Things used to be so much simpler in the world of film photography. If you were a serious hobbyist, film SLR cameras were the way to go as compact film cameras simply didn’t have the features and speed to match.

These days the mid- to high-end compact digital cameras (also known as prosumer) are giving the digital SLR cameras a serious run for their money. The popularity of this group has also benefited from the higher price tag placed on the dSLRs, with buyers opting for slightly fewer features at a lower cost.
