Next problem is that concerts are a low light situation, usually also coupled with much movement as well as a fair distance from the subject. All up, that makes it EXTREMELY challenging. The only hope of half decent concert photos are good DSLR cameras and even for those you need very good and very FAST lenses. Little P&S cameras can NOT keep up in that situation, least of all if you're not right in front of the stage. If you can't have a good camera with you, at the very least make sure you learn how to you use what you have, so you can make the most out of it. Read your manual several times, attend a class, read some books on photography - it will help a lot. If I understand your last sentence correctly, you also expect a tiny little Point & Shoot camera to somehow magically produce excellent sound, and in difficult circumstances, no less? It is not going to happen. There is a reason why people who record music for a living have HUGE amounts of very expensive equipment!<br><b>References : </b><br> First of all, you may not be allowed to bring a camera into the venue, I’d check first.
