I take about a 1000-1200 and then sort 'em out later. I have it in "sport" mode a lot to try and capture the more active acts so that distorts the numbers a bit.
As my sig implies, I'm not into it. I used to be crazy for pics years ago. At some point I felt that taking pics was a distraction. I mean, I'd rather be relaxed and really immersing myself in the moment than taking pictures of other people enjoying the moment.
OU. My last final is Wednesday and I'm leaving later that night, so it's going to be impossible to not rush through it.
My friend and I are coming from OU too. Last year I had to write a 10 page paper on The Bluest Eye. That was too depressing for the week before roo. This year I decided to not take any classes this quarter because I knew that finals the week of Roo are hellacious.
To piggyback off of this post, what's a decent, affordable point-and-shoot in low light (oxymoron I know) w/ image stabilization.
I and a few others use a Panasonic Lumix. I am really happy with it and I think the model I have cost around $175. There are lots of different prices levels with them .

I bought one last year right before Roo. I went with the DS5. It also takes HD audio & video. I was very impressed with the quality of the video & audio from such a small camera.
To answer the original question, I usually take about 150 pictures during the weekend. I also took about 15 videos last year. You can tell the shows I'm really into by my pictures because I will forget all about the camera and just be in the moment.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I'm with you. I'll take a picture or two whenever I see something really cool, or a truly magical moment occurs. But overall its just a distraction. I never understood all the jackass' that spend 20 minutes each show trying to take pictures of the artists every other song, at that point you're not even there for the music you're just there for the bragging rights that you saw so'and'so. I don't like having to worry about my expensive camera in my pack getting wet or broken. What am I going to do with 400 pictures anyway? Put them up on facebook so I can prove I was there and all my friends will see how cool I am and how good of a time I had? I maybe take 30-40 pictures total the whole weekend. I few group shots to remember the friends I went with, a few shots of some art or graffiti that I thought was cool, and a few shots that I think might capture the vibe/atmosphere.

I have always seemed to increase the amount I take. In 2009 it was around 800 I think. Not sure on this year though, may take it easy and not use a neckstrap. I also get quite a few videos but am more picky about it now. I don't mind recording if i can't see the band myself, but can with my camera. It is kind of a 3rd eye in that regard.
Also, for all the people with rechargeable batteries, I have never had any issues with overseas knockoffs for backups, but it may be too late to order them now. Most replacements are $3-10 each with shipping from amazon or ebay.
