For the most impartial reviews, I suggest http://www.dpreview.com/. This site offers balanced & thorough reviews. I am rather partial to Canon cameras but I have also come across several Kodaks that have had very good color. While the S90 is a very good camera for low light, the Canon SD4000 has also received high marks and might be a little more appropriate to your needs. But truly, it would be best to check dpreview.com and read through their reviews.

I see your post from a few weeks back. Great question. Have you made a purchase yet? I am also seeking a quality camera for indoor sports events without flash.

Amazon has a good selection of air blow guns. For occasional use the primefit will work fine for constant use I would recommend the amflo or forney as they are built to last. Sears, harbor freight or home Depot should have good options too.

Any lens with a Canon mount will work with the camera. What you want is a good zoom lens with a good range. A lens from 18 mm to 200 mm is a very good all around lens that will work for both the ball game and indoors also. But, more than the lens, it is the camera that must be set correctly. For the ball game, you need to use the sports mode which causes the camera to have a high shutter speed to capture the action. Indoors you want to boost your ISO a bit for the lack of light. If you use the camera's flash do NOT use the lens hood since it will block some light and give you a dark half circle on the bottom of the picture.

Go for the canon 50 km prime that's around $100. Search for videos on YouTube. It's great for video!

IMHO no point & shoot camera is good enough for kids. I have bought and tried many of these and none come even close to the speed of a SLR when it comes to kids. Frankly if you want to preserve great memories, please invest in a SLR

My wife this it is great for her indoor shoots. Especially cake smashes because it cleans up so easily. Just make sure, if you are using a flash to use the matte finish side.

These are really cheap. I returned the ones I bought for my school. We bought these: Professional 72-inch TRIPOD FOR All Canon Sony, Nikon, Samsung, Panasonic, Olympus, Kodak, Fuji, Cameras And Camcorders + BP MicroFiber Cleaning Cloth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ONSZPI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_xyOhvb1FF1FZA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ONSZPI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_xyOhvb1FF1FZA

There's the Canon Speedlite 270EX. Its small but not very powerful though it can be bounced off the ceiling (only) in landscape orientation for much more flattering light. The flash uses annoying light pulses in order to assist the camera's auto focus in dim light (more advanced models use a low key red focus assist beam). I can't find a listing for one directly from Amazon right now so be careful who you buy it from. The Sigma EF-530 DG Super is a full-featured powerful flash - I was quite happy with my old EF-500 Super - which offers some features only found on Canon's high-end Speedlite 580EX but its not all that much cheaper than a 430EX II. You'll find the quality of no-name third party flashes varies quite a bit so be very cautious about trying to go too cheap. Metz has a very good reputation for their high end flashes but I'm not really sure about their cheap models. Sunpak has been making good quality flashes for many years but, again, I'm not entirely sure about their cheap models. I'm not sure I'd trust any other brands as they are entirely, or nearly so, all re-labelled Chinese imports of unknown quality. By the way, whichever flash you decide on, be sure to pick up a set of NiMH rechargable batteries. You'll get more shots and shorter flash charge-up times among other advantages. Look for low-self-discharge/pre-charged/hybrid batteries like Sanyo Eneloops. These batteries are made to hold a charge longer while sitting unused so your flash will always be ready to go (standard NiMH will lose their charge over time at a faster rate).

I don't know anything about the Elph 340. I think for indoor photos the Wb30f isn't too good for action shots. But outdoors I think its good.

If all you want is to photograph your kids, a Canon 60D (with its nice articulating screen) might be a better choice, and you'll save tons of money which you can use to buy better lenses.

I own (and love) both of these cameras, but the 6D is my new favorite for the grandchildren. It is quieter and you will never need a flash. The high ISO means you can use a faster shutter indoors -- fewer blurry kids.

This camera does a great job with action shots. I can photograph my grandsons jumping into the swing pool and stop the action as they are entering the was the water including the splash. I have taken water fall pictures and you can stop the water drops in motion. As far a s low light I think the camera will work well with the flash attachment that goes on the hot shoe on top of the camera. I have done ok in low light setting without a flash, but I would need to know more about what you trying to do in low light. Here again you have to keep in mind that this is $300 camera and it will not preform like a $1,000 Cannon. But for $300 it does a great job. The stop action on this camera is incredible.

The solo5 is a much better choice. It is 5 megapixels over 3, has auto focus and and a larger shooting area. Actually, the solo8 just came out! For 349 dollars NOTHING comes close to that.

I just got mine today and have taken 300+ pictures. I've previously owned all Kodaks and a polaroid digital and I think this one takes excellent photos indoors, even with flash on (I usually always hate flash!). I have a 20 month old and have found that the ISO scene selection along with the "burst" shot mode works great for getting him in action.
