If you’re not sure about your future with aviation photography, there’s no better way to introduce yourself then with a decent prosumer. Typically a 3rd of the cost of a full DSLR, add a teleconverter and you might get a couple of seasons or more before you feel the need to upgrade to the full kit and caboodle (or save yourself a bundle and decide it’s not for you after all).
Here’s what I achieved with my first prosumer – a Fuji Finepix S5000:
Of course, all the images have been edited in some way, but that’s normal with both prosumers and dslrs.
(The Fujifilm S5600, mentioned by Archer is a prosumer and is generally speaking a digital camera, similar to a dslr, but which doesn’t offer through the lens viewfinding ability – the image you look at when lining up the shot is displayed on an LCD display).
Anyway, here’s a link to pictures on my website which use the S5000 (an earlier version of the S5600).
