Canon lens and flash instant rebates are now in effect through January.

Most are pro-series "L" lenses. But there are a few of the more-affordable midrange lenses on the list. Most notably, the new 18-200mm and the ultra wide 10-22mm.

Doesn't "prosumer" usually imply a camera with a fixed lens?

#3, there is no "standard terminology" for any of this non-sense.
g, I use Pentax dSLR and they are clearly "entry and expert amateur" products. They don't even bother with the "Pro" marketing at all, even though some of their standard features on their sub-$1K products are beyond what Canon/Nikon do on any semi-pro products without going $3K+ in a body.
It's all marketing non-sense in any case. I proudly tell people I buy "amateur Pentax equipment" and am an "aspiring amateur." At the same time, I've already had a pair of Canikians mouthing off about "paying extra" for their choice of a Tokina "AT-X 'Pro'" lens, which I quickly pointed out were the exact same optics as my Pentax DA* glass (from the same fab).
It gets old in general to me.
