Re: canon t4i or Nikon 5200
Can't speak to the Nikon, but having used Canons, the T4i is a nice camera, depending on what your standards are and what you need it for. Ease of use, it is great.

Re: Why weddings?
I come from the other disrespected (often rightfully so) wedding profession: DJ. I've been a pretty good wedding DJ for 15 years (500-600 weddings) and for about two years we were looking at getting...

Re: Are we becoming obsessed with quality?
Isn't there a pretty famous photog, shooting for fashion mags, who uses an old point and shoot film camera? He knows his camera and it's limits well enough that it's never a problem.

Re: Which canon should I get
Here is what a T3i shooting in faithful looks like. If price is an issue, go grab the Canon 50mm f/1.8 for $108 as your first prime lens for shooting in low light.
