I am by far no expert i would barely call myself a Novice if i am honest. I have been slowly learning bits for a good two years now and its been slow, although i havent had much time lately to do any learning or practicing.
Can you really call yourself a semi-pro, i think you are kind of right in saying that you do not necessarily need hundreds of thousands of pounds of gear, but to say you are a semi pro and you use a compact camera, surely you have been misled.
Why would so many thousands pro togs be spending that much amount of money on gear if they could use a compact camera and be called a pro?
Dont mean to sound harsh but either this is a joke or you have been seriously misled.
You can take very good photos with only basic kit.
Pro's buy all that expensive kit because it makes their job easier.
Wide maximum apertures for low-light use.
Expensive optics for best image quality.
Flashguns for creative lighting or low-light use.
Spare bodies should something happen to one on the day. etc etc
