Looking for suggestions on best settings/tricks/tips for shooting scenes such as a show on stage (dark theater, no flash allowed).
I am trying to capture not only a dark scene but one in which there is movement (often rapid) such as dancers or actors.
:PMy wife is in stage set design and often asks me to take pics of shows featuring her work... only to end up gripping about the poor quality and mumbling something or other about overpriced gadgets...

I was able to use this to my advantage and upgrade from the c3040 to the c5050, then to the c5060 and now to the c8080 but I'm pretty sure this isthe end... so any help is appreciated.
