I would think you'll be fine. I usually bring in my 18-250mm and it's a little longer than a credit card as well. Have a smile on your face and be friendly and that will get you further than anything else.

It now appears that Staples Center has changed its camera policy. In the past it said you could bring cameras with interchangeable lenses as long at the lens was less than 3.5 inches. Now it says NO cameras with interchangeable lenses. Lets see what happens Saturday and share experiences here.

Lateley I have been taking a newer high-end point and shoot. It does a pretty good job while looking non-professional. I wonder how they classify the new mirrorless cameras? They are not DSLRs but have interchangeable lenses.

How are they going to know they have interchangeable lenses? They look like a largish compact.

Mostly I took my wife's Nikon P7100. That's was our concert camera last year. It's nothing special, but it gives you manual control for tough lighting situations, has reasonable low light capability and good battery life. It's not a DSLR but I like it for concerts and hockey games--easy to carry, good pics and no hassels with security. I would love to take game shots down on the glass sometime, but you need a pass for that anyway (or really expensive seats!). Mostly I'm taking shots of family and friends at the game, or just the overall atmosphere and it works fine for that.

The new mirrorless cameras do look a lot like compacts, but some can take really great pictures and video. The Sony NX series is especially impressive. I think you'll probably be able to get those through the door with no problems.

So, a couple pages back I mentioned that I wanted to start doing some portrait stuff. Still starting out, but I've gotten a couple shoots done through word of mouth of friends and all that. Figured I'd post and share some after the advice you guys have given me over the years. Feel free to give me feedback and suggestions. I have some in my head already and I'd like to see if it matches up with what you think. The people I did them for love them, but I want to keep getting better.

Here are some photos I took on the track about a week and half ago. Turns out a 70-200 isn't nearly long enough on certain spots of the track but I still made it work.
