Is your camera a "Professional Camera"?

Exactly, an experienced photographer can make a polaroid take great photos. The camera is just an extension of the photographers skill set.

Yep! That is what decides what is professional or not. Far too many people fall for the manufacturers advertizing departments hype that it is the equipment, and not the shooter that makes great images. According to the Nikon ad department my D300 is a Prosumer body. So I guess that makes me a prosuming photographer.
