Hi,

Anyone of you are using Semi-Pro D.Camera like Lumix FZ-30,FZ-50,Finepix S9000 and so on??Which is the Best in the recent market now?Need some idea from you...

Worth to Invest?

What's the Big different in between DSLR and Those Semi-Pro built-in Twist-barrel Zoom Lens D.Camera??

Thank you very much..

Biggest difference would be sensor size. Also, the camera's you've listed are called Prosumers. When you use the term Semi-Pro digital cameras, ppl tend to think DLSR Territory where Semi-Pro models would be like the Canon EOS 20D/30D/40D and Nikon D200/D300. Well at least thats the impression I get.

If you're looking for manual barrel zoom like Prosumer models, I would also suggest taking a look at the Fujifilm 6500FD. Though a bit long in the tooth, it still is one of the better performing camera especially when ISO performance is taken into consideration as well as being able to give you a good feel of what a DSLR Camera would feel like due to its size and weight.......In case you decide to upgrade in the future.

JulChin,

thanks for the correction on the word or Prosumer and Semi-Pro...Haa..I thought every piece of DSLR called Pro..

Then,my office actually own a semi-pro cam Canon 10D, am i right?

One thing i gonna get a Prosumer Cam is because of the LCD preview.Most of the time while we capture the Picture at higher and lower angle we might not see what is the picture there...so,the flexible twisted LCD might give us a hand..

2ndly,for the stage now,i'm still wish to improve the skill of shooting before invest a DSLR which is need some token to get a few different Lens to support behind.

What i know is Lumix and Fuji did provide a quite pro result on Twist-barrel Zoom lens and the picture quality look-like Pro.

And, what i saw online is, some of the DSLR/Semi-Pro are included a basic 28-55mm lens isn't it, Like Nikon or Pentax?

Atlast,which is the most worth stuff s'ld i get it on this stage?Prosumer or Semi-Pro...of cause the Price and Lens are consideration.

Will check out 6500FD!

Thanks

for the price, Fuji S6500
for the best performance PnS: Panasonic FZ50

Vichio,

Thanks for the idea.
Do you know what's the market price for the Fuji S6500 and Lumix FZ50?
Are you recently using it?do you mind to post some of those Original Photos and compare the quality..

no, i'm using S3 IS
Fuji S6500 around 1400RM, S9500 around 1700RM, better ISO control
Panasonic Fz50 expensive, around 2000RM, got Leica lens ( a bit beter than Fuji ), beter macro
better go for Fuji S6500, the advantage of Fz50 over Fuji S6500 is not worth 600RM.

Wow..Wow..
Seems highly recommended S6500 oh...
But,Is it a Wide Angle Lens...or do need the extenal Wide Angle Converter?if yes,how much is it?

FZ50,is the Lens original Wide Angle design?

S6500 only RM1400? which shop is the most warm and offer a good price?

Here's how I explain their difference

It's really useful link man!!

Ya,what you analys are right.

What i wish to know is the experiences and the reviews of the recently Prosumer cam in the market..

Which will be the highest rate for worth to get it in terms of features,spec and quality??

What is your budget mate?

around RM2000. ofcause like chinese said get the Cheap and Nice product...haa...lens,aperture and photo quality are the most concern.

Is the IS really useful?if yes might be consider.

And sure,if 1.5k can get a Good quality product,then will have it...If 2k can't get the Good product and i'm sure need to put my budget higher than 2k to get a OK product...don't wish to regreat after it!!

Thanks for helps...wondering and wondering now..haa..

Can a second hand D40/350D which cost below 2k.

Aww too bad the deal over lelong at 1.9k for 400D is sold.

Andy,

thanks for the hand.
Are those 2nd cam will be safe? i mean, will it damage after a moment then?
You suggest me to get a DSLR instead of Psosumer cam?

if you are seriously into photography then yes, DSLR! No point wasting your money by upgrading later

thanks wlcling,

erm..one more think i concern is..i like so much to use the Fuji Enlarge Check Focus funtion...What's your opinion on this function?Cause,some times...always out of focus and manual focus as well, din't or unable to get the right focus through the view finder of DSLR

Need your expert help

I doesnt know the latest technology from Fuji , but then dSLR focusing is very accurate.
Forget about Prosumer camera if you're serious into photography.

Oh yea, you'll have more fun in dSlr world too.

It's very worth to get second hand 350D/400D which with kitlens and other accessories.
If you would like to get new one , i guess the D40 is at 2k + -.

Andy,

Seems,you are quite highly recommended on Nikon...Nikon fans ah??
Why Nikon?Not Canon and so on...?
Eh bro,any website of yours that we can take a tour on your pretty shoot?

Eh,DSLR of couse good but high investment on the Lens...like Macro and Tele if the kit lens is 38-80mm (hope i note the right thing haa..)
