[QUOTE="DaveW, post: 59980, member: 7183"] Thanks for the reply. Yes I can see the logic - quality camera = quality tools for the job. It was just a thing that was bugging me because almost to a man/woman they all say "Nikon D3200 or whatever, you wouldn't use it to shoot a wedding but for an entry level camera it is great", or always something like that. Lately, I saw a vid on youtube and the pro actually said, "You can't shoot a wedding with a D5100"! "Can't"??? I would think with the right glass you could do a wedding with a D3100 or an old D70.. Appearance is I think a major factor here as you said about 10% ask what camera you use. Funny story which I have encountered a few times actually - everyone at a party I was at was using their point and shoots and I used a D50 and kit lens. "Wow, you have a proper camera there Dave, it must take better photo's"!! I would imagine at a wedding that those that do know a bit about camera's would say something like, " The pro is using a D300 so will take better photo's than that bloke who has a D3100"! Funny old logic...so it nothing to do with the photographer in their eyes, its the camera! Lol.. [/QUOTE]
