if you are trying to shoot moving objects with a camera such as this will need lots of light (either ambiant or artificial).

this is because the maximum lens aperature is slow in that camera.

also problematic, (for action work) is this camera (and most all consumer digicams) have a "shutter lag" which makes it very difficult to get the camera to your eye, frame your subject, and click off the shot in time to get the image you want. if you try to shoot a basketball game with this camera mostly you will be about 1-2 seconds behind the action. you thought you were getting the jump shot---when you look at the result the players are heading back towards the other basket.

if you must use this camera to shoot motorcycles in motion, then do it on a sunny day and "pan" the camera with the motorcycle in the frame---in this way you can overcome the shutter delay and get passable shots.

there are hi-speed digicams at the pro level (ex: nikon d1-x, etc.) but they are different beasts.

the camera you mention can still do lovely nudes in ambiant light---it has good color. just make sure the models aren't wiggling around...or if they are, use an umbrella, and a slave flash.

avoid on-camera flash.

good luck.
