No doubt but an SLR in the hands of somebody who doesn't have the skills to use it is no more than a decent point and shoot (or 808 as things look).

I didn't take them, but I can offer some advice. Use manual. Take the exposure settings down, have a pretty quick shutter speed. Remember that there's a lot of light on the stage, it's only dark where you're standing.

You really think so? It used to be like that some years ago, but now everyone who wants to slip a DSLR, does it. In all the past shows I've attended there were plenty of normal atendees with DLSRs...
