Bull-Pucky.

Clue #327:
Equipment cost is **not** the reason. Most of the pro's I've
known do not get a sufficient enough "break" on the cost of
their equipment to justify replacing a whole room full of
professional-level Nikon "stuff" (literally ... in one case,
dozens of professional-level cameras and hundreds of
professional-level lenses) ... but have done so because they
are essentially _*not*_ _*competitive*_ unless they have
the best equipment they can possibly obtain.
