Express Action Sports

I am a very active person. Lot’s of marathons, triathlons, etc. I would like to have a camera that takes great pics that is light and for on the go. I do not know much, but i would like quality that is a smaller camera and durable. Price range i would like to keep under $100 because it will take a lot of abuse.

Resolution (megapixels) has nothing to do with action photos. Resolution doesnt distinguish action from still.

Many advanced point n shoots have long zooms and "Action" or "Sports" modes which work decently. Some have manual control options which would help. You get more control and features in bridge cameras and even more in DSLRs.

The problem is the more sophisticated the camera the more youll need to learn. Your question tells me you know very little right now. No camera is going to automatically take great photos until you know how to use it.

You need to add more info to your question to get any meaningful recommendations. Whats your price range? Do you want sophisticated or simple? Do you want a pocket camera or something large? Many cameras will take sports photos so you need to narrow down the choices a bit.
