Not that any of the answers above me are wrong, but I don't think that's what you are looking for.
The kid taking your ticket at the venue defines a professional camera. The obvious ones are SLR's with interchangeable lenses. The questionable ones would be something like a Canon S3-IS, Sony DSC-H7, or anything similar in size and appearance. It depends on the opinion of the ticket taker. The "safe" ones are the point and shoot cameras that you can stick into your shirt pocket.

In the hands of a skilled professional photographer any camera becomes a "professional camera."
The working pro needs a camera with interchangeable lenses, full manual control (when needed) and a rugged build quality. He/she is so familiar with the camera that using it becomes as natural as using a knife and fork.

The person behind it. "Professional" pictures have been taken by many people with varying equipment. A good (usually expensive) camera helps of course.

Professional use them.
Such as wedding photographers and journalists. At least a Canon 5D or 1D/1DS and then the price steeps up.

Generally a better and more rebust build quality with weather and dust sealed enhancements.
