I'm surprised that this seems to be the general consensus for weddings. I guess it's the low light performance being as free of noise as possible? Over FPS burst and reachMy opinion is that the DX cameras including the D500 are not appropriate for a main camera for weddings or any pro work. That does not mean that you can't do a good job with a DX camera though. I have shot some great work with my d7100 but I think if you are going to call yourself a pro you really need pro gear if this is what you plan to do for a living.
This i just my opinion though.

Yeah, sort of... I still love my DX kit and if I had to shoot an event (e.g. wedding) with one I certainly could; I'd just much prefer to use an FX setup.[MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION] - One of those, once you go Full-Frame, you don't go back to crop, scenarios? The FX photos and blur ARE what really grabbed me when I first started using FX. Hrm
I did browse through your Flickr last night and I thought everything was quite solid. The gear just gives us confidence really ... : )Yeah, sort of... I still love my DX kit and if I had to shoot an event (e.g. wedding) with one I certainly could; I'd just much prefer to use an FX setup.
In all fairness, though, it could also be that I'm simply not that good a photographer.
Thanks for the inspirational post. : )!!You can most certainly do weddings with an APS-C camera as your main camera. Just ask Kevin Muillins: Wedding Photographer - Award winning Kevin Mullins & Award Winning Wedding Photographer - Kevin Mullins. A full-time, multi award winning pro, who uses nothing but APS-C cameras.
You can get better bokeh portraits with FX, but no matter what camera you use, it's more about your posing, lighting, and creativity. Here's a wedding album that came in the top four in a national contest of the Wedding and Portrait Photographers Association. This entire wedding album was shot and edited on an iPhone. So, no matter what camera you use, study up on poses, candids, and lighting:

Oh gosh, I remember the first time watching this. I could never get into Zack's videos because he annoys me when he starts flicking his fly swatter and making noises. He was worse than "The Angry Photographer" whom always claims things are "The Tits".Crop or Crap
