Hi,

I just need some support on what to buy, and I'm quite settled in either Pentax K10D or Canon Powershot S3 IS. Yes I know one's a DSLR and one's a super zoom, but price is an issue since I dun shoot professionally, nor am I loaded.

But however, I do want your opinion about these cameras and others (u know my budget since I mentioned both of the cameras in different categories rite?Loxl)

I've heard alot of ppl telling me about Nikon D40 and D40x, and etc. I've not actually gripped them, but the 2 above I've pretty seen the manual settings, the EVERYTHING la.  Kinda lazy to mention features.

Well, I hope to get feedback regarding those two, or any other superb cameras in the same price range.

Thanks

actually prosumers have nice picture quality as well.

IMO the difference between prosumer and DSLR would be flexibility.

a prosumer comes straight away with tele and macro modes while DSLR you're stuck with kit lens. so at default, prosumer wins on flexibility. you can go around anywhere and snap.

on the other than DSLR's flexibility is that you can change lens, additional cost but your flexibility is pretty much limited by your wallet.

as to better image, really it depends. i've seen plenty of prosumer / compact users that take better shots than DSLR users.
