a Carl Zeiss or other famous merek2 . Often people say of people with , buy a camera lens bonus . Why is that ? Just try your search Area 18-300/2.8 lens , must be expensive , not to mention the brand Carl Zeiss lens , fantastic is not it? .
Prosumer camera lens does not dapaty be replaced , but the technical capabilities and brand lens prosumer camera is enough to make us tempted to buy it . Moreover, the price of similar premises prosumer cameras DSLR cameras .
functionality
Prosumer is intended for consumers who want to deepen the world of photography by offering features that emulate digital SLR cameras , lenses and grafting who qualified. More compact than a DSLR , do not need to carry a complete range of equipment of war , just the camera alone , no need bawa2 lens ( because it can not be replaced ) . Please remember , the prosumer cameras , the sensor is smaller than a DSLR and the lens can not be mutually as we please .
3 . DSLR
body
Body large, in accordance with the values ​​for grip ergonomics , is generally very similar to the Prosumer . Which certainly can not be put in your pocket " ^ ^ v . Possessed a comfortable handgrip for in a handheld , especially when wearing a heavy lens , very useful .
features
Of course, all settings can be set manually . Aperture , ISO and shutter speed can be set at will . All DSLR certainly possessed this ability . Settings - settings on a DSLR is what makes us biased control the camera settings to produce photographs that fit our creativity each ( in addition to the lens of course ) .
The difference is often in talking about features currently between one and the other is DSLR features Live View and video recording capabilities . This ability has a different mechanism of Pocket and Prosumer cameras , so the appearance of this facility will jack up the price on DSLR DSLR . Many think that the money used / diinveskan transform only buy lenses from the purchase of advanced - advanced DSLR , DSLR quite ordinary.

DSLR has a larger sensor than or prosumer Pocket camera , the object becomes wider area / wide . The size of the sensor is directly proportional to the cost of production , it is no wonder if the uumya type digital SLR cameras are more expensive than Prosumer cameras and Pocket . DSLR sensor technology on normally low noise . Thus the images are relatively clean production of pixel dots that produce color anomalies .
lens
Speaking of DSLR , certainly not biased released from the need for lenses . Because of the advantages of DSLR is , one , can replace the lens with various types you want . Many of the photography hobbyist collecting various types of lenses , whether it is used or not , because of the various types of lenses have different functions . Here , in addition to the settings on the camera , you can also play around with your creativity produces images that you want.
If you are not careful , you could be addicted to buying this lens and it . There have been many examples , hehehehe ... that is definitely not me : p ....
functionality
Very suitable for the consumer / user who wants to deepen the world of photography . Of course you have to learn the techniques. DSLR is just a tool , but there are creative yourself . Buying a DSLR does not mean the images to be generated good too , you still have to know the techniques. And lucky , you already live in a digital world , much easier than having to learn to use an SLR camera ( film) . Moreover , today there are many articles on the internet , allows you to know the ins and outs and techniques in photography .
For your information , DSLR cameras are complicated , a lot of accessories that you will need later .
conclusion
Of the three types of cameras , the best option is when viewed from the goal you buy the camera . The conclusion that I can make :

    Pocket Camera : documentation function for office and family picnics .
    Prosumer Camera : works to learn photography , want a camera that does not need to be mutually exchange the lens .
    DSLR Camera : serves to deepen photography , hobby photography , complicated , documentation is also legitimate
