err, do these equipment exist?

The lighting there was quite bad, don't you agree?

I think he meant 24-70L and 70-200L IS.

I prefer to use available light and gave up trying to shoot right at the front of the stage. The best light is between the back wall and halfway down the T.

Thats true. Do you snap when they are in motion, walking down the catwalk? or when they pause?

Why I love digital: indiscriminate continuous shooting.

Generally 1 or 2 shots when they're walking up. Ideally you'd be able to get some shots when they're posing but the light becomes an issue.

I find camera shake is the real problem. In the sweet spot on the stage you can get a faster shutter speed, up to 1/160 at f/2.8 so you can still use 200mm and get relatively sharp pics. At the front of the stage I found the exposure was 1/45s, f/2.8 at iso 800. Still ended up with camera shake when using 80mm. A monopod helps but still no guarantees. Need a tripod or IS / VR.

Lighting was decent. ISO 400 was very usable, in fact, flash only used as fill in.

That's why switched to the cam with the 24-70 to shoot those in front and mid of the catwalk. While they are far back, I switched back to the cam with 70-200. IS does helps, but it's just a means, camera shake will still blur your shots even with IS or VR on.

Personally, I find 24-70 more viable option to shoot them as they walk down the catwalk. 70-200 is for the more static shots.
