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.

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.

The real point is to examine the reasons for doing it, what are the
expectations and whether one is up to the task. Just try to be
honest is all I'm really saying.

It seems a fully informed wedding party should really make that
choice.
