These are the tools used by professional journalists as backup cameras. They are made of metal and are well sealed.
I'm a photojournalist. I buy equipment that can take abuse and keep working. The aforementioned Canon cameras may be "too much camera" for your uses but all you have to do is set it all on auto mode for everything and let the camera do the rest. The real big deal is that they are reliable tanks and in a shop, you need something that can take some abuse.

You can't go wrong with Canon's G series. I went with a Samsung TL500 with a Schneider 1.8 zoom lens. Bought it because of the Schneider lens and the weidest angle is equivalent to a 24mm in full frame dslr world while most compact do not go wider than 28mm. Also that I can shoot at 16:9 is a huge plus for me.
Great little camera comparable with the Lumix LX3 for little money.
