What Makes a Camera "Pro"?

There are no "pro" cameras, only "pro" photographers.
The Hasselblad 500c/m and Pentax 67II I used to use in my work wouldn't hold up to the definition provided by April Photography above, yet I think many professional photographers would consider them quite capable, professional level gear.
I have my own "pro" rule. It has to feel good in my hands. Then it's a pro level camera.

to that.Ford used to put a GT emblem and fancy wheels on a car and call it a "Sports Car". Didn't go any faster or handle any better but people bought that "Sports Car". Didn't make the driver any better either.(Ford was not alone in this this but was notorious for it).
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I had mentioned somewhere before that one of my customers has a high-end Canon with some really nice glass. I have seen some of his shots...Baydream wrote:
