Re: Good Concert Photos

Great to see these photos and videos. One of my primary uses of my trusty old Canon G9 is for concert photos and videos and I've been patiently waiting to see how the G1X performs. Without shooting both cameras at the same venue it can be difficult to compare. But overall the sound quality sounds great and the pictures are quite sharp.

How loud was the concert? (Sometimes bigger concerts are not that loud, though it depends where you sit.) I've found the G9 is excellent at well over 100db concert volumes (e.g. where ear plugs are required) but I've noticed videos posted for the S100 seem to clip (e.g. distort) in about half the cases, presumably anything over 100db or so.

Any other observations comparing the G1X to the G11 for concerts?

If you are able to shoot video / photos at any smaller club venues I would be eager to see the results.
thanks
