[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 218927, member: 9240"] Before I answer your question, let me point out something. You wrote the following (I've removed the question about processors)... I cannot help but read this is if you're asking, "If I want to be a photographer with my own style, what style should that be?" I get that as a commercial photographer you don't want to produce something that's not going to please the public, but at the same time, as a photographer don't you want to produce something that makes sense to you? There are thousands of generic wedding photographers out there capturing moments in glaring clarity, and they do a fine job but are more or less interchangeable. If you love the look and feel of film and can develop a workflow that uses film emulators to produce images with a look and feel that can be recognized as your work, it's going to be more pleasant work for you, and it will also find its own foothold in the market. Opinions are like @$$holes - everyone has one. 36MP's make for big files, and that in and of itself can be an issue when you're dealing with over a thousand captures per wedding, but if you can tackle that hurdle then the rest is all about having the tools you need to produce results for your clients - and at least one of them is going to want that photo blown into a huge wall portrait, and that's where you'll be happy for the numbers. I'm personally not crazy for film emulators, but I've personally never spent a moment thinking about the type of film I put in my camera even when I shot film. It was snapshots, vacation pics and capturing concerts and the like, and as long as it was fast enough in dark areas I was cool with it. But when you know how a particular film helps express a mood or capture a certain light isn't it great to know that you have [B][I]every possible option[/I][/B] available to you after the fact?! So while I can't help you with what type to go with, it seems to me that it's more a question of "which one(s)?" for you rather than "should I?". [/QUOTE]
