To get good pics in a dark club, you either need a camera with a very powerful external flash and one that can take extended exposures without a flash. Of course, no flash is usually hit or miss so digital is nice because you see the result right away. I believe my Nikon 990 can do a flash override, but might no have a long enough exposure to do it well. Long exposures have tons of other issue though. My Olympus OM2 was porbably the best for those kind of shots.The short answer is no, they won't be real thin and they won't be $500. At $1,000, maybe. With any built in flash, you'll need to be within 10-15' to get decent pics.

Thanks Rod, any models specifically? I would say price ceiling of $2500. Not looking to make this another expensive hobby, but willing to spend some cash to get this done right. 10' is perfect as I'm ususally well within that distance to the musicians. Thanks
The Canon G1 can take an external flash. This will substantially increase your chances of getting great shots in dark clubs. Of course, the flash unit may be as big or bigger than the camera.A small table top tripod might be useful, but probably limited as the camera might get joustled.
I have a small tripod for my Canon A50 (about the same size--actually a tad bit smaller) than the G1 that can, with magic of velcro, be placed in fixed locations (i.e., thin pole) for timer shots. Most likely, your photo subjects will still come out blurred as they may be moving.
Good luck.
