Long time Cowboys fan and I am taking my Family to see our first game in Texas Stadium(been to away games but never in Texas stadium).  I read the Fan Info and it says cameras are permitted, but not with extended or zoom lenses?  I was in the process of purchasing a camera, because the last game we went to the picture quality was horrible and I had NO ZOOM on the little digital camera we took.  Can anyone tell me what are some of the cameras that you guys take to the games?  Size?  Model etc?

I think when they say "Zoom Lense" they are talking about the 8-12 inch lenses you can put on the camera to zoom in with like 50X optical zoom.

You need to get a 7-8 Megapixel camera with a 10x optical zoom but only if you wanna drop at least $250 on a camera. I spent $130 on a 7 megapixel cannon with 3X optical zoom. It takes HD pictures and great panoramic shots. Also, I wanted to make sure I got something small as possible. It sucks when you have a big bulky camera in your pocket while trying to actively watch the game.

 Get a camera that is slim and lightweight as possible.

Good luck.

I really appreciate it.......Yeah I was looking at a slim Panasonic with 10X optical zoom.  

Thanks Again

I have a Kodak EasyShare Z740, which my husband got for me with a photo-printer docking station for around $300.

I've had it for about 2 years now, and I love it! It is has a 5.36 megapixel resolution, 10x optical zoom, built-in flash, and LED viewer as well as the tradition kind. It can take still shots and video clips, which are stored on standard SD cards that makes transfer to PC a piece of cake. (But then so does having the docking station. LOL) And the camera runs on double-A batteries, which makes it very convenient for use during family vacation trips and such. I used it during a tour of Texas Stadium, and I plan to have it around my neck at this year's Thanksgiving day home game against Seattle.

(PS. After I showed my Dad the pictures and video of the Texas Stadium tour and last summer's vacation, he took his new Sony digital camera back and bought a Kodak camera like mine, only I think he bought the next grade up from the Z740. I can't recall the letter name of it, but his is black instead of silver and a bit better on the megapixel resolution.

I really appreciate the Help.......too bad I already purchased the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5K(Black) before reading your post.  But it seems to be a pretty good camera too?

I went and looked up your camera, and it's like the original camera I was looking at and thought was too big!  I was looking at a Nikon that had a 15X optical Zoom, that was about the same price as the camera I purchased......but like I said I thought they would say it was too big!   Might have to return it!!!!!   But the panasonic I bought is small sleek and pretty nice to be a point and shoot.
