The DSLRs that pros are buying aren't close to 7k. The ones based on "pro" bodies are under 5K. The D60 & D100 (based on midline consumer bodies) are around 2k. What I've found interesting is that pro Canon shooters who would never have considered using an Elan 7, have snapped up the D30 (same body) as fast as Canon could make them.
