A professional is a person who is paid to undertake a specialized set of tasks and to complete them for a fee.

What is a semi-professional? Part time? Half as good? Half the price? All three?
One who does get quite such a stiffy as seeing his photo printed in a mag?

Part time IMO.
I was being sarcastic.

Some news on Canon rumors that might be reasonable in terms of timing...
"Finally!
I’ve received good info that production samples of the Canon EOS-1D X have begun shipping to preselected lucky photographers.
I’m told it’s for Euro 2012 and Olympic photographers, so they can get familiar with the camera.
Things are still listed as June 2012 for shipping to the rest of us." http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/05/canon-eos-1d-x-has-begun-shipping-to-a-select-few-cr2/

inkiboo would love to hear your feedback on it when you have given it a proper test.
This camera is the only thing stopping me switching to the dark side, and I want it to be good so I get an order in

My pleasure or, in this case, pain...
Did I mention that with the 1Dx you can now adjust micro focus on zoom lenses at both, wide and tele?...

If you've got a slap on the wrists Gerard you should point to the fact your photos were huge in me hitting the order button.
You didn't mention the micro adjustment but I did read this (maybe on here) which was something I thought was a neat touch, wasn't sure if the 5diii could be set to do this too?
One thing I have not found out is the sync speed for flashes (studio etc) my mkiii is 1/300 obviously this being full frame I suspect it may be back to 1/200 but any info would be useful.

According to the 1DX manual the following applies:
"The camera can synchronize with non-Canon compact flash units at 1/250 sec. and slower speeds. With large studio flash units, since the flash duration is longer than compact flash units, set the sync speed within 1/125 sec. to 1/30 sec. ..."
