If you are getting into baptisms and weddings, you might consider what lenses you need, since the light is not always optimal. The 7D will do that kind of work fine, but a good 1.4-1.8 portrait prime (or the 24-70 or 70-200 2.8) will probably make much more difference to your work than a new camera body (though you could then afford the 550D too). I've been working for years just taking 1 body along, because I can't be bothered lugging around the extra weight. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

IMO, ultra wide angles are of limited use for such jobs.
