Heh, yeah, sports needs more reach than kit lenses tend to have! And preferably faster lenses... which are heavy and bloody expensive. If it's mostly daytime outdoor sports, it shouldn't be too big an expense for a very worthy cause, though.

I know what you mean about too much work and worry. I take the DSLR when going out specifically for a walk (or a trip) where taking pics is going to be a big part of the outing, but I wouldn't really just drop it in the bag on a normal work day or when going out shopping, etc. Too bad there isn't really a "perfect" pocket camera out there! They all seem to have some good sides and some rather annoying bad sides.
