    Is it the one with flash or not? my friend has the first one, that doesn't have flash. Its recommended to use 400 ISO in the cameras for daylight shots, so for gigs your best bet would be to shoot at least 1600ISO dolour film (Fuji do it but to be honest its got poor colours and I really dislike it. Used the 1600ISO colour film at a gig before and it was cr@p! I'd definitely say go for some high speed B&W, some Ilford Delta 3200 if you can get it. It can be pushed to hell and back. I've pushed it to 25,600 ISO before but that was really stretching it to the limits. Generally I pushed it to 12,800 ISO. You can take a guess how much you should push it depending on how good the light was at the gig.
    If it's the one with the flash, you'll get a black circle at the bottom of the frame where the flash won't be as wide as the lens. Also the flash would be rated for use with 400 ISO film as well so might blow out things that are close if used with 3200 ISO film.
