I think it's silly to classify any camera as suitable or not suitable for professional work based on isolated performance specifications. For me the relevant metric is "can I sell the picture?" and based on some recent sales the typical DSLR user is spending way too much money on photo hardwear. Full-frame, half-frame, APS-C, m4/3, whatever... it hardly matters. The better quality image will appeal to a broader range of markets (and is more likely to put a smile on my face), but grainy/noisy extreme crops made with an old 10MP crop-sensor camera and a 1970-spec lens sell too.
