What's your budget? And what do you mean by "really good zoom capabilities"?
Without knowing either of those, my first recommendation is the Panasonic G3. It's relatively small for an interchangeable lens camera, and it has relatively good low light performance (on par with entry level crop sensor DSLRs). It's also capable of using Pany's 100-300mm zoom lens, although this will increase the overall size significantly, and the lens is too slow to use in low lighting conditions. (To be fair, any 300mm lens that can do well in low light is going to be both very large and very expensive.)

I am looking to replace my Canon SD1100 IS. I'm not sure if I want another point and shoot or try DSLR. I would like to be able to use at indoor school functions which usually have low lighting and fast movement. My Canon was never able to capture photos quick enough or be bright enough. I would also like a camera with really good zoom capabilities. I read up on a few that are good in low light situations and seem to have decent zoom; however, many of the reviews complained the photos were "soft". I'm assuming that means not crisp. I like crisp photos. I am a camera novice and am just starting to enjoy photography. But I'm not sure I want to get into a big, bulky DSLR because we travel often with two small children (less luggage=better), nor the complicated steps involved in taking pictures. I think I may be getting too particular with my wish list, but if any one has any suggestions I'd REALLY appreciate it.
