I emailed the 02 and received two completely different responses from two different employees:

Hi

Thank you for your email.

Yes you may bring small digital cameras but no professional photography which means no 35mm lens or bigger.

recording equipment is not allowed at all in to the arena.

Kind regards

Hello Brooke,

Thank you for your email. You are able to bring your camera in as long as the lens does not exceed 35mm. There is not filming at all allowed at all at this concert. I have confirmed this with the venue manager for this event so this is the official information. I hope that this clears it up for you.

Kind regards

I think they are more worried about people smuggling video cameras in housed in large nikons or something. small digital cameras like mine take video but not enough to warrant considering them contraband...

if you have any doubts best to bring a small "box camera" ..one of those kodak disposable cameras still wrapped and sealed -- will not cause any problems I'm sure.

HOLY COW 5 DAYS

That is a nice camera, but it says 46.9.mm on the lens and X6 zoom so they may well have it off you. I have seen security checking the info on lens before but not at the O2, so you could take the chance. You will get it back at the end of the show if they ask you to cheeck it in.

Good luck, I will be trying to get my Canon G7 in, also a good little snapper!

I just got a nice speedy reply from the people down at O2...

Thanks for the e-mail

This camera is unlikely to be allowed into the arena as this is would be considered a semi-professional camera. At full zoom this camera has a 210mm lens and this would not be acceptable. If you brought this camera it might be allowed in depending on the stewards opinion however if it is confiscated you will be given a ticket in order to pick the camera up at the end.

My advice would be, if possible, to find a camera that is smaller and more compact so that you are not disappointed on the night.

I hope this helps.
