I think their add. is bhphotovideo.com
Ditto, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home/ is the place to go online. You can find a few places online with radically cheaper prices on some cameras, but most of those have really, REALLY bad reputations. I'd avoid them like the plague, but B&H is great.

I second the Canon. I have the Rebel XT/350D. You should be fine with either the XT/350D or the 20D. If you want to do action photography you will want fast lenses. The faster the better. If you aren't familiar, "fast" means large max aperture or low f-stop number. A good fast lense that's not too pricey for the Canon is the EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM Lens. It's about $600, but even better for action photography would be the 70-200L f2.8, but it's $1100.
