Is this a good camera to use for wedding and to take pictures?

The D70s is very good for both. However, for low-light situations I strongly suggest a good flash. I shot four weddings with it using Nikon's SB-800 flash and got excellent results. If you're new to DSLRs, use "Auto" for everything except ISO. Adjust the ISO as needed for the particular lighting you're shooting in. I also suggest a photo editor such as Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop to bring out shadows, cropping, and adjusting white balance as needed.

I'm not sure because this is my first canon. I typically am a Nikon customer. So far I am extremely happy with this camera. It photographs very well in low light situations which is what I wanted it for so I'm guessing the well lit pictures will also be excellent.

My suggestion as a photographer is to skip out on the cheaper camera and spending more on a intuitive camera if you can. I use this camera for snap shots. I cannot really depend on it for quickness.

Yes, it is a good camera for macro super close up shots. I use it for close-up shots all of the time. It is also good at low light shots of people.

I agree with the other answers given. If you learn the features and how to correctly use this type of camera, you shouldn't be unhappy with your photos! I've had the camera for about 6 months now and although it is definitely a learning experience (it is not the same as using a point and shoot digital camera at all) it gives me fantastic quality images. I am actually hoping to start my own photography business using this camera.

Yes, it is wonderful. High end features without extreme complication. You can add features as you desire or feel comfortable and also just use as a better point and shoot with better resolution and low-light response than you ever will see in a point and shoot.

For the most part this is a point and shoot, basic camera with great features and picture quality comes out excellent, its definitely better than the compact canon cameras. I would say this is a step up...

I shot weddings all day with this camera. In some cases i have to bump up the iso in low light situations but it processes the image wonderfully. I also shot concerts, worst lighting you can think of and the D800E makes it happen. You won't have any issues with this camera.

It is a really good camera for taking shots like those. I mean it isnt a professional camera so dont expect professional pictures but it takes very clear and amazing pictures. You have to buy your own SD card though:)

I primarily use this camera for sporting events and landscapes with a tripod. It captures incredible photos. It can also be used for studio portraits with great lighting. I would say the cameras you already have would be better for holidays and family events. Keep in mind that that this camera body is about 20 years old now, so the technology is out dated. If you want a professional Canon 1D body, I would recommend you look into the Canon 1D Mark III or IV depending what you are able to afford.

This was my second DSLR and before this I had Nikon. Picture quality is better then Nikon and it has Image stabilization (IS)although most of lenses now a days have vibration reduction (VR) but it is not same ( IS is better then VR). And also it is water resistant so I believe it is ideal for your need.I love my camera.

For a first try at a wedding? Possibly. I, myself, would prefer to use a large aperture zoom (like a 17-55mm f2.8 or 24-70mm f2.8) for the ceremony and many other activities of the wedding and reception. This is due to not having to move as much compared to a fixed lens like the 50mm. For portraits and the like the 50mm f1.4 is absolutely brilliant.

Absolutely. But not if you need a big zoom. Best picture taking point and shoot I've ever owned, and it's not close. Particularly in low light and action shots with plenty of light.

Yes. It's a good camera in low light conditions. You can take the ISO very high and the auto focus does well in low light conditions. Good luck!

I'll be honest, I don't recommend this camera. You could find a canon for similar price, better quality. This camera is outdated.
