Canon makes great point and shoot cameras for capturing the moment, but for baseball and NASCAR? I don't think so. Not enough zoom unless your right on the field level. But just about any compact point and shoot would be found lacking. Point and shoots are largely for kodak moments, group shots, etc. Actual sports photography requires a longer zoom and much faster lens. Check out the G9 or G10, Panasonic TZ3. Compact, but with far better features. Popular choices as backup cameras for professionals.
