I shoot Water Polo, so I need a camera with a high shutter speed and rapid/continuous shot (at least 3-4 per second). In Canada, Polo is an indoor sport, so it has to produce a quality picture under artificial light. Lastly, if it could be waterproof (or at minimum, strongly water resistant), that would be ideal.
And naturally, I want this as cheap as possible [;-)
I'm a coach, shooting this for things like player cards, pictures to sell and marketing. I'm no pro, and don't know much / anything about focal lengths, and definitely don't want to get into changing lenses. I'll be right at pool side, so there is some splash risk. If I could be in the water, that would be even better, but I have a camcorder for that - although it takes horrible stills.
A buddy got a Sony down in Vegas 3-4 years ago that does a solid job, and it cost him $350 at the time.
I'm not looking to make sports photography a career. My day-job is in Graphic Design, so once I have the picture, I can definitely take care of the rest of it. I'm bankrolling the entire club at my expense, so while I understand the passion and desire to accept nothing but the best from PhotogProfessionals - in this case, all I really need is "good enough to get the job done well".

Sorry to tell you, but what you want is not going to be inexpensive, certainly not cheap.
Cameras like the Nikon D300s and D3s are excellent when shooting under low light. using a fast lens will also help your cause, but again, not inexpensive. The Canon 7D or 1Ds, Mark II would work well too but do not have the low light performance of the Nikon's
How close are you going to be to the splashing water? I shoot swimming meets all the time using a 24-70 mm f/2.8 or 70-200 mm f/2.8 lens and never have to fear getting my camera or lens wet.
