But I think my old Sony had that too..... when is your show??? If you are going to buy a new camera then practice and get familiar with it before the show!! Good luck!! I hope you get some good shots!! I'm not sure what your zoom is now on your camera but if you are going to invest in a new camera I would try to get a bigger zoom than 3X unless you are right up front..... although I think Shel's camera is only 3X and hers is pretty good from far away--hers is a Fuji. I don't have luck with my 3X unless I am really close to the stage..... I used my 12X from 5th row at the Detroit show.... they are posted in the More Detroit show photos thread on like page 3 now if you didn't see them......
The ATL show is 39 days away! I'm going to ask my step mom if she can let me borrow her really good camera for the concert instead of buying a new one. My camera is a 3X, and I would love to get good pictures, so I'm going to try that route. Thanks again!
