I've used the IS-3 quite a bit at weddings and the
reaction is always the same in that they have never
seen anything like it before and they just assume that
it is some really exotic piece of pro gear.  Even to
the seasoned pros, if you rubbed off the "Olympus"
label they would think it is something from Contax. 
You can always hide the 35mm cartridges and have a
roll of 120 out to make them think it is medium
format.

This is the problem with shooting Canon at weddings. 
Everyone has a Rebel.

These days with P&S cameras everywhere and worthless
digital gizmogobs that only have a 2-meter flash range
if you show up with anything SLR that has knobs you
are a pro.
