Buy a camera that does what you need it to do not one that looks pretty in your hands, here is a nice guide Buying a digital SLR: Guides: Learn: Digital Photography Review, personally I like nikons but canons are more affordable!

This buy looks quite adequate for auto photography (some may disagree), but put a point and shoot in the hands of a good photographer and you will be surprised at the quality you get. Anyways it the same price at amazon without the bag would check B&H though the package deals are quite good!

All the best...
