would this camera shoot good at inside concerts??

I took pictures on a cruise at a show where flash photography was not allowed and they turned out great.

It should work for you if the distance to the performers is not too far. I just took shots at my two grandsons' Christmas shows. I was about 30' - 40' away from them and got some nice, close-up shots of their faces.

I have never taken pics at a concert with this camera. However, all pics taken inside in different lighting conditions have turned out fine. The camera will tell you if flash is needed, which I think it would be if at a concert.Hope this helps.

Yes, before I studied all the settings, I took it out for a spin at a performance in Dallas & posted on YouTube, Kenny Traylor performs the blues, Otis Rush-"So Many Roads". You can view it @ http://youtu.be/qEuvBULb9t8 2014 Babb KT So Many Roads = ) Love the camera, excellent.

I gave this camera to my Goddaughter and she took it to a one direction concert. The pics were excellent. So in answer to your question......YES!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Depends on how well lit the "inside" is at the moment the photos are taken. I'd used it in museums where no flash was allowed, and had to increase the ISO to about 1600 to get clear shots. Photos taken at ISO 1600 on this camera is acceptably good with a bit of noise but not too bad. Also, do use a faster lens with a wider aperture, such as the Panasonic 20mm F1.7 pancake lens.

yes, this can be used inside without any problem, please note that those cameras are not dome type (most likely used inside) but it works perfect.

We've never used ours at an actual concert. However we have used them for observing birds and waterfowl after sunset and also in light fog conditions and they still produced a clear, crisp image. Also they are compact and lightweight so we wouldn't hesitate to take them to a concert if we were going to one.

You could probably find a smallish SLR and a good 50mm lens that would do great low light and still fit in your purse.If you have to have a pocket cam, the SD990 does better-than-usual low light work, but the higher ISO's are still going to be a bit grainy, and you don't have a huge amount of zoom going on. Indoor concerts and events really require good SLR's and good lenses on them, too, especially if you're at a distance.Anyway, the SD990 is probably going to be about the best you'll find as far as pocket cams, and the graininess shouldn't matter for things like 4x6 prints. I'd just keep your expectations realistic compared to what a decent SLR and lens combo can do in those settings.

This camera should work just fine for photos in this type of lighting. I would just suggest you use a tripod to ensure the pictures are sharp.

I would not recommend it. For a little more money, you shoukd invest in a better quality camera that will last longer.

I have not but if this is your main reason for the camera I would not get this one. I noticed it does not have a sports setting. Also it depends on the environment you are shooting in, bright outdoors it will probably be okay but it has a small lens and sensor so i would not want to use it indoors. Also distance is important...closer the better.

I think it would, but my lens hunts for focus. It is very slow in that aspect. Otherwise I think it would work if you are semi close to stage.

Since it is an indoor camera, I would say it would be OK as long as it is not subjected to rain, moisture condensation, and/or extreme temperatures. Also, it should be mounted in a spot with good air ventilation; otherwise, heat built-up from the camera LED lights could damage the camera or may cause fire (read and follow the camera instruction manual)

I don't think you are going to get good recordings of loud concerts with any recorder using this Mic. You would need a more professional device.

The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate. The microphone would not work well at that distance, I ended up using a MXL AC-404 (from Amazon) and it works flawlessly. I also route the sound out of this to portable speaker system if the crowd is more than 10-15 people, otherwise the built in speaker is fine. Our tech club has used this to webcast large meetings (40-60 people) in a large multi-purpose room (2000sf) and using the other microphone and the speaker output, it makes for a very professional presentation. In a much smaller venue, the device itself would be sufficient.

I'm an amateur and use the camera mostly for shooting rock concerts. I'm able to get decent shots in low light. The major issue I have is that it takes a while for the auto-focus to lock in these conditions. So a lot of time I miss shots while the AF is locking. I'm usually using the camera in shutter priority @ 1/30th with flash off and ISO at auto.

it will take very nice indoor and low light photos, in low light you will need to hold it steady or use a tripod as the shutter stays open for longer, it does have a flash that needs to be manually flipped up to be used, and will flash if it needs it. I have not taken any photos of indoor concerts myself, though it does take good pictures of fireworks, and things of that nature. There are settings for all kinds of different situations and can take some very clear professional looking photos. The battery life is also excellent i have taken it on trips for several days and not needed to recharge it until i got home.

I have gotten excellent pictures with Canon SD850 as well as the SD 770. A bonus - ANY Canon Powershot will take wonderful video. No blown-out sound and quality video. A few suggestions when taking your concert pics: ISO 400 and reduce the exposure by a 1/3 stop. That will speed up the shutter to freeze the action. NO FLASH - security will be on you like white on rice! Turn off the orange focus-assist beam. Here's another little trick - when recording video, use the optical viewfinder of which the above cameras possess. Use those screen protectors and color it black with a sharpee. Security won't know you're there. I have gotten excellent pictures with Canon SD850 as well as the SD 770. A bonus - ANY Canon Powershot will take wonderful video.

In that kind of environment, where you're standing in the dark but the kids on stage are lit, it performs very well. In fact, we had a concert at my church a couple weeks ago and I shot in those precise conditions... and the pictures turned out great! Oh... don't be afraid to bump your ISO, even up to 3200, and you should be fine. ヅ

I bought this for my brother so I'm not 100% sure. I do know he has a nikon d3200 and it works great. He uses it for music videos so I'm sure you could use it for you interior videos.
