[QUOTE="emm2600, post: 240418, member: 15763"] I think genre/market is highly important when considering equipment. Like others have said - the business side of things. What are you shooting, what's quality does it need to be, horses for courses et all. An exotic telephoto lens + D4 may be needed for high end professional sports, a Tilt/Shift + wide angle + D800 for large-print architecture work - but slap a nifty fifty on any $200-300 used/refurb 10mp dx body and you could do relatively fine for general portrait reportage that will only ever appear in small print or on the internet. Also i remember reading an article somewhere about a photographer who worked a busy tourist/leisure spot with a Polaroid instant camera charging ~$10 for shots making hundreds of dollars profit per day. Ultimately being a 'professional' is what you make of it. [/QUOTE]
