[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 59990, member: 3571"] here is an answer simple, and short. if everybody/anyone can shoot a wedding with an entry level camera, the business itself would be dead, and everyone would be a "pro". In fact, this is EXACTLY what is happening right now, slowly. Every tom, dick and harry who goes out and buys a DSLR immediately thinks they are a pro, and can hang with the big boys. WRONG. YES, TECHNICALLY speaking, you COULD shoot a wedding with an entry level camera. But compare the quality, and versatility to the same wedding shot by a pro, with pro gear and the difference is HUGE. It also comes down to knowing how to use the camera...a d700+ shot in manual by someone who knows how to use it, will always succeed over a d3100 in auto by a schmuck. I cant tell you how many consumer grade camera owners i have come accross that bought their entry level dslr, with false expectations and high hopes. I know a d3000 owner who had all the money in the world to spend, and opted for the 3000 because "its no different". And another who cant figure out for the life of her, why her pics dont look as sharp and colorful as mine, and they should because she has the same kind of camera. Plus, it would look lame...i mean, a professional photographer at a wedding holding the same camera as aunt Edna. anywho....yes, technically you can shoot a wedding with a point and shoot camera if you want....should you? NO. [/QUOTE]
