Canon power shot A640

Finally I don't feel alone anymore. 

I bought a Canon 40D last year when I had trouble getting into IS.
I always have the Powershot G7 in my purse.

I like mine,it works fine for my type of photos. I don't have a problem getting my images accepted at any of the sites.

You are certainly not. A640 is my main camera. An awesome piece of equipment!

I am in doubts so I didn't vote

2/3 of my portfolio was made with Canon EOS 350D
1/3 of my portfolio is made with Canon EOS 40D which I currently use
I am just about to get a new Canon EOS 5D Mk II (hopefully this weekend)

They all are in different categories. Which one to take into account?

If you're sure you'll get the 5D Mk 2 then vote professional dslr. That'll be your main camera in a few days. 

LE: congrats!! 

Got it now in my hands Thanks!

Started with a Nikon 8700, then went to a D70, then a D200, needed to sell the D200 and now using a D70 and it still gets the job done. Mostly wildlife and nature. I know i need to upgrade but i really like my D70.

Canon 30D with a couple of L lenses.

What is a prosumer? A professional consumer? A consuming professional? These are all words and have no meaning.

For most paid photographic work, I use Fuji S3 and S5, but for stock, I prefer the Nikon D80, since it has more resolution. Does that make me an amateur when I shoot stock and a pro when I shoot with the Fujis?

I'm using a 4x5 inch field camera.

epixx, prosumer is something the camera reviewer coined. in camera sales they "distinguish" you as a user of "pro" DSLR if you bought the most expensive      prosumer is the one between consumer and pro. i believe something like my 14MP Pentax k20D is in that category, while my other camera the old battlehorse 7MP Olympus e300 is consumer.
just salesmen talk. ya, i used that too as i sell cameras during the seasonal and festive periods.
make more commission selling pro , and naturally everyone wants to "take better photographs," so they "have to get a pro camera".  not my line, but actually a quote from one of my younger colleagues last christmas.   
he asked me," which pro camera should i get? my photographs are so lousy with my consumer camera". i told him, " i don't know, maybe you should ask someone who uses a pro camera!"

Good question.  How does my Canon 400D qualify?

I am not a professional consumer, I am very savvy.

Started w/Pentax K10D and upgraded to a Nikon D700 that is currently on its way back to factory for repairs

Prosumer DSLR, although on occasion I use 35mm, medium and large format film, as well as a Kodak c613.

400D is indeed positioned as a "consumer" camera
