Question

Best Camera For a Concert?

Oct 16, 2013 5:02PM PDT

Hello all,

I need major help! I want to buy a camera for an up and coming concert for under 300 bucks. I will be in the PIT (the closest to the stage) for Pink's The Truth About Love Tour, which as a lot of movement and a lot of lighting (white lights). Does anyone have any suggestions??

But be sure to at least use it in Sport mode.

Better yet, Shutter Priority with a 1/120 shutter or faster. And Spot Metering.

Better yet, Manual with a 1/120 shutter (or faster), aperture wide open, ISO1600, Tungsten white balance or around 4000 Kelvin.

Better yet, shoot RAW so you can adjust exposure and white balance in post.
