I am a lay person who wants a good, quality camera that I can grow with. I have teenagers in sports, so it needs to shoot action and zoom quickly.

I would like some manual features, but not too complicated because I don't know what I'm doing. Can you suggest a camera for me? Thank you, Fran Gill

I have got the Olympus SP 560 UZ, but it has got some auto focus problems and in sports that is not a good thing.
