Camera pros/Photographers: Feedback?

Looking to buy a good quality, inexpensive camera ASAP

It needs to be:
>under $200, +/-
>at least 14 MP
>rechargeable (I plan on using it a lot and don't want to deal with carrying/purchasing replacement batteries often)
>not too bulky
>at least 6x optical zoom
>at least 4x digital zoom
>LCD screen
>Image stabilization/vibration reduction

Mainly going to be used for yearbook photography over the next several months. We're trying to get the book to suck marginally less.So, lots of action shots and instantaneous candids. Events like high school rallies, talent show, drama productions, soccer, etc. You get the idea

Considering a few that meet my requirements, ranging from $82-215, just looking for user feedback.
