As far as I'm concerned any camera can do professional work.

Good post - shows people that any camera can be used for professional work. I think the Digital Rev channel on youtube did a series of giving professional photographers the dodgiest camera's ever to see what they could come up with. The results were amazing.

As long as you have the eye and the imagination, any camera is good enough.

if the photographer knows how to do

In the hands of a professional, a quaker oats box set up as a pinhole camera can capture a good image. The key word is professional. They just make it work.

I've found I love the challenge of using a smaller sensor. Since they are less forgiving, you are pushed to the edge of your abilities and must maximize the gear simultaneously.

In a field of perfect light and pretty flowers, anything can in capable hands. IMO pro equipment is defined by being able to push all possible thresholds with fairly consistent quality, to help catch that possible second of a moment. Otherwise its just your ability to sell whatever it is you have/make.
