I have a question to build off of this. I’ve got a 2011 MBP and I’m currently using and external hard-drive in the Thunderbolt port. Will an off-brand monitor with MiniDisplay port work properly through daisy-chaining into the external HD? Does anyone ahve experience with this?

Also, what are people generally using for lenses to shoot weddings? My feeling is that I should use prime lenses and stay away from zoom, since it’s manual zoom anyways. Thoughts?

Thanks for all the input guys. Interesting idea using the EX-1 to capture audio. I suppose I could also use it (or a similar camera) to have a locked=down wide shot I could cut to. I’m still leaning towards the 7D for cost reasons, although the Panasonic cam does look like fun. Also, someone has suggested to me not to go over 16GB for memory cards. Mostly because should something happen to one card, you’ll have more footage spread over the rest. Also, I think they may have suggested that fitting so much video data on a large card could cause corruption problems more easily.
