Q: This is a joke, right?
A: Why??? One of these point and shoot cameras has a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens - you can't get better than that. The others have lenese made by the manufacturer - Canon, Yashica etc, etc. Same glass and manufacturing as their more expensive big brothers. So, why can't you take wedding shots with these cameras??? Could it be that you own a $3000 Nikon with all the extras on it? And can't bear to think you paid too much?? I have 45 years experience of all types of professional photography behind me and if I can't take good quality pictures with a point and shoot camera, then there is something wrong with me not the camera. I have often been asked, "if I buy a Nikon or Canon would I be able to take photos as good as you?" I always answer, "if you were to buy the same paint brushes as Leonardo de Vinci used, would you be as good a painter as he was?" Its not the gun that kills people, its people who kill people. Likewise its not the camera that takes good photos, its people who take good photos. Moralising is not what I do normally, but your stupid question warranted this outburst. Next time, try first, speak later. Good shooting.
