Actually I know quite a few painters, most do at least some studies using photographs as a starting point. Those who have stayed with SLR's tend to discuss Lenses and Bodies, (equipment) or F stops and shutter speeds, (technique), with the best of them, so I would say in this case they fall into the category of photographer. Those who've gone digital tend to use medium resolution P&S cameras and, tend to talk about home brewed beer, gourmet coffee, national, and international politics respectively. Never had a conversation as to which sable brush was better for oil vs. water color etc.
