Ok, firstly, Hi!
I'm Phil, as you know it's almost christmas, and I'm getting a camera.
I currently have a Fujifilm camera but that's not that useful for me anymore as it's a film camera and i can't afford to keep getting pictures developed, i also have a Mustek DV4000 video recorder/camera. they're both good-ish but i need something better.

I want something that's:
  • around 100-130 pounds/ $190-220....
  • has between 4/5 megapixels
  • is a digital camera
  • is small and light
  • has at least a 3x optical zoom
  • preferably takes SD memory cards (but that's not the top priority)
  • is good for taking photo's of sports (i.e when i press capture it captures that exact thing, not 2 seconds later...)
  • has an LCD screen
  • looks fairly nice (not too important)
  • that's it!
