[QUOTE="Mark DeArman, post: 55574, member: 950"] Re: Compact Digital Camera... all around and concert photos The Canon PowerShot series is pretty good. The G12 is supposed to be pretty good and I have seen some of the photos and they are excellent. The lower MP sensor seems to have lower noise issues in low light which seems to be a real problem with Canon bodies. The G12 has the last generation Canon DSP and noise reduction/unsharp masking software also. I am pretty happy with the results it produces. Personally for live shows, I use a Canon 50D body with 70-200mm 2.8L w/or without 1.4x mkII multiplier or the older XTi Canon body with EF-S 55-250mm IS lens. I'll use the cheap side 17-40mm f4.0L lens too. Point and shoot is great but it never gives me the zoom when I need it or the control I want over the light. For my bigger hands I like the XTi body as a point and shoot. I'm sure one with a lens kit (18-55 or the 55-250) could be had for your price range. [/QUOTE]
