Digital would be very hard to find under around 6-700, even with a bf deal.

Well, an SLR uses a mirror/prism in the center of the body to reflect the image to the viewfinder. Because of this system, the lens detaches (so you can purchase lenses in all different ranges based on what you want to take pictures of).
Digital SLRs have manual functions as well as point and shoot modes- but since you aren't going for the photography aspect, I think you are better off getting a standard point and shoot for what you want to accomplish.
Also, in terms of a DSLR, you won't be able to view the photo you are about to take on the display screen on the back- you will have to use the viewfinder. It's only after the picture is taken, when u can see the image on the display.
I would go for a point and shoot in your case, and maybe one that has some manual abilities if you want to change some settings later on if you want to get more advanced in it. And most point and shoots do have a "sports" mode so you can take pictures quickly, without having to get technical with it.
