Pros apparently do, perhaps in order to be recognisable as "top dogs" at
events. At a wedding for instance the pro must be recognisable by the
biggest camera.

Well, perhaps, by buying everything again, but even then I'm not sure that
equivalent lenses would be available. A Nikon 27-300mm FF VR? No.

So more a camera for wide-angle work....

Actually, it isn't. The old theory was that a heavier camera damped
down some vibrations more efficiently. Not really the case since
holding the thing sets-up more vibrations in people's bodies than it
damps down. Plus, big slapping mirror systems add vibration
themselves.

Would such a camera be possible? You'd have to rely on the sensor for
the viewfinder and that's a lot of data to be shoveling off of the
chip and onto a screen: up to about 600MB/sec.
