When the guy or gal holding the camera makes a lot of money with it,
it's a pro camera.

I was reading through some posts on one of the Pentax forums that I
follow and ran across a remark about Pentax not making any "Pro"
cameras. At the time I thought to myself, "OK, I'm not a pro, so what?
I like what I have, a *istD, so what the hey?!?" Then I began thinking
(always a problem when you aren't used to doing a thing...) about it
and I found myself wondering, What makes a camera a "Pro" camera? Is
it the construction? Particular features? The lenses? Accessories? The
people that use them? The mythos associated with a camera? The price?
The label the manufacturer applies? So, how does one distinguish a pro
camera from a non-pro camera? The amount the camera charges for its
services????
Just thought I would ask and it is a serious question, more or less.
It is serious in that I am curious. It is not that serious in that
nothing important hinges on the answer....
