So im 100% sure im going to get redirected to an already existing thread, but i need an answer and am heading out to work.
Whenever i go on a trip like this i want a great camera... i've always had a smaller point and shoot and there great and all but i want something with a decent lens. Is it true that you can bring in some bigger cameras with a really good zoom lens as long as its affixed? No interchangeable lenses right?
Also any suggestions on a decent zoom camera thats not too expensive?
I have a Nikon coolpix p80 that I am bringing this year - it has a great zoom on it and is fairly reasonable in price. Best buy has it for $400 or the L100 for about $250
I have a Fujifilm Finepix S5700 that takes stellar zoom pics, and I've never had a problem getting it in.
I was thinking about this camera but some people gave it bad reviews... you say it takes stellar zoom pics... how about night time pics? If you could could you give me a small review as to the use you got out of it at past roos?
Yes. Don't bring a long lens attachment for it and they won't care. They don't seem to mind camcorders either as long as you aren't bringing in something like one of those giant Handycams that cost 3 grand.
I had a friend who brought a Nikon D80 with a massive lens and he said he didn't have any problems getting it in. Like other things, I think it depends on the security line.
I'm planning on bringing my SLR in this year. This will be the first time I've brought it to bonnaroo, though. In previous years I've just brought a point & shoot. But, I don't plan on having too much trouble getting it through the gates. I we'll find out...

thanks so much guys, awesome info.
Im not way into photography or anything, but i like to get nice pictures to remember my trip. I was kind of worried about being turned away at the gates but it seems like if i do at first, try try again.

I just bought a Canon G10, fucking awesome. 14.7 mega pixels, great zoom, I shouldn't have any trouble getting it in. And I bought it after some research, great camera for the money. Last year I was near the stage during some really great sets and kicked myself for not having the proper documentation device. No longer.
I want a video camera that wont break me. I have looked and looked and can't ever make up my mind. Not really to record shows or anything but to have for the whole trip and maybe a song or two here and there.
