I have never used a professional camera before, and would like to learn from people in this forum.

What's a professional camera? I certainly wouldn't call some of my LF cameras professional! ;)

A professional camera works for its existence. If a camera is owned by an amateur or hobbyist than the camera takes an unprofessional attitude. I hope that helps.

I guess mine are professional quality cameras downgraded to amateur status...

A professional camera is/was a camera designed for professional photographers to use. However, a lot of professionals have shot amateur cameras and made professional images. Professional means you make a living at it.

My cameras (even the professional ones) have all pretty much been welfare bums too. I think that has more to do with us welfare bum photographers than the cameras though. ;)


Welcome to the forum. You can learn plenty on here if you look past the occasional craziness!
