For wedding cameras, most married people don't know anything about cameras. It's best to buy a shoulder camera instead of a hand-held camera. Sony's 190, 198 or Panasonic's180,203 are all handheld. Although the picture quality is excellent, people who don't know it won't need it at all. I suggest you buy Sony HD 1000C. Market price 12000 or so, with HDV HD. Compared with 190 and 198, there is a high-definition format, but the price is much lower, and it is shoulder-mounted. Outsiders look more professional. It's still Panasonic's MD 10000, and the market price is about 7000, but Sony's HD 1000C is better.
