A guy once asked me if I had any nude photos of my wife ... when I said no .... he asked if i wanted to BUY any ... !!! (I told him I would trade them for my photos of HIS wife ... !!!)

Yeah .... NOW ya tell me ....

Before IS, I seldom had problems with the 1/FL rule, even as slow as 1/30s w/ 50mm. In the OP's case, I would suggest he use a MONOPOD and but w/ IS switched "off" , and minimum (auto?) ISO (& ...

Nice examples Sky ... but one (possible) suggestion and one question ... Did you try also blurring the (closer-yellow) rails at the top also? I am thinking that could also have "isolated" the ...

Electronic components can fail at any time for several reasons, however they can also theoretically last forever , (if not overstressed either electrically or mechanically). But ALL "mechanical" ...

A new camera ... or a WOMAN ???

I don't think any of the above responses were written by an actual pro-WEDDING-photographer, (except mine above). I have been doing weddings since 1968 and also owned a photo-lab where I did many ...

I fully agree ONLY if they are short of money. But I do think wedding photos are MUCH more valuable than the prior poster.  I think wedding photos are looked at more often than you think, but often ...

I prefer fixed lens ... with "LEAF" shutters ..

With AF-A, it can "change" unexpectedly ... so perhaps better to use AF-S and then it will "lock" and won't move. So possibly better if she is not moving towards/away from you. They give you ...

Uh Oh ... Teddy used a "4" letter word ... (a 4-letter "F" word) ... naughty naughty naughty And evidently he didn't know that the correct word has "7" letters ... So not only "naughty" ... he does ...

With todays cameras -- ALL can provide IQ often indistinguishable between them. The biggest factor is YOU, and also the LIGHTING, and TIME. I have waited hours, and in one case 4 "YEARS" to get ...

I agree that was a very comprehensive if different techniques that you may want to experiment with.

Yes, the 6500 is clearly much better, and it seems that cost is not a big factor to this OP since he is considering a (even more expensive) FF. But I still think he should think strongly whether he ...

A very good post Kelly .... +1

The "camera" has very little to do with the quality of your images.  Most all cameras today can do just fine. The only advantage of a larger sensor is that you can use higher-ISO at night. It also ...

Do you want to "carry" and have to take "time" to change lenses, (possibly losing the moment and the subject/animal moves before changing) ??? Or would you prefer a "continuous" zoom from a ...

I wonder if PENTAX/RICOH might, if they see a future in "MirrorLess", that would be a quick way to get into it.  (Their dSLR's are not selling well anyway.)

Maybe not, but I don't think a FF, (or even DX/APS-C) is his best choice, (and could be a WORSE choice). An m4/3 probably would be IF he wants to (soon) buy/use "fast" prime lenses ... If not -- ...
