Evening,

Heading off to see the Gorillaz in September at the secc, and realise I can't take my 70-200f2.8 or 100-400 with me frown What would be the best point 'n shoot to get for a gig? Something with a decent zoom, and can handle low light would be excellent!

Got an old sony cybershot thing just now, but it would be useless.

Any help would be excellent!

TIA,

Neil.

p.s. no idea about budget just now, but happy to spend more for something nice.

ETA: what about the leica v lux 20? http://www.jacobsdigital.co.uk/index.php?target=pr...

No idea about the camera, but I'm as jealous as fk about the tickets. I tried to get some for the gigs they did at The Roundhouse but was a couple of hours late. :furyous:

You bd!

Dogsey, get a ticket mate, they are touring the UK/Europe this year wink

Nero, looks exactly like the Leica I posted above, will look into this!

M4FFU, can really do with a new p&s, one that would work in a concert would be a bonus!

Was wondering the same thing last night, sat in the front row at a Mark Knopfler gig with a 5D2 in a bag at my feet but respecting their wishes not to use a 'professional' looking camera.

I'm now on the lookout for a compact with decent low light performance and a viewfinder.
