Cameras Inside the O2 shows?

Hey guys...I am heading to London. Bringing a camera inside the US shows has been pretty easy and security really did not appear to care if you took some shots during the show. Is it difficult to get a camera inside the London shows and will they put up with you snapping a few during the show?? Thanks - B Stage

Another question is: do they use a magic wand to scan for contraband? Like a minidisc recorder??

Mixed reports seems to depend on who you go to see.

BonJovi could not give a monkies no search could even take your drinks in from outside as long as caps were removed or hidden in your pocket.

Prince appears not to be too hot on cameras, threatening to leave if anyone takes pics Ho Hum.

Stones ???.
My guess, if its a normal digital or mobile you will be fine.

Take a top of the range F off job with an array Zoom lenses etc and they may confiscate unless you know how to hide/distribute the bits between you.

So far this tour 2006/2007 Europe we have not had any problem carrying a digital Camera and seperate Hard Drive.

Will be interested to see what folks who go on the 21st have to report.

I left my camera at the hotel on Saturday, when I went to Slane, but everyone inside seemed to have cameras! I know that they were VERY strict about the no camera rule in Twickenham 2003...

Perhaps some of you folks at tonights show can tell us how they were in the O2??

Last year at Twicks they were very relaxed. I went to both shows and I didn't take my camera the first night but asked the security guard and he said, "As long as it's not a professional camera, it's fine." He even went to ask someone to make sure.

Exact same thing happened for me in Horsens.
I'm bringing a normal digital camera for taking pictures. I'm gonna smuggle it in by having it down in my pants. Right under the balls always works great. I hope they don't scan us using a metal detector though. Then I'm @#$%&.

Don't bother with cameras - just take paints and an easel, or tell the security you have a photographic memory and a 1 gig SD card installed into your brain.

For once I'd like to bring a bigger one but that, I think, might be a problem. So I'll just take my regular one

There was a sign up about no professional cameras. If it is small and compact, you should be ok.

I went last night and cameras were fine as long as they were not 'professional'.
