I have gone through several point-n-shoot cameras over the years and have settled on the Olympus TG series (I currently have the TG5). Waterproof (not just water resistant -- I take it diving, literally), shock/crush-proof, good optical zoom, aperture up to f/2.0 (great for low-light situations), focuses down to 1cm distance, excellent macro functions including stacking on-the-fly (very few cameras can do that). Bottom line, you can take a photo of a moss peristome, have it fill most of the frame, do it in near darkness, and have the whole subject three-dimensional in focus. Purchase the optional LED light ring if you are taking macros.
