Anything to get more light to the film. Flash sync speed prob won't matter if you're more than 50ft from the action. Fast film makes most cameras great low light cameras. 1600 or faster would easily do the trick. Try to use a lens that keeps the largest aperture above f4. Close to stage, go for it. Further away and doable, use a tripod for slower shutter speeds. Neat to play with capturing the motion. Have fun and rock on. Chris P.S. Keep a spare clip or two for John's suggestion. Firepower in crowds cannot ever be overrated.

Hello Alejandra, The Hasselblad H3DII-39 SLR Digital Camera Kit with 80mm Lens is an OK camera and will probably work but I use either the Canon 40D or 5D with a 50mm f/1.4 lens for most of my club/concert photography. Carlton

For a film camera for stage shots, I use a Minolta X700 with a Sunpak 622 flash and a Vivitar series 1 70-210mm f2.8 zoom.
