Some "pro's" might not be able to afford more than a Rebel.I question any pro who doesn't buy the best gear he or she can afford - relative to their photography needs.
There's no excuse for a "pro" who doesn't know what the term "lens speed" means (like in the Judge Joe video). There's also no excuse for a "pro" showing up with slow lenses at an indoor wedding with poor ambient lighting... then copping the excuse "we didn't know until we got there".
The sensor size really doesn't matter in the end (crop vs. full frame). With the proper body and lens combo there's no reason someone couldn't shoot weddings using a D300 or 7D as a "pro" and never to aspire to buy more expensive bodies.Besides, is there a good reason to use a DSLR with a 1.6x or 1.5x "crop factor"... if you are a wedding photographer?
I've met a number of successful wedding photogs who shoot crop bodies and are perfectly content doing so.
