What is the best digital camera for sports events?

I need to video tape my son at his basketball games and I always end up putting the camcorder away before the end of 1st quarter..lol

Thx Bryan but is there a digital that zooms for wide shots and is perfect for action shots?

panasonic or sony are 2 very good makes. Yes, there are digital vesions in both of these. And are very good for action and zoom in shots!! I use mine all the time.
