I'm needing a digital camera for a few gigs/concerts I'm going to soon. I was wondering which camera would best suit it, and it not being overly expensive. It's just for a few photographs of the bands playing ( blink 182 ;D ).
Thanks. (:

Your ideal camera is going to depend on whether you want a small point and shoot or a big DSLR camera. Either way I'd recommend Canon, I find their products to be very well-built and intuitive.
If your looking for a reliable, small, all-rounded camera, the Canon Powershot SD780IS is a good choice: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001T9NUQM?ie=UTF8&tag=gearfirproduc-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001T9NUQM It has 12 megapixels, 3x Optical Zoom, image stabilization, and a big LCD screen. It's also very compact and the black version is pretty sleek.
If you're looking for a DSLR, you don't want to cut corners, you want to get a camera which isn't going to become obsolete in a year. I'd recommend looking at the Canon Digital Rebel T2i: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035FZJI0?ie=UTF8&tag=gearfirproduc-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0035FZJI0 I know it's expensive, but it has 18 megapixels and shoots unlimited 1080p video at 24 fps, which is movie quality.

You would need a point & shoot with a very long zoom, unless you are going to sit in the first row Most inexpensive p&s cameras won't do the job. A DSLR would be a better choice, but most concerts don't allow them. You'd be better off just buying a program and sitting back and enjoying the concerts.
