Point and Shoot for a DSLR owner? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Hey guys,

I know there are a couple threads on this already, but none aren't that recent.

What kind of point and shoot would you guys recommend for me? Obviously I have shoot with a good amount of dSLR gear, so I want something with similar functionality i guess. And I don't want to spend a ton of $ since it will only be used for concerts and whatnot where pro gear isn't allowed.

plus, HD video would be a perk.

Any ideas?

4-500 bucks is kinda pricey for a point and shoot for concerts you dont want anything you cant put in your pocket

the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS is nice for $227

OLYMPUS Stylus Tough 8000 is nice also it has wide angle and its water proof good for concerts for $299
