Are Olympus SLR's good for shooting at concerts?

Question

I'm thinking about buying an Olympus SLR, and I like taking pictures at shows. I've never actually seen any live concert pictures shot with an Olympus camera, so I was wondering is it because they aren't the best to shoot live?

Answer 1

It may be because all the pros use Nikon's and Canon's ...  Olympus SLR's were very popular with field scientists because of their size and of course they had fabulous optics as well.

Pros needed more robust cameras so size was not an issue ... in fact, if shooting with long lenses handheld, the heavier the better.

Now the Olympus DSLR's are out and they have the smallest sensors of all the DSLR's  .... one half the size of a full frame camera
