Gurcharan ji Iagree with you to some extent.Prosumer(Non SLR ) cameras have improved a lot in recent years. Many a times I feel helpless not having my old Nikon Coolpix 5700 which was sooooo good for flower photography. I remember taking many beautiful shots which I feel were somewhat better than the current SLR which I am using now. Somehow that model has been discontinued and I couldn't figure out any comparable model so far. I think we have to add the camera equipment details in individual profile on our website which will help others for buying decisions.
