I would not agree :).  There have been a prosumer class, but now it is 
dying.  DSLRs killed it due to higher image quality and  more profits 
for a manufacture due to interchangeable lens.

Pro compacts for amateurs? Can you remember CURRENT compact cameras with 
RAW? Minolta is not in the market. There are no Sony compacts with RAW. 
I can recall Canon G9 - not so small and with awful image (12MP on a 
small sensor) from any strict POV. Nikon? No. Ricoh Caplio G100 - they 
put too much MP on a small matrix too plus it costs way too much. That 
is the whole list. Dot.
