A pro grade camera has nothing to do with a person being a professional photographer.
Indeed. I agree with you completely, Godfrey.
A pro grade camera is a camera built to different (higher) standards of durability and robustness. It's designed to be able to take a beating in adverse conditions and extended heavy use. Pentax has never really made pro-grade SLRs in 35mm or digital, although their top of the line comes close. Nikon's F line and D1, D2, D3 bodies are their pro bodies, Canon's EOS-1v, 1d, etc are their pro bodies.
Godfrey, for your kind of work - is it really necessary for your gear to be able to take a beating??? I am not implying a defense of Pentax or whatever. I am asking because I thought that you were not doing any kind of photography that can be potentially harmful to your equipment...
