New Camera???

[3BluEyedBabies]

SO I have this trip coming up to WDW over Easter and I am seriously thinking about buying a new camera...question is what is the right one for me??

I currently have a little canon p & s. It's nothing special; it's the A1100 IS model with 4x optical zoom and 12.1 mega pixels. I REALLY want to go big and get the Canon T3; but I don't have a lot of time to learn much about using it before our trip and I don't think I want something that big to carry around in the park. Is it really worth spending that kind of money? I do take tons of pictures; but I really need to talk my hubby into that much money for a camera.

Can anyone suggest something else? The most annoying thing with the camera I have now is that it is soooo slow. My kids are very active and I feel like I miss a lot of pictures because my camera doesn't take continuous pictures well. I don't want to miss any character moments!!

Suggestions PLEASE!!
