I’m looking into getting a camera for takeing pictures at sport events (mostly paintball) and I need a camera that can take good pictures while the person is moving….. And any upgrades?. Aslo no camera over like 375

Go for the GoPro HD Motorsports Hero.It is especially made for dynamic sports so it takes great action shots and it is well under your budget. Features include:
Professional-grade full HD video up to 1080p
60 frames per second option in 720p and WVGA resolutions provides liquid smooth slow motion playback
Videos can be easily edited with iMovie or Windows Movie Maker
Industry’s widest angle (170º) and sharpest lens captures more of the scene, including you
Includes easy-to-apply mounts for attaching camera to any helmet, motorcycle, car, ATV, jet ski, snowmobile, boat, or virtually any vehicle.
Impact-resistant housing is waterproof to 180 ft (60 meters)

    Most camera should be able to capture decent pictures in "very good lighting". I emphasize good lighting because it does have to be good. A bright sunny day is good lighting. Cloudy is ok, but you will start to see more blur in action shots.

    If you want to be able to take good pictures in most lighting (such as, sunny, cloudy, very well lit field.) Then you will have to up your budget and get a dslr.

    The best and easiest to use is the Casio. The best lens advantage is Canon. Most come with video as well now.

    Really any will do … Look for a camera with about a 10x optical zoom and what is called a "rainsleeve" to protect the camera from the paint

    You should probably get an entry level DSLR. Both Nikon and Canon are good choices. It;’s better to get a DSLR because you will have more control on the settings and esp. for sports events where you need to control shutter speed.
