14 best prosumer cameras

Prosumer cameras are a category of digital cameras that bridge the gap between consumer-level and professional-level cameras. These cameras are designed to offer advanced features and capabilities while remaining accessible to enthusiasts, advanced hobbyists, and semi-professionals. Here are some key characteristics and features of prosumer cameras:

  1. Advanced Image Quality: Prosumer cameras typically feature larger image sensors compared to compact cameras, which allows for better image quality, especially in low-light conditions. They also often support interchangeable lenses, offering greater versatility in capturing different types of shots.

  2. Manual Control: Prosumer cameras provide extensive manual control over settings such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, white balance, and focus. This level of control allows photographers to fine-tune their shots and achieve creative effects.

  3. High-Quality Optics: Many prosumer cameras come with high-quality lenses that offer improved sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy.Some models may have a selection of compatible lenses, allowing users to choose the right lens for their specific needs.

  4. RAW Image Capture: Prosumer cameras often support RAW file formats in addition to JPEG. RAW files contain more image data and provide greater flexibility for post-processing and editing.

  5. Advanced Autofocus: These cameras typically feature more advanced autofocus systems, including phase-detection or hybrid autofocus, which results in faster and more accurate focusing, especially in challenging situations.

  6. Video Capabilities: Many prosumer cameras excel in video recording as well. They may offer features like 4K video recording, manual video controls, microphone inputs, and headphone jacks for monitoring audio quality.

  7. Built-in Wi-Fi and Connectivity: Prosumer cameras often include built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, enabling easy transfer of photos and remote camera control via a mobile app.

  8. Articulating Screens: Some prosumer cameras have articulating or tilting LCD screens, which are useful for capturing shots from unusual angles or for vlogging and self-portraits.

  9. Viewfinders: While some prosumer cameras rely solely on LCD screens for composing shots, others include electronic viewfinders (EVFs) or optical viewfinders for more traditional shooting experiences.

  10. Durable Build: Prosumer cameras are typically built to withstand more rugged use and may feature weather-sealing to protect against dust and moisture.

  11. Customization: These cameras often provide customizable buttons and settings, allowing users to tailor the camera's functions to their preferences.

  12. Price Range: Prosumer cameras are positioned in a mid-range price category, making them more affordable than high-end professional cameras but offering many advanced features.

Prosumer cameras are suitable for individuals who are passionate about photography and videography and want more control and creative possibilities than typical point-and-shoot cameras provide. They are versatile tools that can handle a wide range of photography styles, from landscape and portrait photography to action and wildlife photography, as well as video production.

