20D -> Wedding Photography

[Fir3]

Is there any wedding photographer who already has the new 20d? What changed in illumination? Is the ettl 2 more accurate then the older?
I need some opinions. Thanks !

While I'm not a wedding photog, I can vouch for ETTL-II.
It works VERY well. In addition, the 20D is marvellous for low light photography (it's even better than the 1dMKii)
Just my 2 cents.

I used the 20 D at a wedding a few weeks ago and it handled everything very well...Dean

But did you own a 10d ?

I am not a wedding photographer, but I regularly use flash indoors. I upgraded from a digital rebel (ETTL) to the 20D (ETTL II) and will say that ETTL II is a big improvement as far as I'm concerned. ETTL II isn't fooled as often, and there is no longer the need to use FEL.

Or get a killer light meter................if you are doing this for money, there is nothing quite as accurate as a handheld meter.

Aren't the 20d photos with those brown color tones anymore ?

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.

I used a D60 before the 20D. I thought both did a tremendous job...Dean

I have a 10d and the photos are almost 90% with a brown color tone (mainly at the shadows area)... I'm asking if this "problem" happens in the new 20d...

Never noticed this problem with my DRebel or the 20D, and I'm not aware that this is a common problem. Is it?

I think so... Mainly when you shot indoor w/ flash...

when you shoot a wedding, you don't have a lot of time to run around with light meters in your hand.

I just shot a wedding this weekens with the rebel & 550EX. It did good, with a few issues, I too wonder if the flash metering on the 20d is considerably better. I want another body too.

I tried using a good light meter with my digitals but proper exposure on the meter rarely gave me a well exposed histogram. One might have to calibrate your meter to the camera. I shoot whole weddings without a meter. I use the histogram instead. I don't have any complex lighting to do at a fast paced wedding.

I had a Sekonik L358 and used it a few times, if you lern how to meter you could get by without it. I don't even own mine anymore...Dean
