Which of these cameras is best for sports photography?

I am looking for a camera for photographing sports and I can buy any of these three in a bundle in the $100 price range. Which of these cameras is best for photographing Action Sports?

1.Kodak Easyshare Z1285
2. Nikon Coolpix L15
3. Canon Powershot A 590 IS

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

None!

They all suffer from shutter lag and that means you will be missing shot after shot as the action goes on and on.

You need long lenses to cover sports .. the Kodak has the longest of the three.

You need to be able to shoot at high shutter speeds and only the Canon gives you control over the shutter speed and or aperture

You may have noticed that people who shoot sports, usually have a DSLR around their neck … at least an entry level one. There are four primary reasons: 1) they have shutter lag that measures in milliseconds, 2) they have huge sensors compared to P&S cameras (thus higher quality images are possible), 3) they have interchangeable lenses (you can by longer and longer lenses as you can afford them) and are fully adjustable using aperture or shutter speed priority modes.