User questions & answers

Question: BIONZ X Processor enables high Speed rec 120fps". At what resolution is 120fps because I can't find it
Answer: I believe it's for the lower formats, either 720p or standard definition recording.
Question: Can it Record 4K or 1080p video in MP
Answer: NO, it does not have AV1 codec as the old 1997 LGR floppy UMD PSP like disk for storage based on Microsoft's project silica as of yet for storing over 60 hours of 4k video content shot constantly or have a tv broadcast like shoot video to be uploaded directly to the cloud servers as of yet so wait a couple of years if you already have one or a smartphone before upgrading your smartphone/camcorder do i9t yourself tv broadcast hybrid camera here for shooting videos to edit for youtube on the sony big screen on adobe premiere.
Question: Can you change / adjust the lens or is the one that comes with the product permanent
Answer: Yes you can use something like a REDEYE .65x wide angle adapter. It needs to have a 67mm thread with it. The REDEYE lens is made in Canada, and is a much better option then the cheap Chinese lenses which are widely available. You will definitely want a high quality glass lens. This camera only goes to like 29mm on it's wide side, so a wide lens adapter might be a good idea to have with it. 16X9 inc, Century, also make quality glass,but are more pricey then the nice one I found on a big auction site. If you can find a quality lens for under $300, it would be good for your kit. Also the REDEYE has a very protective padded leather lens pouch that ships with it.
Question: can this camera use the 4:2:2 color space, for professional broadcast
Answer: Uh, "XAVC-S uses 4.2.0." What??? The term XAVC-S has NOTHING to do with subsampling. It's just a container, or wrapper. XAVC-S is a Sony proprietary wrapper. The codec is H.264, which of course allows for 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 depending on the recording circuitry. The circuitry and firmware in THIS PARTICULAR CAMERA only records 4:2:0 in 4k resolution up to 100Mb/s which it then "delivers" via H.264 wrapped in MP4 along with LPCM audio. But 4:2:2 or even 4:4:4 CAN be coded in H.264, using different circuitry and firmware. That has NOTHING to do with "XAVC-S." In any case, you don't necessarily "need" to SHOOT in 4:2:2 unless you are doing a lot in post, like chromakey or color processing. If you can "upsample" to 4:2:2 (usually by "downscaling" to 1080p) with software (like Premiere Pro,) then your output can be more or less 10-bit "4:2:2." That's called "broadcast quality" because no TV or monitor is perfectly calibrated to the one you're editing on--so, 10-bit (1024 levels) color provides an ample range for any given 8-bit (256 level) TV to fall into. In other words, "broadcast quality" only means "wiiiide safety margin" so far as color sampling information goes. That dates back to NTSC analog color TV--broadcast 4 times as much color information than the viewer's TV can display, so that his 4:2:0 TV will be able to catch enough color signal to still get what he will see as a "good" picture. Even in UHD digital TV, on average, 4:2:2 1080p looks "better" to the human eye than 4:2:0 4K unless the viewer is sitting with his nose touching a 65" screen) for the same reason--calibration of the display (which can vary from one area of the screen to another, let alone from one TV to another.)

User questions & answers

Question: I want to record my band can I record audio too off my mixerboard
Answer: I had terrible results with that. I am using a Yamaha mixer straight into the camera. I am recording loud electric guitars. The VU meter on the camera is so crude as to be pretty useless. No matter how I set the VU meter or the master on the mixer, the audio would come out distorted badly. Nothing I tried worked. That was my main reason for buying the camera was to use a mixer to use two mics to record a speaker cab. I sent the camera back, the results were just too crude and useless. I ended up buying an upscale Panasonic UX180 that has stereo XLR inputs, a fully manageable recording system in camera with separate audio dials for each channel. My mixer works perfectly with it so I get video and audio on my SD cards to dump straight into Final Cut ProX, works like a dream. I simply could not find another camera that had professional audio recording capabilities using a mixer. I tried a budget JBC pro camcorder, what a horrible piece of junk, the view finder was completely worthless, image quality was terrible, the UX180 is a big camera with big pro features, worth every penny I paid for it. The V770 is a great camera on its own, but dumping audio into, was a huge fail for me, with no work around.
Question: What the frame rate
Answer: Max240
Question: Is power supplied through the mic input, to operate a mic with out a battery? Or would you have to buy a mic with a built in power source
Answer: The built in mic is excellent. That said, if you want an external mic, I'd suggest one like the Rode VideoMic. You have to supply your own power, there is no phantom power.
Question: Does it have a jack for an external microphone
Answer: Yes it does. External Microphone. Another for external headphones. It also has an external hot shoe for boom mic or lighting.

User questions & answers

Question: Can accessories be mounted to it like a bide camera or is just a handle
Answer: Yes, those screw holes on the top and sides of the handle are designed to accept mounting brackets 1/4 and 3/8 inch for adding accessories. There is also another shoe-mount at the top end where you can mount a light or mic.
Question: Does this fit snugly into a standard shoe mount or is there wiggle room for it to move around when not screwed down? thank you
Answer: My unit fits snug, but I would still tighten it up.
Question: How long is this? I don't want this to be in view of my wide angle lens, but want to use it facing forward
Answer: Its about 6 inches long
Question: Does this fit Sony A
Answer: I don't have the Sony A7. This handle does fit my Nikon and Pentax cameras. Supposedly, the handle fits all DSLR hotshoes. Since the Sony A7 series are not DSLRs, I would suggest you contact the maker for further info.
