Can anyone tell me the best 'pocket camera' for shooting moving objects and getting a good clear shot? Like running children....moving dogs, etc.

Yes, it is best to get to know your equipment first and what you really need on the second trip to the store. Go home and read the manual and see what is important to you. It is always nice to have a bag for the accesories but they are on sale somewhere. A good extra battery is always nice; order that from the internet or get one later.

Zoom lens is important to me as long as it is optical. Anyway, shop the internet to find the lowest price then go to the store where you have a great return policy in case something goes wrong in the first 15 days.

Have fun taking photos.

Battery Charger for $60? If it didn't come with one, why would you pay that much for one. Memory card for $100? What did you get--32 GB chip?

Don't blame the sale person for that..

I bought a digital camera at a very reasonable price and am happy with it. However, by the time I left the camera shop, the total price of my purchase had doubled.

This is because the wily salesman got me to purchase a battery charger ($60), a camera bag ($40), a memory chip ($100). The battery charger and batteries (made in China) didn't work after six months. The bag is ok, but I discovered that I could have bought it elsewhere for less than $20 bucks (in China you can get them for $5.00).

Moral of the story: don't buy everything at one place; or don't let your enthusiasm carry you away.
