[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 151140, member: 9521"] The real difference is in the build. So-called "pro" cameras are built to withstand a great deal of punishment compared to a consumer level camera, not simply FX vs DX. The D300 is considered a "pro" camera due to its build not its sensor size. These cameras come with better moisture seals, stronger bodies and more durable connections. That is really what a "pro" vs. non-pro camera is about. And just like Nikon lenses, Nikon does not state definitively which is a "pro" and which is not a pro camera, for good reason. Professional photographers use various cameras for a number of reasons. People should avoid semantics and concentrate on their personal wants and needs in a camera rather than what someone else may think of them. A D3000 can be a "pro" camera if you're making money with it, just as much as a D4 can be. The "pro" designation is all in the mind. [/QUOTE]
