Which of these cams should I get?

I'm going to Michael Jackson's concert at the O2 arena in London this July, and I want to take pictures and videos. I need 2 separate cams that would give me the best results possible in a dark venue. Keep in mind that the cameras have to be small. I've been given these suggestions for video: Sony TG3 : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-High-Definition-Digital-Camcorder/dp/tech-data/B0017HELYQ/ref=de_a_smtd Flip Video Mino : http://www.amazon.com/Flip-Video-Camcorder-Minutes-Black/dp/B0016BXRB6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Panasonic DMC-LX3S : http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-LX3S-Digital-Stabilized-Silver/dp/B001CCNDK4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1237407810&sr=1-2 And I've gotten these suggestions for still pictures: Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR : http://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-F200EXR-Digital-Stabilized/dp/B001R23JMQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1237406447&sr=1-1 Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 : http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-TZ5S-Digital-Optical-Stabilized/dp/B0011Z44UA/ref=pd_bbs_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1237610552&sr=8-3 Please tell me which cams I should get. I really don't know anything about them. At this point, the only one I'm sure about is the Fuji, but I decided to ask just in case someone can suggest something even better. If someone wants to suggest something other than the ones I listed, please feel free to do so. I just want the absolute best quality I can get given the circumstances. Thanks in advance. I also wanted to add that price is not a problem. So don't hold back :p

  1. Both the Sony and Panasonic cameras are decent - I personally don't like Fuji, especially digital because the colors are often inaccurate. Panasonic LUMIX uses a Leica lens, which has long been touted as one of the best lenses out there. I've personally had very good experiences with all Panasonic items I've had also - more reliable than Sony. Check out Canon as well. Canon makes awesome stuff! They make both still and video cameras also.
  2. Fujifulm FinePix F200EXR or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 are both fine cameras
  3. Let me guess, it need to be small because cameras are prohibited at the concert!!!! All cameras will do the same job, the venue is dark and the flash is sending the security guards to your seat in a matter of minutes.
  4. Pansonic LX3 because of its ability to shoot in low light (without flash I think). I want one but it is currenty out of stock. Please check the reviews on Amazon and Dpreview. Lecia has an identical camera but costs $250-300 more.
