Do you need to be a professional walker to wear more than one pair of shoes? Not really, you have more than one pair of shoes because different shoes are suited to different purposes, and the same thing applies to cameras.

I have a good digital camera because it is convenient and great for shooting action shots. I have a couple 35mm film cameras because film still makes better images than digital, and having 2 cameras allows me to shoot 2 different kinds of film at the same time. I use the large format camera because it is fun, and I like to be able to make contact prints.

I'm not really a professional photographer. Most "pros" don't make that much money. I have published some photographs in travel guides, and I've won prizes in competitions, but for me it's still something which I do for fun.
