Prosumer vs DSLR for copying slides

Greetings! I want to copy slides [few thousands] after projecting the
slides on the screen. Which will be better? DSLR has one problem - one
can not see the pictures in the LCD as one can see in the Prosumer P&S
before taking the pictures. DSLR has the advantage of bigger image
sensors? What is your opinion? With thanks.

It realy depends on if you already have one of the two cameras that you
describe.
If you have one, try it and see how it goes (it won't cost you
anything, except time).
Otherwise a better suggestion is to get a scanner, there is less
shot-to-shot setup, you don't need a projector or screen and so you can
just step away from the computer if you are sick of digitising for the
day without having to put them away.

A slide scanner will outperform either of these options.

Hello,

Another option would be to use a full-frame DSLR and a slide-copier barrel.
I have used this way with an 1Ds MkII, and it worked pretty well (and faster
than a typical slide scanner).

Of course, you must have extremely clean slides (ICE is very useful in a
slide scanner).
