Theory: Camera companies label their cheaper cameras as "entry level" even though they're more than good enough for pros at every level of photography because they want to trick insecure photographers into spending thousands of dollars more than they need to. Marketing talk like "Your full frame mirrorless journey starts here." or "Whatever your skill level!" implying that if you have a FF camera already and you already have a certain skill level, you SHOULD be buying the flagship model instead. You're a real photographer aren't you? The $999 camera is for vloggers and tourists, you better buy the $2999 model!
This is how gearfaggotry is perpetuated.
