Adjective: of a quality often acceptable to both professional and consumer users. Esp. referring to electronic equipment (camcorders, tape decks, etc.) I wanted something nicer than a $500 consumer camcorder, but I couldn't afford a $50,000 professional camcorder, so I bought a $2,000 prosumer camcorder.
