Photography Question

D300 Wedding photography


I've used my Digital rebel with 420Ex Flash to photograph a wedding and experienced underexposure issues....and I'm aware of the lack of exposure compensation....I'm planning on doing some more weddings, and I'd like the 20D...but can I make the rebel work until I make some money to step up to the 20D. Thanks for any and all suggestions !!

  There is "hack" firmware that will enable FEC (and several other useful features) on the 300D/Digital Rebel.
2 I know of that are widely used are
Wasia (aka "Russian Hack")
and
UnDutchables

  I've heard of this....but I guess I'm a little apprehensive. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for your suggestion !

  what UE issues are you having? the rebel is capable of taking decent photos. I wouldn't use one at a wedding, but in a pinch, I have it as a 4th layer back-up and wouldn't hesitate for a moment to use it, and expect great performance.

are you new to using digital? I ask because most people who are new to digital have problems with exposure. the 20d will perform the same way for you.

  I've been doing digital for about 5 years....I've used the D30 and the Powershot G2. I had good luck with those....but the rebel seems to "miss" and I end up using photoshop to correct the image...It seems if I "bounce the flash" it works better....but straight on shots....it appears to shut the flash off too early...Thanks for your input !
