I roll my eyes when talk turns to "pro" cameras.
The idea that a "pro" camera MUST have an integrated grip, larger body etc. is really what a moneyed hobbyist "thinks" is "pro".
Amateurs also think pros largely inhabit sports and PJ photography genres where the benefits of a high frame rate, a deep buffer and long lived batteries make a difference. In the real world, the vast bulk of pro photography is done by people shooting subjects that can easily be done with an APS-C camera or even MFT. In addition, pros today are distinguished largely by their youth and poverty. They are not buying $6k bodies from anyone.
Make no mistake, these bodies are halo models for the amateur buyer and the nine other guys who need them for work.
