It's a Nikon Coolpix 995. They don't make 'em anymore.

The trick to getting a shot like this is you have to anticipate the action and press the shutter about a half second early. Takes some practice but I've got some pretty good stop-action shots with it (remember the dart-throwing guy?).

Anyway, I'm currently thinking about upgrading to the Sony DSC-F828. Bitchin' camera. Plus, unlike its predecessors from Sony, it takes Compact Flash cards as well as Memory Stick, so I don't have to re-invest in additional media. Although the Memory Stick does seem to have a faster recording time, IMO.
