Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
It's thin, light weight, takes decently high quality pictures, quick trigger time, has many settings and features, and best of all...comes with a rechargable battery of its own-which actually has a pretty good life. Uses an SD card, so if you have a couple of gigs in one of those, you can take a pretty long video, or literally thousands of pics if you wanted. I recommend. Great price too, IMO.
I have an earlier version of this same camera, and it is the perfect blend of everything that is desirable in a digital camera. You can't go wrong with this!

I have this one and I really love it. It takes good pictures - not as good as my fiance's $400 camera but still good. It's nice and easy and doesn't have a long delay like some do. It's also nice and small but not too small.
Ack it doesn't like the link but it is a Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-W55 Digital Camera - look it up on google.
My mom ordered ^this^ one for herself today for $169 from Dell.
I have the SONY DCS-S500 and I hate it. It's my first digital cam and I have taken a lot of fun pics w/it, but iT also EATS BATTERIES LIKE CRRRRRAZZZYYY!!! It takes AA's. And sometimes it will say the batteries are fine, then they'll be "dead" when you go to take a pic, but then they'll be "alive" a little later when you don't.
BUT, this DSC-W55 (above) that my Mom's gettin' runs on a big lithium-whatev rechargable one. So I think she will be more pleased.
Have you guys seen any problems with bring a digital video camera into centeroo?
I didn't have any problems bringing it into centeroo - just be careful that if rain is predicted you have a ziplock bag to put it in.... cause if there's a downpour that could be bad for the camera
Powershot S2IS. Reasonably priced. optical zoom. Good with batteries.
Here are a couple pics that we took with it last year:
I'm thinking about getting the newer version of this camera, and was wondering about its size as far as inconvenience is concerned. I currently have a Canon Powershot A510 but it only has 4x optical, and the 12x optical is extremely enticing. The only thing holding me back is the size. Not just for Bonnaroo, how hard is it to get into other concerts? With my small Powershot, I can just hide it in my pocket at concerts that don't allow photography. How easy is it to hide this one? Just trying to justify buying the camera for more than just the roo!
It's still pretty bulky.. I was playing around with it today and I was super impressed. I of course just keep getting nervous about buying it cause i gots bills ta pay haha... but bonnaroo makes it twice as enticing haha. and p.s. great pics.
I got a cheap Chinese camera off ebay for $59 (Konaki DV6). It's a 3Mpx (8 Mpx interpolated) camera, 8x zoom, Video camera, MP3 player, voice recorder and has 16 MB memory and uses SD cards. It came with a aluminum hard case, tripod earphones, belt case, etc. It also has an extra battery pack that uses AA batteries. I don't know if I'd recommend it as I'm a little concerned about reliability and it does eat batteries (really glad about the AA thing). The manual is also horrible but I've had it a year w/ no problems so for $59 I have no complaints.

Yes, yes, my camera is similar to that one with a 12x optical zoom, only it is a Sony. Do they ever try to give you crap when you take it into Centeroo? That's the only thing I'm worried about. I really don't mind wagging it around. I'll just buy a smaller case for it, I guess.
anyone have any recomendations for a good memory card? i just got a 2 GB sandisk card and the thing is already acting up... the last thing i want is for my pictures at the roo to get messed up!
It works well and is pretty durable. The only downside I've had is that it takes XD memory which seems to NEVER be on sale. I've only seen it made by like 2 companies and it's only used for digital cameras.
