canon lens for sports - question?

I have a canon Rebel which I bought for Christmas last year. My first experience since the 70’s 110mm pocket camera, then digital age came in with pocket cameras and now I am back to SLR’s after 30 od years… Anyway, I developed some interest in getting results at taking pictures at my daughter’s basketball games in dim lights (are they saving energy? good lord!!) so I have been looking for lightweight, USED, big aperture zoomers. I have seen a few with an appt of f4 135mm-200mm lenses on eBay for a fairly good price. I have no interest in 200mm but maybe 80mm or 120 or less. Now, is the lower the number the more light it lets in? (I forgot!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Like is an f3.5 a wider aperture than an f4? More light gets in? Or is it the other way around? Dang it, I am cold!!!! haha Anyway, what do you recommend? Teach - and…. help..
I have a budget of about $300 - I have a Canon rebel… not sure if I can even set the ASA on this thing. its fully automatic.. I just set it to the little "jogger" icon and I assume it is for fast photography. Now you know how advanced I am… :)
the lower the number, the bigger the aperture, the more light that gets in…
it also means heavy and expensive…

some examples for the Canon
70-200mm f/2.8
300mm f/2.8
400mm f/4

Cheapest:
70-300mm f/3.5-5.6 <— this is a very slow lens; but should have enough reach to capture your daughter up close. try the highest iso and hope that is enough.

There are some other primes that might interest you.
85mm f/1.8
85mm f/1.2
135mm f/2

what’s better NIKON D90 or CANON powershot S51S?


Are you sure you don’t mean the nikon "P90"? Because the nikon D90 and S5IS couldn’t be more different — they’re basically non-comparable. One is a DSLR - Nikon D90 (digital - single lens reflex, w/interchangeable lenses), the other is a point-and-shoot superzoom digital camera - canon S5IS. However the nikon P90 is also a point-and-shoot superzoom digital camera. The nikon has 24x zoom, the canon has 12x zoom. One might draw the conclusion that the nikon is the better camera. The nikon is also much newer and has more resolution. The canon SX20IS is a closer match to the nikon P90. They’re pretty much the same. Links below.

Have a look at the following links from amazon:

What is the best compact digital camera?

My dad mentioned to me that i should get a G12, but as i’m 16 i’d like the camera to be pocket size, so i was thinking of getting a canon s95.

But what is the best compact digital compact camera out? (no maximum price suggested)

thanks

I would consider Canon PowerShot S95 10 MP Digital Camera

10.0-megapixel sensor combined with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor creates Canon’s HS System
Capture 720p HD video in stereo sound; play back on an HDTV via the HDMI output
f/2.0 lens for low light conditions or shallow depth-of-field; control ring for intuitive manual control
3.8x optical zoom; 28mm wide-angle lens; Canon’s Hybrid IS to compensate for angular and shift camera shake
Capture images to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards (not included)
