Which Pentax Camera considered as Professional

**mikesbike** · 11-05-2018, 11:37 AM - **1 Like**

Well, at a number of weddings I've attended I noticed the camera's and even the lenses being used by the certified professional photographers working out of a studio, were not of the very highest level in the brand used! But obviously good enough for the purpose. Of course they were not using amateur-oriented models either. Sometimes when shooting over numerous hours of work, weight is a factor in league with high IQ, strong build, and a fine controls system.

Is it the one with the professional photographer standing behind the camera, the correct answer?

Wow, an almost 7 year old thread.

Well, after 7 years, Pentax has added some even more-professional, professional models to their older professional models.
