Grand Prize Winner Uses Amateur DSLR

That's right an amateur DSLR camera took the best of show at the LA Times photo contest. The camera of choice is the Nikon D40X. Anytime I see an article about this camera they call it an entry level DSLR or amateur camera. Only problem with this argument is it just ain't true. No camera is an entry level or professional camera. Only the person USING any camera can be called amateur or pro. And now with NO one making any real money as a photographer it's hard to tell who is the amateur or pro except by the quality of the work produced. Funny thing this really has been the only way period.
