What is the best camcorder to buy for a family?

I would like to know a make and model of the best camcorder! I need to video kids sporting events. The zoom feature must be better than average to view from stands and get close up good quality shots. Budget is not as important, but must be reasonable. What are some other factors to consider? I have have never purchased camcorder, only digital cam with video capability. Thanks!
