Which is better Canon, Sony, or Nikon?

I want a digital camera that is good for concerts and I can zoom in a lot if I'm in the high sections. My budget is $175.

With that budget, your best brand choice is FujiFilm.

The highest rated Canon, Sony, or Nikon super zoom in your budget is the Canon PowerShot SX160 IS.

A) There's no better brand, just better models.
b) There ARE no good cameras for concerts that are allowed in without a press-pass, and there's nothing at $175 - a simple search would've answered this question anyway.
c) For bridge cameras, you'll only get a viewfinder and manual controls in your price-range with a Fujifilm. Nikon's L-series are junk.

Here's to drive my point. This one's taken recently at around 150 feet from the front row in the right upper box using a pink Sony Cybershot S980.
