looking for a small camera for taking action shots for my wife to use.

my wife has a sony cd-250 camera but it does not take action shots well. She wants a small camera she can put in her purse but will be good for taking pictures at our kids soccer games and such. currently looking at the canon a710 IS. Is this a good camera or should I be looking at something else.

The Canon A710IS is a good option, as is the Kodak C743. Compact. 7.1 Mega Pixels. The A710 has a better optical zoom (6x). Both have the benefit of a viewfinder, which is a vanishing breed, and both use SD cards and shoot in JPG.

You could also take a look at the Pentax T20. Small and compact with equal MP rates. But it's a tad more expensive than it's Canon competitor.

I'd go with the A710IS. It has a Kids & Pets special preset. And you also have a nice video feature for shooting on the spot video moments.

That's the way I'd go.
