I'm going to going to a few concerts over the summer. The big one is down is Nashville. Its a 4 day country music fest. Anyone know what the best camera to pick up to get some really good shots. Something that would take a great picture from a distance. I'm not looking to spend a whole lot. Somewhere in the $400 range.
Thanks in advance for your input

That was one of the cameras that i was looking at. With the zoom I can get good pics from a distance. Right now I have a little Olympus Stylus 300. Its a great camera but only for things that are pretty close. I was at a Billy Joel concert and was right behind the stage. He wasn't that far afar but the zoom wasn't enough. So I know I need an upgrade.

Kodak DX7590. (D750 is almost as good). The 7590 is 5.0 MP, has 10x optical and 3x digital zoom, tons of settings. Ability to shoot using shutter, exposure, apperture settings, as well as pre-programmed settings. Takes video up to 640 x 320. Amazing camera for the price. With the easy share dock, the 7590 is around $379, I think the 750 can be found at WalMart for around $300. Better lens on the 7590 though. Here's a sample I took at an airshow last summer:
I'll change the pic to a link since it's so damn huge!

Thanks! I can't say enough about that Kodak camera. I did more research on that purchase than I have on any other in my life. Pisses me off it was stolen out of my car last month.

That's not a bad price either, especially considering it's at circuit city.
