What's the best camera for a pro? Of course the one that best suites the job at hand. But if you put a gun to my head and force me to give a more general answer then I'd say look at these 3 cameras: You need great low light performance / You shoot portraits: Canon 5D MK III (http://goo.gl/ofiYVw) You are on a budget / You shoot sports: Canon EOS 7D (http://goo.gl/Uyeuox) You have deep pockets / You shoot everything: Canon ESO 1D X (http://goo.gl/ZmUyy2) Photo: The awesome Sarathustra photographed with a Leica S series camera.
