So I've a bit of a conundrum coming up - I've been asked to shoot a wedding (my first one), and I know I can and will do it - although as I currently only have a 5DS, the low light capabilities are prettttty poor due to the megapixels - I haven't read or seen anywhere yet the low light performance of the IV but I know the III can do exceptionally well in lower light!
The wedding is in a year, so I have time, but do you think it's better to grab a III or wait until real world scenarios of the IV pop up?
Given there's a price difference between a used III and a new IV, that's my only concern.
But yeah, last night I was out shooting in the night with my 5DS and the images were grainy as hell on 1600 ISO Usable, but not great - and I would want to provide the bride/groom exceptional images come their magical day!
Thoughts and opinions welcome.
(most of the time my 5DS is amazing, but at night, it SUCKS)
EDITED TO ADD: Side note - do the LP-6EN batteries work in the 5D mk III? or just the LP-EN?
