I compel ought to a Canon PowerShot SD1000 and it doesn't do very coolly when it comes to concerts. The main complication is that I don't use flash and that makes the photograph blurry. I have to hold it at a stillness that my deal out can't achieve with out help. Does the Canon PowerShot SD900 obtain better image stabilization?

While perception stabilization can help, it is not the cure for your cloudiness problem although I just checked and neither the SD 1000 nor the SD 900 arrange IS ... look at the SD1100 IS or SD990 IS with guide controls

What you need is a camera that you can button up the f/stop and shutter speed manually. You see, the lighting on the trump up is such that the promoter can video tape the lot concert. That means that there is wealth of light to get good shots using a digital camera. You fair-minded need to be able to control the camera ... P&S cameras strive to control all the exposures, so can be fooled by almost any fashion that interferes with the way the cameras sees the about.

I shoot about two or three concerts a year. I set my cameras ISO to 1600 and then meter the put on at the start of the first set. I meter the scene with the lens one a close down (to give me some depth of scope and a little sharper image). That assures me that the shutter hustle I am using is at least 1/250th of a second. I then set the fashion to manual and use those settings throughout the usually concert. To correct for any slight exposure differences from say the get going guitar to the drummer, I also shoot in RAW. This gives me the underlying control if I need it.
