Hi all! I live in AZ but Coldplay didn't come here this tour, so I took my daughter to the CP concert in San Jose, CA. it was awesome of course. Seats were decent but venue had rows so close and narrow stairs made video taking very challenging. Now I'm going to Tampa too since my girlfriend who lives there wanted me to visit and why better time than during a Coldplay concert. We have sec 101 Row M. I you check the online seating chart you can see how far ou are from the stage. I'm happy with my seats as long as a 6'4" guy with broad shoulders isn't right in front of me (like I had in San Jose.)

I love CB but I agree with many of you who say its too hard to pick a fav. Maybe a fav of each album but even that would be difficult. I discovered them during X & Y bu went back and purchased all their previous CDs. All time fav is likely Fix You or Yellow but love Clocks too. Just too many to chose from.

Thanks Jason. Extra battery on order, wish I had remembered to order with camera but at least they're not charging a shipping fee.

My Sony HX20 arrived today from amazon. Couldn't believe I got it so fast with free shipping. AnywAy, I'm playing around with it and had a couple of questions: 1. What setting do you use for pics? I currently use the sports setting with my Panasonic but it still blurs quite a bit when zooming. I believe you said ou used an automatic setting, nt this camera has two - intelligent auto & superior auto. 2. Do you adjust ISO, white balance, EV? 3. When taking videos, which I take a lot, is there anything special you would advise? Thanks for all your help.

I've been using a Panasonic Lumix with 12X zoom (they now have 21 zoom) that takes videos in HD. It's over 2 years old so I think the newer ones are better. I paid $200 in US dollars. Here is one I took of them in April.

Maybe I'll give the Sony a try. (FYI - I was not close to the stage either.)

Wow, tough call. I love all but a couple, but here are 3 favs in no particular order: Charlie Brown Hurts Like Heaven Don't Let It Break Your Heart

Yep just saw the video from an email I received. I love it and I think I like Rihanna again. Good job Chris and Ri.

After my second concert at the end of June, I'd be happy to donate mine. So I'll come back here in early July to pick someone to mail it to. Great idea!!
