What type of digital camera should i get?

will use it for sports photos and just all around photos, must have a quick shutter speed...any ideas?

pictures for sports, and others
fast shutter speed, small, pocket size
no slr

Nikon Coolpics are good, as is Olympus, Kodak, Canon, HP, Fuji etc/ If cost is a factor, try ebay or buy closeout stock at places like WalMart.

nikon, d series

i think the best so far are Canon Digital Cameras specifically the Canon IXUS editions ... most recommended camera today

Panasonic DMC - LZ2

i've always owned sony brand cameras,and they work well for me

Check the Nikon CoolPix 7900, it has 7.1 mega pixels and a specific mode for Sports and continuous auto focus with high shutter speeds.

It is a compact camera with many great features including a high resolution full PAL or NTSC unlimited Video time with sound (only limited by the size of the SD flash memory)

Perfect cam for you with ease of use yet maintains an SLR feel would be Fuji Finepix S5600 (s5200 US) and you will realize I am speaking the truth.
