Be right back with a suggestion...

Amazon.com: Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: Electronics

I have the next model down..... only a 6 MP camera.... the 3IS

OK, you had a $500 price point..... so there ya go. And don't buy it from best buy... you can get it much cheaper, I am sure.

I got my KonicaMinota dimage Z3 off Amazon for just over $200 I think.... 12X zoom.. only 4MP but it's a great camera and I love it. I agree with Papa shop around don't just go to the big dog store... even with shipping you can get a great deal off the website.

Check out the Panasonic FZ18 or the Fuji S8000 . . .

Both 18X optical zoom (28mm-504mm) and selling for $399.99 US.

Both better cameras than the Canon . . . and less expensive!

Remember to look more at optical zoom than digital. Higher optical is better

What's your new price range?

If you can spend a little more, check out the Nikon D40. You can get a 2 lens kit from Ritz for about $700-$800.

If youre going for an ultra-compact the two I reccomend:

Canon SD870, or Fujifilm F50

Great shots Al!!! Much better than the ones you posted a while back.

One thing you might want to consider is an external flash. Most built in flashes have a range of 10-15 feet. An external flash will reach much farther which would really help with those hockey pics.

I didn't use the flash on those PICs, (Glare off the glass)
