People taking pictures and filming with phones and Ipads are WAY worse than a DSLR. Even using a giant telephoto lens and flash, and blocks much more the vision of others.
And that's not the concern of the concert organizers, they just want to more people come to the concert. (As if anyone would prefer to watch the concert via youtube than see it alive.) -
I like music, i like live bands, i like live bands pictures, why should I wouldn't take it? I'm not going to sell it or something like that neither are the bands using my pics for marketing or something like that.
That's the point I'm not a professional photographer, just an amateur. I don't have a "professional rig" most of the time I just use a 50mm lens.
But the bouncers are instructed that if you can change the lens it's a professional camera. And I have the shittiest phone ever, it's impossible to take pictures on it.How about just watch the band? If you HAVE to take a photo you can use your phone. Photographers are (barely) hired to take photos. You are undermining us.
It shouldn't matter what kind of camera I'm using, either. If I'm using an ipad then I'm using an ipad. The difference is that I'm the person being paid to do so, and you're not. Having a 'pro' rig is meaningless when everyone has one.
Sorry, just a major pet peeve.

I've been thinking about getting one of these mirrorless cameras just so i can take nice pictures of concerts, it's a pain in the ass when they don't let you get with a DSLR because it's a "professional" camera. :(
I'm in a similar boat, considering switching from a Pentax K-x to a Olympus PEN (smaller and it will be in my bag a lot more).
