Cameras/video cameras

Santana

What are some good cameras or video recorders for concerts? I don't have a camera or anything so I take pics with my phone which of course, usually suck.
And video cameras, what ones get a good picture but good sound too? I know sound can't be that good on ones that aren't professional cuz the music is so freaking loud but; what should I look at?

JVC Evario hard drive camera.

I dont use it, but I was really impressed with this video this guy shot at mayhem fest 2008 in michigan. I was impressed with the audio quality of the video so I asked to guy what kind of camera he used.

I have an Olympus FE-280 I think and it takes great video and pretty damn good sound as well. Granted this video isn't the best since I was standing next to the speaker, but it gives you an idea

What cameras are good for long range pics?
I'm specifically thinking iron maiden for this since I'm buying 3rd section seats. At my venue the 3rd section is right before lawn
idk if that helps
