[QUOTE="westmill, post: 59975, member: 9330"] You are totaly correct in your thoughts. IQ wise, just about any modern DSLR is more than enough for a wedding. I even shot a few weddings using an Olympus E1. It was a pro camera yes... but it was also only 5 million pixel and you wouldnt wish to use it higher than 800 ISO. Its more of a question of reliability than anything if you are making a living though. Also, its normaly the case of the high end cameras simply perform better, which makes the photographers job that much easier. A high end camera is likely to focus better in low light, which can be important if your in a dimly lit church etc. Reliability is the biggest thing to me. Its wise to have a back up camera too. I also choose and prefer DX to FX but thats more a personal choice and suits my way of working. You also hit another note... Image ! If a Client is paying for your services they expect reasonbly high quality gear etc. Most wouldnt know the differance or care as long as they are happy with the pics though. I would say about ten % of my clients ask what camera I use. Most just look at the pics though. Weather proofing can be more important than many realise too. Its not so much about shooting in the rain, but, more condensation etc. I once left my camera at my studio overnight. My friend also left his with mine. His was a cheap consumer camera. Next day I went to pick him up and took him over to get his camera back. Mine was right next to his. His was badly condensed and he couldnt see a thing through it. Mine on the other hand was just fine. You pay for functionality and durability with pro equipment. This makes everything easier and better and less stressful. With thought and care though, and with the right knowledge, any photographer worth there salt should be capable of shooting a wedding with any modern DSLR. :D [/QUOTE]
