Originally posted by INCA:Largest aperture appears to be f/2.9. You might be able to get away with low light shots if you have enough light from the stage. My 2011 shots are with an 18-45mm DX at f/3.5.
This model has no aperture priority mode which means in changing light conditions the camera won't be able to determine the best exposure. You'll have to do it manually. Which is okay, I shot all of 2011 on manual with my D80.
For 106.00 I'd say go for it. Do some local test shows and low light scenarios before the main event.
The thing that I'm mostly worried about this camera is the image stabilization that is sensor shift instead of lens... I have the cheap seats for this tour so do you think I might have blurry images?
In Portugal I'll have to pay around 160€ or so... although I'd be willing to go around 200€ but not much more.
