Photographing a Band - specifically a blues band in a small dark club
Neil,
Any advice on photographing a band in a small venue? I have been taking both high ISO (no flash) and TTL-BL flash photos...High ISO keeps the atmosphere of the place but I am still at a very low shutter speed and can't get sharp pictures....with flash pictures are sharp the atmosphere is ruined...Any thoughts ?

Yup .. you're going to love the 85mm f1.4 and 50mm f1.4 that you'll be renting or buying.
Seriously though, there is no other short-cut here other than taking the ISO higher and using fast optics.
I bought D300s and absolutely love it but am now itching to get one more camera body. Debating between D700, or new D7000 or another D300s. Any recommendation?
I think getting another D300s is probably the best option for you in the short-term, because you can make sure the settings on both cameras are the same. In addition, you don't have to worry about the change in placement of controls from one camera model to the next.
Getting the D700 is great, but you will have to deal with the different settings and controls and also the DX and FX differences. The D700 is worthwhile if you are getting full frame lenses soon.
For me, I have one D700 and am saving for another D700 to go with my lenses.
