What are some really good cameras that aren't expensive?

Anyone know any good digital cameras?

• im 17 and looking for a good digital camera and wanted to get some opinions. i dont need anything too professional or high-tech, nothing too complicated, just one that takes good quality pictures, with some basic settings and a good flash. whats most important to me is the speed, i take a lot of action shots and i cant stand those cameras that take three seconds to take the picture so by the time it clicks whatever your taking a picture of is either gone or blurry. the one i have right now is great, i hold down the button half way to focus and it takes the picture the millisecond that i push it down all the way, so its great for action shots, trouble is its getting pretty old so its not working very well anymore and it drains batteries like nothing ive ever seen, so i end up spending more on batteries then it would cost to get a new camera. i do some photography jobs on the side, like people will ask me to photograph something for a magazine or poster, so it needs to take good quality pictures. i would also like it to be reasonably small, it doesnt have to be tiny but the one i have right now is very boxy and clunky so its a pain to carry around, id like something i can fit in my purse. so basically id like - fast - flash - good quality pictures - reasonably sized - charges with a wall socket instead of needing batteries The most i can afford to spend on it is about $200, preferably less but i understand that cameras arent cheap. anyone have any suggestions?
