Ah, but what if the pro is taking family snapshots on his day off? Is he still a pro? And would the camera he uses be a pro camera? What if he uses the same camera to take those snapshots as he does whilst working? Would it only be a pro camera while "on the job", but an amateur camera on Sunday at the zoo?
OTOH, what if he takes family snapshots, but years later, sells one of those shots? Would the camera be an amateur camera, but ~suddenly~ turn into a pro camera? What if he ~was~ an amateur when he took the snapshot, but years later, turned into a pro, then sold the photo? What's the body then? That should be enough to chew on for now... <vbg> -frank (in a devilish mood tonight) Peter Alling wrote: > That's easy, professional cameras are the ones professionals use, amateurs > use amateur > cameras. > > At 05:24 PM 12/10/2002 -0600, you wrote: > >I've got one!
