Camera help.

[ZeroLogic]

Well I want to buy a camera just to take pictures of nature and such along with action shots of bikes. What is a good camera for this that don't have a large price tag? I don't want to spend much over $300. I was looking atthis (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830120043). What do you guys think? Any suggestions on cameras? I am a newbie to cameras and know very little about them but I want a decent camera becasue I don't want to go and buy another one every few months to upgrade if you know what I mean.
Thanks.

Exactly! They're clueless, they just like to think they know what they're talkin about and it's hilarious when you call em out on something...lol

Here's a review on the camera.
http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-s3-is/4505-6501_7-31740582.html?ar=o&tag=pdtl-list

c-net usually has pretty honest reviews on the products always pointing out the bad with the good.

It appears to have a decent picture, to picture rate which to me is one of the most important options. If you can only take a picture every 5 seconds you're gonna miss out on a lot of opportunities. In daylight it takes 0.4 sec to shoot, and 1 sec between pictures. Which is pretty good for a $300 camera.
