I had no problem with the 5D and the wedding I shot. Worked like a charm. I had to switch cameras as the one I had started failing after an upgraded to the firmware. The 5D worked great. My point was somewhat hypothetical in that such things happen when under pressure. I never said not to shoot the wedding, that is not my choice to make, but I think it is wise to consider the situation one is putting themselves into and clearly deciding to go ahead or not. If one trusts and knows their gear under the required shooting conditions, great. >If you act like a photographer in charge, people will not tap you on the >shoulder and tell you "hey look over here." Acting has nothing to do with it. An assistant can be helpful when under pressure, especially if you don't have a lot of experience shooting a weddings. >All the negativity and comments telling poor Marco to get them to higher >a pro are BS.

Just try to be honest is all I'm really saying. >As the saying goes, nothing ventured nothing gained. It seems a fully informed wedding party should really make that choice.
