Cameras

Looking for a few good cameras...
Actually, I'm looking to buy one new camera. Thinking about a Canon Rebel XT; I've heard that's a good one. Some blogs that I visit regularly include pictures taken with this camera, and they're always fantastic. Since this is a major purchase and I need very specific features, I'm going to look at a lot of cameras before I buy. For instance, I need one that takes great action shots...gotta get sharp clear pictures of my grandson playing ice hockey! So, I'm off to do some research.
