Is 20MP enough for weddings?

20MP is enough, and as long as I get f1. 2 or 1.4 lenses with solid AF in dark receptions, decent noise at ISO 12,800, and good performance with the silent shutter, that’s all I’ll need.

Why do wedding photographers have two cameras?

Carrying two cameras saves time by avoiding the need to waste time changing lenses. Additionally, it stops any dust from entering both cameras, gives the photographer a backup camera in case of a breakdown, and gives photographers the ability to shoot video and still photos at the same time. That’s the quick answer.

What are the best camera settings for wedding photography?

Aperture: f/4.0 for details and close-ups and the formal spouse-and-spouse photos to f/7.1 for a small group shot of the wedding party to f/8.0 for the church and large groups. ISO Setting: 100 for a bright or sunny setting to 800 in a dimly lit church; at a nighttime reception, you may go to 1000 or higher.

How do I choose a camera bag?
