Looking for a camera?
Looking for a digital camera that takes pretty good quality photos. I looked at the panasonic dmc-tz5 (which i liked), but it seemed a little pricey. http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Cameras-Camcorders/Digital-Cameras/Lumix-Digital-Cameras/model.DMC-TZ5A.R_11002_7000000000000005702#tabsection
I pretty much want a good little camera, (no bulky cannons), that takes good video quality. I liked the panasonic since it took 16:9 hd. Are there any other cameras with that? (that arent on the pricey side)

ID recommend a cybershot or a cannon digicam.
cannon usually offers free mem cards and other accessories with the package.
This is my camera-

GREAT camera for an awesome price
I would recommend the Sony DSCT500. Abt Electronics has it for sale for $359 with free shipping and no tax as long as you don’t live in WI, IL, MI, or IN. It’s 10MP with HD recording. And it’s pretty compact.

If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:

It just came out on November 4, 2008.
It’s an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization; (ii) HD720 quality video [Quicktime] which permits zooming while videoing; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] "Leica" lense for nature photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a "burst speed" of 13 fps; and sells new for $315 at amazon.com.
Here’s an actual handheld picture of the moon:

If you can take a handheld picture of the moon with an 18X zoom, concert coverage should be a breeze.
Good luck!
These cameras are really great
