I used a Samsung L100R for KC but I'll be using a Panasonic Lumix TZ5 for my last two shows. I noticed this was what the6thday used to get those HD videos and that's what I wanted it for.

I want All By Myself in HD from you! I expect nothing less

My TZ5 is definately going with me, that's no problem since it fits in my pocket but I had something different in mind
Anyway, near all my equipment is definately going with me to Canda, i'll see there if it's possible to bring it in or not.
That's what I love about airlines, you can bring a lot of luggage with you, even if you are just going for a couple of days

Hehe, I just got this same camera (TZ5) this week! (mainly for the upcoming concerts.   )

Any specific tips on how to get good shots?  I'm not sure how to adjust the settings...so I think I'm just going to leave it on the Auto Mode...or maybe one of the indoor scene settings?

I took pictures with the TZ5 during the concert in Antwerp last year with the following settings:

- Automatic (red camera on the swith above)
- Shutterspeed: Max 1/30
- ISO: 100 ISO
- Stabilisation: Program 1 (I think, need to check this)
- NO Flash

You need a steady hand and a good place but you can make nice pictures with those settings (check my pictures a page back or so)

Good luck!

How can you hold the TZ5 without blocking the mic?! It's going to be a trial not blocking it all the time

Neato, are you going to record a lot of video?

Should it be possible to sneek this one inside?: http://www.usa.canon...p;modelid=14061
I'm thinking about bringing it with me to Canada...

That would be some challenge...  First try to sneek in a DSLR and second to try for a HD cam

All you would need is some press credentials

I did!  Will post them on the San Juan thread.

The nice thing about this camera is that it takes HD videos...but boy are they huge!  A 6-7 min clip was almost 1 GB!

They just announced the new version of the camera last week actually (TZ6 and TZ7).

I saw the new models, wish I haven't gotten my FZ28 last year.

To bad the TZ7 isn't yet available otherwise I would have bought one as a backup for my backup camera

Bad news... No credentials are given for the shows in Montréal since they are additional shows

It will be the TZ5 for taking pictures although I think i'm going to sneek my Nikon inside.  I'll probably give it a try

I saw ppl with DSLRs at the PR show and they were able to get in...so it's worth a try...just make sure you have your backup!

I wish I had two sets of hands so I use one camera for video and one for pictures...
