Can someone who has experienced this tell me what camera you used....
If you have been to a concert and sat up high in the upper level, and had a camera and you took lots of pictures that were good quality and you could see their faces clearly.
can you show me some of the pictures with a link and tell me what kind of camera you used, because i am going to a concert soon and need a good camera.

Back in college when I was woking for the school paper, I would occasionally get an assignment for shooting a concert. I used a Nikon F with a 135mm f/2.8 lens. I was using Tri-X film at its standard ISO 400, and I shot using available light, i.e., no flash unit.
I was also the official photographer for the paper which meant I had press credentials and was authorized by the concert venue to photograph it. Cameras were not otherwise allowed.
If cameras are not allowed, be prepared to have whatever photographic equipment you take in with you confiscated, with a real possiblity that you won't get it back.
If cameras are allowed, I would recommend you take at a minimum a Nikon D40x or a Canon Rebel XTi with an 80-200mm f/2.8 lens. If cameras are allowed, you probably won't be able to use flash and anything slower than f/2.8 is going to have trouble focusing the in low light conditions of the auditorium.

Digital Zoom is just the camera making the picture it takes bigger after it's taken. There's no zoom at all. It's more like if you take an icon and resize it in photoshop to fill the whole monitor. Horrible, horrible thing to do. Optical zoom is the only kind of zoom worth mentioning. Optical zoom increases the size of the objects in the photo. The larger amount of megapixels mean that in post-processing, you can trim off more of the photo you don't want and so what you want to be in the photo will take up more of the photo. This is not the same thing as digital zoom because digital zoom doesn't give you the control, it just shrinks the resolution to spread out the picture. Open an image in photoshop and change the size from '100%' to '400%'. That's digital zoom.

A digital that meets your requirements is going to be two things: big and expensive.
Go for a film camera. I recommend the Canon Sure Shot Z180u, which has a 180mm zoom lens. Small enough to get into a concert, but has a big zoom. Now only available used, I think. But cheap!
Pentax makes a camera called the IQzoom 160, as well as the IQzoom 170.
In either case, use fast film, like ISO 800 or ISO 1600 film. You'll have to shop around for that.
Good luck!

First, check the back of your ticket. If it says NO CAMERAS ALLOWED and they find yours it will be confiscated and you may never see it again.
Second, to get results like you're talking about is going to require a few thousand dollars worth of camera equipment.
