eloise.shaw Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I got a new camera today for the Lovebox festival since you can't take DSLR's. Also got two 8BG memory cards on amazon for £8! Go and check that out because they cost about £30 each in Comet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilseh1983 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 What kind of camera are you looking for, a point and shoot, DSLR, or maybe a bridge? euhm i don't know anything about it, it's got to be one that's good enough for gigs, but not too good so it can't be refused.... don't know what a point and shoot, DSLR or Bridge are :blush-anim-cl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the ones difficult to get into gigs. A bridge is a mix of the two. It's a bulky-ish camera, bigger than the first - looks like a DSLR but doesn't have a detachable lens like the DSLR.

eloise.shaw Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 What did you buy? It's a Fujifilm Finepix JV300. It's quite simple, and it was cheap because me and my mum went half and half on it for London because you can't take in DSLR's (my other digital compact camera broke). It has 14 megapixels, and HD movie mode, but the film takes up alot of memory so that's why I bought the extra memory cards I've had a go with it, and the zoom is good (to zoom onto Mika's perfect face ) but the autofocus system thingy isn't so good once you start to zoom in, but it is definately better than nothing! I'm very happy with it anyway, and I'm very excited to capture magic moments at the Lovebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good if you want to film as they've a lot of space. I'm trying to decide whether to bring my camera to Lovebox and risk being turned away with it. Trying to persuade my son to come to the venue with me and if I'm caught with it just to hand it over to him to bring home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasa Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 This was with the Canon PowerShot SX210IS. I know it's sideways but the video quality is quite good. Not sure about taking pics of Mika with it. It would be fine if he'd just stand still. Although as the concert is in daylight it might be easier to photograph him without the changing lights as well as movement.

astor Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I've heard some dodgy reviews about Fujifilm but think they were referring to a DSLR. I have a loooovely Canon digital compact which is high quality for the build/size/price. Canon IXUS 220 HS, excellent in low lighting, so maybe good for gigs? Edit: It also has very good film quality, although bear in mind the battery drains much faster when filming, and you'll need a big big memory card for filming in high quality on this one.

On a full charge, I managed to shoot 142 photos and 1 minute 45 seconds of video before the three-part battery icon was flashing to warn me that it was in its last segment" The second one you mentioned doesn't seem to have as good reviews as the other two. The first one looks very good also, with a massive zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a fujifilm and I think it did well at Mika gigs But, it's so true... There can be such a massive difference between different models of the same brand. Crazy! The previous fujifilm I had sucked compared to the one I still have now. i've bought my camera today it's the canon powershot sx240 hs can start testing it out now before i go to Vienne ! Can't wait to see test shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
