Depending on what you do with the camera, it's actually worth it though - at least for the initial amateur->pro jump. Better/faster autofocus (usually), fully weather-sealed body (!), larger sensor (depending on what you need), dual-native ISO, etc etc Plus other features that are technically still convenience, but can matter a great deal to a pro. - Example1: Panasonic G85 has a couple reconfigurable buttons, but on the GH5 nearly every physical button can be configured to whatever setting you want. - Example2: Dual memory-card slots for instant backups (some prosumer cameras only have 1 slot) However, I agree that many salespeople will try to sell pro gear to a hobbyist when they really don't need it.
