Title: Professional Photographer?
Post by: Uncle Pete on June 04, 2019, 06:43

"If you spend at least $599 on a camera, you're instantly transformed into a professional photographer, and now you have the documentation to prove it," a Canon spokesperson said. "In a lot of professions, you have to take classes or practice for years before you truly become a professional, but not in photography. Just buy one of our budget to mid-range cameras, and you're in."

(ps consider the source when reading news) I thought this was funny. Just like a new batch of professional photographers each year over the holidays when people get new DSLR cameras as gifts.  ;)

Probably just an easier version of their CPS certification in the past, which was solely based on how much gear you bought.
