Hi, Im am looking to buy a new digital camera, but I can't make up my mind.
I really don't know that much about cameras so I figured this forum would be useful.
Previously I owned a Nikon Coolpix S51 camera, the size was great, but it was a bit complicated for me. Difficult to focus, and it took too long to take the pictures. I am into motocross and I need a camera that can capture images in motion.
Here are some features I am looking for, I hope they help.

Budget
max. 250dlls

Size
Ultraportable

Features and General Usage
I am no expert in cammeras, so I don't really know a lot about features.
I want the camera to be able to capture pictures fast, in motion (I race bikes, and I want the camera to be able to capture those shots)
I am also going on a trip to Europe this summer so I want the camera to have a decent image quality, and a zoom that doesn't distort the image too soon.

Miscellaneous
I would prefer a known brand (I feel more secure)
I am interested in a Olympus Stylus 770 SW (found it on Amazon.com for 200 dlls, i think its a good deal). Does anybody know about this camera?
It would be cool if the camera could be weatherproof and shock resistant so I can take it biking and skiing with me, but I am open to other options.


I'll be waiting for your comments, thank you in advance!

Hi tmenchaca.
If you are still not sure which camera to choose I would strongly recommend to buy this one:

I'm its happy owner more than month and love it so far.
I have bought Panasonic DMC-TZ4 for $214 and for this price I think it is impossible to buy any better digicam.
Do not hesistate to ask the questions, if you have
Cheers
