Is the 7D or 5D a professional level (wedding photography) still camera?

Or does it not even compare to some of the "dedicated" still cameras in it's price range?

I think the Tamron 28-75 would be the best for me. I know the other __-55 lenses are far superior to the stock 28-55 lens, but I feel the close up potential of the Tamron is worth it.

What lens should someone on a relatively smaller budget invest in?

Which lens would give me the most action? I often just rent out lenses depending on what I will be doing, but I need something other than the stock that I can go to whenever I need to.

Anyone use the A1 and a 7D on the same projects?

Can stock A1 and stock 7D be matched? At least to the extent that it can be passable that only one camera was used?

Definitely agree with you. I actually had that clip running 2x as fast, but I should have made it even quicker.
