'New' camera purchase!
Found a deal on Fleabay that I couldn't resist, Olympus E-3 camera body, used, but with all accessories that you'd get as new! Amazing service, ordered at 10.30pm on Thursday night - postman arrived Saturday morning with it! It's 4yrs old, has had just over 16,000 shutter actuations (found out how to check this) & everything seems nice & tight, as I'd expect from Oly. My 400 has done over 19,000 shutter actuations & is still tight - I just fancied an upgrade.......perhaps I'll become a bit more pro with a pro camera!
Dilemma - try to get used to the E-3 in 3wks and use it for my friend's wedding (I am the photographer - OMG) or use the E-400 as used to it & how to get the best from it....
Any ideas, comments or suggestions on the wedding photography bit very much appreciated - starting to feel a bit nervy..................

then you can be the second shooter and get some good training. I'm sure your friend would appreciate and it will be much better experience for you, and less stressful. ThatNikonGuy wrote:

Thanks both, but not an option in this case.
