Thanks for the advice Rork, and Im searching the net as we speak for something that may do this. The only problem I foresee is being able to use a film with a fine enough grain to do the enlargement at scan time. That and a lens sharp enough to resolve fine detail. Basically I have the capability to scan the neg at 4000 ppi, so with a final image for web use at 72ppi, I could crop the bejevus out of the frame. Along with this I would need spot metering, as at a low magnification the meter would be thrown from background and stage light. Such a camera might be, less expensive than a super-tele model. Example is my Minolta Point and Shoot cost $260, you can get a nice SLR, w/o lens for close to that. Part of my problem is that I have been spoiled by concerts that allow any camera, except video. I think they dont expect me to walk in with a Nikon N-90s with a 400mm lens hanging off the end, but they set the rules.
