I took my camera to both Leeds and Liverpool last year. It is an APS with zoom lens. Got some cracking shots from 2nd row back. My husband was advised by some other fans to take his rather larger camera back to the car which he did! Put my camera in my bag, lots of people were taking snaps but it was outside in the Millenium square, so maybe that's different.
Took my camera to Liverpool also, but was too far away for any reasonable shots. A couple in front had a digital camera, they seemed to be getting some good pictures. Don't know what Meat thinks about it though, but I love the photo's I got.
