Set some peramiters

Unfortunatly my digi cam seems to be taking a turn to the bad. It is now automaticaly adjusting itself between shots, and some of the buttons are sticking........So I think it's time to reivest. Could you send me some ideas? I need to shoot high speed action, low light action (bands in bars), and super wide angle (tight interior rooms that incorperate floor, walls, ceilings). I would like to stay with in $1,000. I would like to keep it simple. I don't want to have to interchange lenses and it should fit in my pocket.

Thanks Pals,
GIL
