Can anyone recommend a good point and click camera for low light photography for use at a concert, I am looking to spend upto £200?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply..

I already have a Panasonic Lumix which hasn't really performed that well in low light situations so I don't want to use it at this concert as I am looking for the best pics possible.

I am very fussy lol

I could go higher price wise so i'm just reading the reviews on the Canon S95.. Ideally looking for a longer optical zoom though.

My Lumix LX3 is brilliant in low light situations, and has the advantage of optical image stabiliation. I'm sure you could pick one up for the sort of money you're talking about. The only problem for you might be that the fixed Leica zoom, whilst lovely and wide and sharp as a tack, doesn't have a long focal length - it only goes to about 60mm in 35mm terms.

Excellent - I'm sure you won't regret it. About 75% above your original budget, though?

Gosh, that sounds like a bargain. Where did you get it from? Cheapest price on here is £359.

It says at the bottom that it comes with a minimum of 12months warranty.. If Canon won't cover it I will expect Photodirect to cover any repairs.
