Nikon 4800

[barrelracer]

I am VERY new to digital photography and had been reading reveiws and looking around and trying to decide which camera I wanted to go with. My husband bought me the Nikon 4800 for a early Christmas gift but it has not arrived yet. I am curious as to what people think of this camera. If I do not like it, what should I go with? I currently use a Nikon N90 SLR and a Canon Z135 little automatic camera. I enjoy taking action photos(rodeo events. LOVE my Nikon N90 for this!!! It's SUPER FAST!!) and we travel a good deal(I use the Canon Z135 for that). Also chase my 4 year old daughter around and snap TONS of photos of her. I like taking macro pictures too. Is the 4800 going to disapoint me??? We CANNOT afford to buy a digital SLR. Between taking care of horses, my daughter, and barrel racing, we have to stay on a pretty tight budget. How is the 4800 for action shots?? (if I pan the camera and follow the moving object?) I had a little HP Photosmart digital (first and only digital I've ever had up until now. Bought it in July) and I got decent outdoor action shots with it but i had to really follow the subject. TERRIBLE night time shots or indoor arena shots!! Also, TERRIBLE shutter lag.( The Nikon N90 has RUINED me!!)Overall, I guess what I need to know is how the little Nikon 4800 is going to work for what i enjoy doing and if it won't do, what will work on my budget?((up to $400.00) Thanks and forgive me if i posted in the wrong forum. Also, sorry if i sound dumb but ya don't know til ya ask!!

You have to use half pressing to focus beforehand and it won't focus easily to moving target (like pretty much all non-SLRs), after that shutter lag is 0.1s.
