I want to buy a new camera. And I want one that would fit my needs. And i also want one that isn’t super expensive. I take a lot of photos of family and friends, and I go to a lot of concerts.
And as far as the concert part is concerned- I go to small venues in seattle which allows photos- and there is low lighting.

What’s the best digital camera that takes all around good photos and one that is good at concerts?

if you have the money then go with a Nikon but if not try Cannon’s PowerShot SD750. Well priced too.
I have a Casio Exilim and it’s pretty awesome. The only downside is that the battery life isn’t very good.
Not the camera per se re: the concert photos–it’s the lens. You’d need on that is fast (with a larger aperture), because you would not want to use flash, and unfortunately, it’s expensive.

The all time winner bargain compact digital camera is the Canon 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD1000 [not the IS] 7.1 with an added 2- gig memory card which when set in the manual mode for “Vivid” colors and videos at 30 fps in 320 dpi format provides killer images and videos under low-light concert conditions. It currently sells for $160 at Sears:

Good luck!
A good camera would be one that performs well at high iso’s, has fast focusing, and a big imaging sensor. Pixel count is the big fad these days, but in practice, these does little or virtually nothing the final image quality. more megapixels on a smaller sensor= artifacts, color bleeding, more noise, etc. You can consider a slr camera, which provides superior performance compared to a compact- or if you prefer not lugging around a heavy camera+lens….you may consider cameras such as the sony H9, Canon G7, among others. I heard Panasonic makes pretty good compacts too.
