The microphone on the s100 is not great for concert video. To be fair, neither is the lx5's microphone.

The S100 definitely distorts, the LX5 doesn't distort, but the vocals can get drowned out a bit during heavy bass... CCD sensor also gets lots of streaks from bright lights

I'm still looking for a great camera for concert videos... still have not found the perfect one yet

In the last comparison I saw, someone took video with both and they both distorted. Whether the lx5 distorted less or not I'm not sure, just that neither was perfect at loud concerts.
