Help please... whats the best camera for my money?

Hey im looking for a camera and here's what i am looking for... i want a camera that can zoom in real long and take pictures with out loosing quality some cams tend to take blurry like pictures when u zoom in anyways the reason i want this is because im going to a sporting event and didn't get too close of seats ... again i want to get up close and not take blurry pics please help this will be the first digital i buy also, i wan a digital camera that has sound and video basiclly i want the best camera for my money and keep in mind i do not want to spend a furtune thanks alot in advance for any help

Even though I personally own this ultra compact camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:

1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. Has tripod mount on bottom of camera;
9. And the price is a mere $120 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]

Good luck!

all Casio cameras.
me and my mom both have them and there have been no problems that were major.
i got mine for $200 and it stores up to 200 pictures at a time.

I'mm........ go to ebay.com or go to Target or Walmart.

From my experience, Pentax provide the best quality and great prices are available on the net. I recommend the latest Pentax Optio. Pick the smallest megapixels (5M is plenty) if you can but go for the maximum "optical zoom" 5x or more (but hard to find)
I have an older Optio 555, that does good quality video/audio and pictures. Only 5Mpixels but awesome. The newer models are MUCH more compact.

Canon PowerShot S80 that for the best picture... that is me option but prize kind high about $ 450

Try this one.. rather, read for yourself and make a decision. I'm pro Nikon, however I do like this one.
