Whats the best Digital Camera out there?

I’m looking for a digital camera that takes awesome action shots for sports. I would also like to use it as an everyday camera. Was thinking about the canon rebel XTI anyone have any input on this. I would really like some HELP! An image stablizer would be nice, and one that will take photos in a gym without it being too dark!

You will not find any sensor based image stabilizing on Nikon or Canon DSLR’s … they do that on lenses, specifically designed for the length of the lens. The professionals that use Nikon and Canon cameras demand more performance from their cameras, so you will not see any "universal" fixes on their cameras (no one size fits all design).

That said, good photo taking techniques, fast lenses, IS or VR lenses and judicious control of ISO settings makes the success of shooting indoors higher than using a camera as an expensive point and shoot.

Next time you are watching a pro shoot an indoor sporting event, note their style of shooting and the equipment that is being used.

    Not sure if you want to go this route or not, but I have a Canon S5 IS that has image stability on it, but I used this method to make it do a lot more than I ever thought I could found below, it adds tons of features you might like, doesn’t mess up your camera and is easy to do:

    The current Pentax DSLRs offer in body image stabilization system that automatically adjusts to each lens and its focal length, including zooms.

    For older manual focus lenses you do have to tell the camera the focal length when using the image stabilization feature.

    The Pentax’s do suffer from the "one size fits all" syndrome, any Pentax K mount lens ever made will work on the latest DSLR cameras and will be image stabilized.
