I saw that it says under rules that no professional camera's are allowed into the festival. I was really hoping to bring my good digital SLR to the fest to snap some great photos but does anyone know how strict they are at not allowing people to bring these types of cameras in? If they are strict is there anyway to talk to someone involved with the festival to make an exception. I only want these for personal use and not for online distribution at all. If the consensus here is not to bring it I wont but just wondering exactly how hard it is to bring one in.
I've asked the same question, it seems the consensus was that you could sneak it in, but other than that, you aren't going to get it in. Sometimes when the lines are backed up to get into Centeroo they will just let people flood in without searching, that would be your opportune time.

Last year I brought a Nikon D70 DSLR, which would fall under their definition of "professionals" (although actual professionals would disagree...). I had it with me all the time in Centeroo, never had trouble bringing it in, however I did have two incidents. Thursday night a security dude came up and gave me a friendly warning that that camera wasn't allowed and that it could be confiscated (!), then Sunday afternoon I was in the pit for Plant & Krauss taking photos and a security guy told me to put it away. So, it's a gamble but it could work. Worst case scenario, you have to go back to camp and drop off your camera.
