Hey A_W - check out the link in my post to Jason DeBord’s discussion of cameras for concerts. He is a serious expert in this domain, and recommends three above all others (including the RX-100). And check out the results on my SmugMug page if you wish (also linked in the piece). That will give you a sense of the capabilities of RX-100. If you want better images, I think you will have to stop up, but it will be challenging to get a true SLR into many shows. I think the RX-100 is a fabulous choice for a pocket camera, and for sheer portability.
