CAMERA INFO.

I have a waterproof camera.
Sanyo (Xacti).
8 MEGA.
VGA 60FPS MOVIE (I don't know what this means).
5X Optical Zoom.

Answer
You need to have manual control over the shutter speed and the shutter speed should be able to go to 30 seconds. Most digital cameras don't have this option because of the noise they will produce at such long exposures.

Btw,

VGA 60FPS MOVIE

Means that your camera can record a video in 640 x480 (0.9 MP) resolution at 60 frames per second.

What is a good camera for recording a loud concert?

I'm probably going to go to the Soundwave festival in 2014 and I really want to record some bands performing. I went last year and used my sibling's 4th generation iPod Touch to record. The picture quality was good, but the sound was all distorted and rumbling when I was closer to the stage. So are there any cameras that have good picture quality and microphones that can handle loud noises and that will pick up the sound from the band and not the crowd?(I didn't have this problem, but I've heard this is a problem with some cameras).
Oh, and. I'm not too worried about this, but just in case, is there any way to protect the camera from others in the crowd?
By "protection" I'm talking about moshers! Elbowing the camera or slamming against it and what not.

Answer
The built-in mic is not the big problem with the audio. Using manual audio gain control can resolve most of the issue. Any camcorder from the Canon HF series or the mid and upper range of the Sony HDR-CX or HDR VX series have some sort of manual audio gain control. At the low end, the consumer cams manual audio control is very basic "normal" and "attenuator" for loud audio. As the price increases, the manual audio control becomes more granular and a 10-12 step control in the menu is provided.

What sort of "protection" do you need for the camcorder? There are waterproof housings, rain jackets, dust jackets and others types of "protection" available.
