[QUOTE="Just-Clayton, post: 38318, member: 6495"] i did a small wedding over the summer with my 3100. kept about 300 pictures i did. was i prepared for this kind of thing. no! used only the kit lenses i got. used a flash that i had to keep changing the batteries.(missed shots because flash wasnt ready) camera battery held up pretty good. learned a lot. What i have learned is you need a flash that can run off a power pack, a camera that can handle the fast pace and have a back up, some portable lighting so you dont get any lighting problems(remote flash etc.) you should also get a helper to do your foot work after 5hrs of shoot i was tired!! As for DX over FX here is a site i read on the difference [url=http://mansurovs.com/nikon-dx-vs-fx]Nikon DX vs FX[/url]. not understanding this at first i had a hard time with cropping my pictures on the 3100. i couldnt get the same picture at 8x10 as i did with a 4x6. and so i had to make my larger prints 8x12 to match the 4x6 print. which means with a dx you have to stand farther back for a shot and thats where you lose your quality of the shot. (Quote me if im wrong on the last few sentences) Did i enjoy doing the wedding?? Yes! now i have to sit down and decide what to start out with. [/QUOTE]
