What is a good camera with these requirements?

I am an amature (as in, for fun) photographer with really no idea what all the effects are. What I know I want is:
-Fast photo taking
-Good zoom in/out
-Compact, flat camera. (I have this dream of one of those compact flat pink ones)
Do you guys have any suggestions? Websites? Terminology?
Thanks!

Check the cameras on Amazon.com. Be sure you get one that has a rechargeable battery and comes with the charger. Otherwise it will go through AAs like they’re going out of style. What you are looking for will have one lens permanently attached to the camera so try to get one that has the highest zoom rating, like 4x, 7x, or 10x. The higher the rating the further away objects can be zoomed in on. A camera with settings that you can control is good also. Stick with Canon or Nikon. They all use memory cards to store the pictures: either compact flash or SD. The more bytes it has the more pictures it will hold. I have a Nikon DSLR with an 8GB sd card. It will hold 2,000 poster size pictures. I’m sure that the camera you want won’t take a card with that capacity but get the largest one you can. That way you can shoot away without worrying about running out of room. The cards are eraseable also. Go to Flickr.com to their camera finder and it will tell you which are the most popular cameras on the site and also which are the best. The camera you are looking for is called a Point and Shoot. Sorry to be so long winded. Best of luck. Join Flickr. It’s free and amazing. One more thing. You want image stabilization (IS) or vibration reduction (VR). They are the same thing.
He knows that Canon and Nikon are the best. Don’t get too caught up in the mega pixel (MP) thing. It’s more about your lens and settings. A 12 MP camera will rarely shoot in that high of a resolution.
