What is the best camera for a concert?

I currently have a 7.1 megapixel, 3x zoom kodak camera and it sucks. I go to a lot of concerts and sometimes when I'm farther back on the floor the pictures come out horribly. Do I need a new camera with more zoom or more megapixels? I'm looking between 150-250 dollars.

I found a kodak with 10x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom for $250...would that be good enough?

I always had that same problem because whenever i go to see Keith Urban in concert my pictures would come out all blurry either because i was too far away from the stage and so i would zoom in so much that it would make it even blurrier and/or Keith just does not sit still! He is always running around stage (gotta love that crazy monkey!) so its hard to get a still shot of him. But after a long time of searching i found a good camera that i just love and it takes really nice photos is this one: http://www.casio.com/products/Cameras/Ex...

you can do all sorts of things with it like you can take black and white photos and sephia pictures and it has all different kinds of camera modes for whatever kind of picture you are taking like if you are taking a pictures of a pet or of children or of food or of fireworks or in a candlelit room and i thats what i love about it is that with some cameras you don't know what some of the settings are and which one you should use while taking a picture but this camera tells you what the setting is for. also this camera has a video recorder and when you play back the video it has sound and it has a youtube video setting so if you want to record a song during a concert to put on youtube it would be perfect. the screen is also very big. but the thing i love about it the most is that it is pink!鈾?br>
If not that one then i would deffinitly have to go with any canon they are like the top camera's. my sister has one it she just loves it! I find her's really nice if not sometimes even better than mine.

i like the panasonic dmctz5. It has a 10X optical zoom, face detection, and an optical image stabilizer. It's also relatively small compared with cameras with the same amount of optical zoom. I'm not sure about the price on it though.

You aren't going to find anything for that price. Not only does the camera matter in this case, but the skills matter too. I suggest you go and enjoy yourself... don't spend your time stressing over getting a nice picture.

you just need something with more zoom kodak sucks anyway try lloking it up on google as cheap high zoom digital cameras or something

You should get a camera that doesnt break when you drop it like the new olympus. (:

You need more optical zoom.
