I have owned two Canon powershots in the last 6 years and I love them. I upgraded not because it crapped out on me, I just wanted a superior model. I don't know if buying a camera to get pics at concerts is the best idea though... I mean, unless you have special privileges. You can't control the lighting, and you can't control whats going on around you (ie. drunk cowgirls
) I guess it's just a matter of you trying the camera out yourself and seeing the pics in different situations.
