I totally agree with everything you've said. I'm pretty comfortable with the functions on the camera as far as getting around somewhat quickly. Again, I need...
The Nifty is the best buy for the money out there. I prefer to use zoom lenses, but you can always zoom with your feet. The problem that I have run into in...
It's unwise to use 2 different bodies in a professional, particularly a wedding environment. You'll be trying to make a change at an important moment and...
Not to dismiss what you said, but many people use 2 bodies, mainly the reason was for different film types, or that the other used a different lens, many would...
I use the 20D and 5D w/o a hitch. I usually use the 10-22 on the 20D for the wide, slight distorted views like balconies in a church, or close-ups of groups...
There is nothing wrong with the 20D per se but it doesn't always play reliably with ETTL flash. Then again, the other bodies don't always do so well either....
Ah, light...a photographers best friend or worse enemy if you don't understand it enough. As complex as these modern electronics are, I'm sure all the ...
I can see your point, but I "usually" don't change lenses at all. I find the combo pretty well covers everything I need to get. The only change I have made...
Very understandable, Mr. Bill. If I get to the point of doing professional photography like wedding photography I would love nothing more than to have two...
Just curious Doodles, how many weddings do you photograph a year? Right now I work a full time job not related to photography, so when and if I get to that...
Totally Dana. I've researched this wedding thing out the wazoo at this point and I've read the same thing. It would be great to rely on a couple of favorite...
Whenever I have a bad photo I always suspect, and usually confirm operator error. Sometimes it just takes a little deducing or experience in learning what the...

This year, 27 so far. I've done probably 500 weddings in the past 20yrs I work FT and do weddings PT (doesn't feel like it though). Doodles ... From:...
Oh boy..... Yeah ok, I admit, I laughed too. Dana ... From: Canon_20D@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Canon_20D@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Doodles Sent: Tuesday,...
This discussion was timely as I just finished my first wedding, and hopefully my last (a family request!). I used a 40D, 17 - 55 f2.8 IS (main tool) and a 30D,...
Did you ever work as a wedding photographer? I did. We carried 3 identical bodies, 6 identical film backs (back in the day we shot 120/220 roll-film) and 3...
I didn't say change lenses, I said make a change to ANY setting. Different bodies do thing differently. Danger Will Robinson. Warning! Warning! Mr. Bill...
Wow, that's a lot of weddings considering having a full-time job. Obviously you've been doing this for quite a while and have become pretty efficient and...
For the most part, brides today, are looking for things yesterday. While I do get album sales, a majority are shootNburn to CD or DVD so they can print. What...
That's what I'm starting to realize is that the popular thing to do is what you describe as shoot-N-burn. With internet, it's easy to find a good digial lab to...
Bill Try fumbling changing out the film in the middle of a shoot, that is when you will find the most precious time to have a second body.... I get you point...
I wanted to thank everyone on their input. I still have a few reservations about the 20D's high ISO quality, but I guess if it being compared to newwer cameras...
For some reason you are completely missing my point. I said you need IDENTICAL bodies if you have multiple bodies. You WANT multiple bodes for a dozen...

I have a friend that has a daughter that started her own wedding photography business shooting with Nikon D300's. Her business got too busy so she asked her...
Interesting! Thanks, Bill. Do you think the 580EX II is any better? Jim Benet ... From: Canon_20D@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Canon_20D@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
