I shot a set for a friend this weekend and I managed to get one song edited last night. I had 2 GH2's (handheld) and 2 GH1's (drummer cam and soundboard cam on tripods). Audio is from a Zoom H1 (straight recording, I'm not sure how to best master that audio yet).
The handheld angle that is clearest is my GH2 with the Olympus 75mm at 2.2. I'm absolutely in love with this lens. Everything I shoot with it (stills and video) looks amazing. I used a follow focus for most of it, but several times I had to hold the camera way above my head to get over the crowd. I used autofocus for those parts, which was fast and locks on solid. The other handheld angle is a Tokina 135mm FD at 2.5.
I had two other cameras going as well, a GoPro and a Contour Helmet cam, neither do well in low light though and I didn't really need the extra angles so I didn't use them.
Flow motion on the GH2's, 44mb Reliability hack on the GH1's.
