If you are planning to shoot weddings for a living, or get paid to do it, remember this: you are shooting for their most important day in their lives. Don't mess about and compromise image quality with a MFT, when you and me both know FF still gets the best results no matter how you look at it.

Yes, the MFT is a great system and I'm completely in love with it. But it has its compromises, MFT hasn't matured enough yet to be shooting in low-light and if the couple asks for shots in low light or something, you need to have a FF camera ready.

I'm not saying it's impossible to shoot weddings with the MFT, but be responsible and always have a FF camera with you. I know there are quite a few wedding photographers out there using MFT cameras, but I can asure you they always have a FF camera as a backup, just incase.

you can absolutely shoot a wedding all m4/3. i did a flashless low light wedding shoot on an em5 and results were superb. IQ is not the issue, nor low light performance if using the OMD. what matters is do you require the depth of field of FF and do you require tracking.
