Presuming you are talking operational use rather than recreational or professional use durability and size are important. In my day we had two very diverse cameras -- the Leica M-2, and the Pen-EE half-frame 35mm. The PEN-EE was the standard camera in SOG. It was small, durable and basically point and shoot. I asked an intel specialist about taking pictures and he said all we had to do was get a focused image on film. The lab would take care of the rest. I'm sure that this is even more true with digital cameras.

BTW: The wuestion came up with the Leica which seemed like a formidable, complicated camera. It was complicated but the main object was to have the picture in focus.
