Actually any mid range DSLR camera is good for wedding photography. It's the lens that is important and the photographer.

I have done wedding photography with Canon 20Ds, 40Ds, 5Ds, and 5DIIs. They all worked pretty well. While the newer models are better in low light, and have much nicer LCDs and menu organization, I think it would be hard to go wrong with any Canon or Nikon DSLR that is at least 8mp. If it were me I'd look for a cheap body (or two, you'd be crazy to shooting weddings without a back-up) , and spend the money on fast lenses.

Ha! It seems like the space shuttle compared to the mechanical film cameras I used to shoot weddings with. I'd take a couple of 60Ds over the Nikon FM2ns, Hasselblad 500c/m, and Pentax 67II I used to shoot weddings with any day. If you listen to the gear geeks you'd think no exciting photography was ever done before the latest and greatest upgrade. :)

Thanks for the responses.I know of two wedding photographers using Canon 400d's,and their clients seem very happy with the results.What do you guys think of the 600d?I should take your advice,and buy the 600d body instead of the 60d,and use the money saved towards getting a better lens.
