My photos just never seem to be as sharp and clear as other people's and even with the settings for movement and poor lighting good luck having any of those turn out.
My suggestion, if you're going with a point and shoot, get a tripod. You won't regret it. If you're not shooting with a tripod, you should be using two hands at all times when taking the photos... keep your arms tucked close to your body to minimize shaking. Its tough with a point and shoot sometimes because you don't have the control over the settings like you would with a DSLR. I guess my last suggestion for you, make sure there is enough light... even shooting with settings that are optimized for action and poor lighting... the camera can only do so much. I think the biggest thing that can help you is a tripod.
As far as other models... I don't know anything about the one you posted... sorry. lol It looks decent enough. I am a Nikon shooter, but Canon is good too. If you did decide to go with another brand, I prefer what Nikon does for point and shoots over Canon. I had both a Canon PowerShot and a Nikon CoolPix and the CoolPix outdid the PowerShot by leaps and bounds on every level.

I was hoping she would show up today but she didn't. Haven't heard from the seller yet either.
