Latest Prosumer Camera

At the end of 2013, there are some exciting new prosumer cameras from Sony, Olympus and Nikon. Traditional, prosumer camera is a compact camera and DSLR camera bridge. The resulting image quality is between the two types of cameras.

Prosumer cameras have advantages not possessed a compact camera or DSLR, the zoom lens has a very wide range, from wide to telephoto.

Although prosumer cameras zoom ratio is very large, there are even able to reach 50x zoom, but the size of the sensor is much smaller than a DSLR camera system that captures the ability of contrasting light and dark conditions performance is still not good.

Sony RX10

at the end of this year , Sony launched the Sony camera RX10 , a prosumer camera other than another because image sensors that use relatively large size is 1 inch .
With a larger sensor , we can expect better photo quality than pocket cameras or cell phones . For photos dark conditions , ISO 800 still looks okay .
Sony RX10 have an advantage in the zoom lens is in the range of 24 - 200mm f2.8 constant opening up to 200mm . It is rare for a prosumer type camera .
Exceeds the light gathering capability of digital SLR cameras with ordinary lenses . About the ability to create background blur ( restrict sharp ) is limited due to the size of the camera sensor DSLR cameras that do not like bersensor APS - C or full frame .
To compare with a 35mm full frame sensor camera , we need to multiply by a factor 2.8- inch sensor 1 is 2.7x . ie f.7.5
And proportional to f / 5 at camera bersensor APS - C DSLR . I think that is pretty good and will make the background a bit blurry , especially when zooming to 200mm .
Although the specifications are very good , the price is very high for this camera prosumer grade camera which is USD 1,300 .
So that prospective buyers will most likely think hard enough because with such a high price , they will be able to buy a mid-level DSLR cameras such as the Nikon D7100 . DSLR camera system has two major advantages over the large sensor prosumer cameras and can change-change lens .

Olympus Stylus 1

The latest camera from Olympus offers a zoom lens farther from Sony RX10 is 28-300mm f/2.8 lens with a more physically petite.
Smaller physical size of the sensor is made ​​possible due to a smaller image. Olympus Stylus only has a sensor size of 1/1.7 inch.
With the smaller sensor size, the ability to capture images in both light conditions reduced 1 stop bit darker than Sony RX10. ISO 400 camera is approximately equivalent to ISO 800 Sony RX10.

Nikon P7800

A month earlier, Nikon announced the Nikon P7800 (USD 550), which also includes advanced prosumer camera.
P7800 compete directly with the Olympus Stylus 1 because it has the same sensor size. The second major difference is in the camera's lens.
Olympus Stylus Reach 1 further (28-300mm) Nikon (28-200mm), but at the wide aperture lens Nikon larger (f / 2 compared to f/2.8).
In the telephoto range, the Olympus wins hands down because apart even further (300mm), opening is also larger (f/2.8 than f / 4).

In conclusion, each camera has its plus and minus. as consumers we have many options, depending on what features we like

Without comparing the price, Sony RX0 looks superior on many factors because the larger the sensor, so it better be conditioned dark light. Sony Camera RX10 is ideal for holiday trip with family or street photography.

For those who love the design of such a camera with a film camera and lens range that far, Olympus Stylus 1 will fit. If you like the camera and the most compact size and price are important, Nikon P7800 camera is more fitting.
