I had talked to security before and the guy showed be their brief which said that any cameras over 3.5 inch lens were not allowed. Based on that I didn't even try to get a SLR in. As it turned out I didn't get searched going into the redzone at all. Pics are ok but not brilliant. I screwed up a bit in that I tried to take a lot without flash which rendered them useless.
It was disappointing that Bono hardly ever came over to our side. Last time I saw them in Berlin the pics were much better with a crappy wee camera
