...Also be careful and view the guidelines over the use of cameras in the event, some venues DO NOT ALLOW any camera at all and will search you on entering, some events are just black listed for no flash photography and the staff are awesome at catching you (M.E.N arena)

We've got a Lumix TZ7 (older model of the 10) and our concert pix are fab.....see example below (no editing of picture at all)

Wouldn't it depend on where you're sitting/standing ?

The greatest camera on earth may struggle if your at the back of the crowd in Hyde Park or other large venue.

In the front row it would be easy.

Also size of carrying etc. is definitely worth considering.

WE used one of these for a greenday concert and the video was a bit better than my above post but the audio was a bit poor (and this was a outdoor event) compared to the above one being indoor.

I go to concerts fairly frequently and can't remeber ever being asked if I had a camera in recent years - most people have a camera on their phone anyway. I can remember years ago though when you used to get searched before being let into the venue...particularly at Sheffield Arena!! No-one seems to bother these days. Just had a look through my recent tickets and there's nothing on them about taking pix at all.

 

We went to see Dancing on Ice at Sheffield Arena earlier this year, on the way in we were told you are okay to use camera, so I was delighted, having taken my DSLR. However during the second half (I'd already taken a substancial amount of photos) a steward approached and said I couldn't use my camera because it had a large lens! Having said that I'd been there 2 weeks previously to see Steps and had used same camera and lens all the way through.

It might be worth getting what is considered a bridge camera, has more semi manual settings available, meaning you'd be able to shoot in lower light without a flash and may also counter the bright lights on the stage. I use a Minolta Dimage Z2 when not using my Canon DSLR.
