If you need something rugged, this is a good one

I purchased this to replace an easly damaged Canon S100. The Canon was an impressive camera with GPS (necessary for wildland-travel photography) and outstanding photo quality. However, it was not weather sealed, and came with a fragile leaf-style lens cover. In the end, dust did the camera in. As good as it was, it couldn't stand up to outdoor use This Panasonic is easier to use, takes very good images, is rugged and pocketable. I do not like menu-based functionality at all, but Panasoic's is much easier to use than Canon's I appreciate not having to worry about it continually. I grew up using indestructible Nikon film SLRs, and need something tough. I hope this is it.

It's waterproof

Took it on a rafting trip. It lay in the bottom of the raft under water for most of 5 hours . No problem. For some reason more than 10% of the open air pictures came out not in focus, the rest were sharp. Took pictures after dark but the camera relies on a slow shutter speed. You need clear water and some distance between the camera and your subject for underwater pictures, otherwise they won't be in focus.
