I'm lost, what does the type or model of a camera have to do with anything?
Are we playing "mine is bigger than yours" game here?
well actually you don't need the latest D4 or 1Dx to be a pro !
you can make fantastic images even with a small Fuji X-100 if that matters.
it's all up to you, how good you are, how quick you are, how many images you plan to produce in a day.
whenever i say i'm a photographer i'm overwhelmed by people talking endlessly about gear.
but, it's YOU making the photo, not your 8000$ nikon D4 !! but you see, go tell that to the crowd of amateurs and beginners.
last week i was touring in a SE asia famous town with a couple friends, there were hundreds if not thousands of tourists, and 99% of the
japanese had a Rebel or a D80/D90/D300 on their neck, girls as usual having a small Rebel, the ratio being maybe Canon 70% and Nikon 30% ..
anyone was shooting the same temple and guess what, at the end of the day i was there just for fun and having been there 3 times already i couldn't give a sh-it but without any effort i managed to produce maybe 30 or 40 saleable images.
how much $$$ will those japanese tourists make out of their snapshots ? ZERO.
and you know why ? because they're not photographers and therefore they don't "think" as a photographer, as simple as that !
being a photographer means being a visionary, not someone pressing a button !
but once again, go tell that to the huge crowd of gearheads buying a D4 to shoot pics of their girlfriend and their dog !
for the record i shoot with a D700 and a D90 and honestly i would need a third body with a sigma 8-16mm for wide-angles but that would mean 12kg on my neck + 3kg of tripod...
and you see, if i carried the sigma 8-16 i would have made at least a dozen more saleable shots so now i regret it but who cares it was fun with my friends and we drank beers all day.
