Is it safe to take a digital camera to the shows? Particularly the Texas shows. I just got a digital camera, so i was wondering if its safe to take it. Thanks!

cameras won't be safe to take in. digital especially! they are considered recording devices and security will take them away and not give it back to you if they are seen.
don't be so obvious with your camera if your able to sneak it in.
I always sneak in a camera, so i guess i could sneak in a digital. its just that on the tickets it says seomthing about a camera check and ive never seen that on a ticket before. I know usually they just peak in your bag. i dont think it will be difficult to sneak it in though.
Certainly people are permitted to bring in cellphones and many of those have cameras in them.
I actually spent a few hours at the cellphone store yesterday in search of a really high quality one to bring with me to the upcoming concerts. They are getting better, but of course an actual high quality digital camera/camcorder is ideal.
In Pasadena I seemed to get a pretty quick passover at the security gate and believe I could have snuck a camera in, but why risk losing it to security and ruining the evening?
It's a risk that they might find it when you're searched, but I don't think it's a huge problem to sneak one in. At the 4 Moz gigs I've been to I've seen plenty of cameras and snuck one in myself twice. And the most important "ethical" or whatever question in my mind regarding cameras - does Morrissey care? I don't think he does. His security at the stage didn't seem to mind, (although possibly they were more worried about keeping people off the stage), and I've seen plenty of digital pictures of Moz on stage looking right into the camera smiling or posing.
My advice is to experiment with tucking it in your jeans just behind your belt buckle. (Wear a belt with a large ish buckle, and a loose shirt over it). If no one notices it around your house when you try this, chances are you'll be fine in a search. And if security has a metal detector wand, they'll just think they're hitting your belt buckle. Then once you get inside obviously be discreet, but I imagine you'll see so many cameras you won't stand out.
buy a small digital camera and stick it in your sock..then wear loose fitting pants so it isn't obvious..they never check there! works for me all the time.

I cant imagine security would actually take the time out to confiscate your camera phone. cuz that means they would actually have to closely look at your phone to even make sure it IS actually a camera phone. plus, what if you really need your phone to make an actual call?? I'd assume most places, theyd be in a hurry and just do a quick check of your bag and pockets to make sure you arent bringing in anything illegal. a regular camera i could possibly see them confiscating. but a camera phone? i think that might be pushing it. theyd have to take almost everyones phone if that was the case....
