I am looking for a nice prosumer digital camera of under US$1,000.00. What is the best on the market?

I already have a pro digital so the prosumer will be my back and to take when a pro is not possible.

I have to go with the Nikon D70. You can never go wrong with Nikon.

For a great prosumer digital camera, take a look at the Nikon D50 or D70. Both are priced under $1,000, but they both retain that SLR body feel.

I own a Fuji S5200, which is "SLR-like". It's much cheaper than a true d-SLR. It includes RAW mode, which takes fantastic pictures. I guess the answer to your question really depends on how much you emphasize the "pro" in "prosumer".

Pentax K10D

Best $1,000 spent.

I'm thinking you mean a non-SLR, since you say you already have a "pro digital." The Canon G7 is pretty well reviewed, although I have never used one.
