Has anybody here been hassled for bringing in (& snapping pics) with a point & shoot style camera? I will be taking my sony H7 to the Milwaukee show.

I used to get hassled endlessly, searched very carefully my purse and bag. Even my make-up pouch was prodded! This is in Massachusetts, Foxboro and TD Bank North ( old Boston Garden). RIDICULOUS! So, I useed to hide my camera under TAMPONS...you should see the guard let go of that pouch when he saw the tampons! Like they were HOT COALS! Worked every time!

Not too sure how well that'd work for men...[/quote
Or if the guard happened to be female. Getting almost whatever you want into a concert these days is child's play, imo. The problem for me is all the people so busy filming and recording that it tends to become somewhat of a distraction for the people around them.
It's one of the things that must have been great about the Fonda and Belly Up shows, people living in the moment, enjoying the show and not worried about capturing it all for later.
As much as I like certain aspects of the find anything in a minute multimedia internet society and the periscope stuff there is also something that's goes missing with the instant connectivity. The imaginative properties of the great unknown are lost when everything is knowable in seconds.
