Under that definition, you are correct. Actually, in Canon's case,
the "Print Button" is probably the defining feature that sets it
apart from the low-rent masses.
Seriously, I do consider a camera, such as the 20D/30D/40D/5D to be a
"Pro Camera". To say otherwise would be like saying that back in the
film days, only medium or large format cameras were "pro cameras".
And, no, I don't consider the "use" or "user" as the defining aspect
of pro-worthiness. I define a "pro camera" as one that doesn't get
in your way, it delivers what is asked of it, and is adequately
reliable and robust to be used without worries. Yup, the 5D does
qualify. For my own personal style of shooting I may determine that
a weathersealed camera is desirable, but this shouldn't be any more
of a determining factor than 10 fps and clean ISO 12800 performance.
Would I consider my A1 to be a pro camera? Within certain
boundaries, yes.
