Dance Concert Shooting I have a Canon EOS 3000N and would like to shoot zoomed photos of my daughter in a dance concert without flash. The zoom needs to be at least 300. Please advise ... Suggested lens type? Do I need IS (image stabilization)? Film type 800? Camera settings? Tripod? Thanks.

Staying with your requirement of 300mm, the best lens to use would be a 300 2.8. But that's not considering price. So if price is a concern, you may have to come down on the focal length to around 200mm. There are 70-200 2.8 zooms and telephotos that are 200 and 2.8. The cheapest price is around 650. IS will help prevent the hand-holding blur, but doesn't do anything for blur from movement if you don't pan with the subject. You'll need 800 even with a 2.8 lens. A tripod will work like an IS.
