LOL yea that jump was hilarious
I actually got this camera just FOR them, lmao- I'd always been meaning to get one, for various reasons, but it wasn't until the first week of this month that I randomly saw this one on eBay while trying to check again for any discounted deals on the other. And as soon as I got it, I started using it on everything- stuff in my room, stuff out my window (zomg the zoom is def. pretty awesome!), stuff anywhere, lol lol.
I had kinda meh seats for this show (all the way in the back row of Section 22) so the zoom had to be maxed out to even be able to see them, haha and you kno the closer you're zoomed, the steadier the cam has to be- that's the most difficult part right there! So after a ton of blurred pics I just gave up and took a bunch of videos (will be posting them on YouTube too at some point!)
I had managed to get sixth row for the Boston show tho (one of the closest I've ever been!) and that one still had to be zoomed in nearly almost all the way too, but the random moments that it did come out clear, I got some great shots!
My battery held out pretty well at the first one.. later I got some extra ones on eBay just in case, and they came in really handy during the Mohegan trip, hehe.
Oh, the one drawback on mine (the TZ3), it does not ~zoom while filming video! Oy! So you would have to already be in focus and at your preferred zoom level before recording, otherwise you'd miss out on some moments while getting it fixed. I kno the other versions sposedly DO zoom while recording, specifically the ZS3 I wanted, so I'm still gonna hold out for that one
What was your favorite part of the show?

I was surprised too at the video quality! It's pretty decent for 640x480- and the ZS3 I had my eye on also does HD video, so that will be even better The only thing that slows me down there, is size/weight- whoa! Luckily, I already had a 4GB card, but since that filled up pretty quickly with the vids, I'm gonna try and save up for a 16GB one for next time If I get a really good seat, I might even try and film the whole show!
I never had a ~fancy camera before, pretty much any concert if I wanted pics it was always relying on a ~funsaver type cam LOL so to be able to actually capture some good moments personally instead of waiting to find other ppl's online it's pretty cool "I had to practice holding my hand steady while singing along at the top of my lungs and being a crazy fan!" and that's exactly what I just did! LOL at one point near the end of the first concert, I realized my hand had cramped and was stuck like it was still holding the cam even after I'd let go of it.. it got used to it later tho!
OMG I ~died at the movie spoofs. At first I wasn't sure what was going on, but by the time Brian's came on, LOL X A MILLION and I loved AJ's dancing in the end blooper reel I think my favorite part of the show was the performance of All Of Your Life You Need Love & Bye Bye Love, because the way they acted out those skits just gave them endless room to be adorkable and that's what I love most for any concert of theirs, when they are interacting and being generally hilarious!
