Camera help needed

OK.
Too many complaints about picture (blue) color shift on my old cannon camera.
Best guess, it hit the shop floor to many times + it eats AA batteries + has a five second delay between shots.

My daughter insists the replacement should be a Nikon camera..

Her thought is a "Nikon S600" is enough "camera techno babble" to do the job, and cheap to replace when it gets demolished.

Considering where and how it will be used, shop DIY pictures.
My thought is:
# A new camera.
# Good used camera.
# Refurbished camera.

I have been thoroughly confused by "camera techno babble".

What I need is:
* Take pictures of cars and parts.
* Carbon black on black (filthy parts) in low or no light.
* Freshly machined parts under intense inspection lighting.
* Close up shots from 12-28 inches to show cracks/damage.
* Many shots from 4-8 feet.
* Car event pictures up to 400 yards.

Suggestions with a minimum of "camera techno babble" (directed to me) are very welcome.


Thank you.
Roy
