Oly TG1: Get a camera that you can turn off the preflash and red eye flash and focus assist so that the flashing of the camera does not attract attention to you rendering you a sudden person of interest. or a target. Successful photography prefers a low profile.

Beginner I
This camera has only the lense cover as the only external moving part so it won't be that affected by sand/dust. I've taken this camera under water to about 30 feet and it didn't leak- it was in the water for about 45 min straight. It feels solidly built though I have dropped it or thrown it. I deployed last time with a different camera that greatly suffers from dust intake- though I know people that had this one in AFG (daily dismounted patrols, not sitting on the FOB) and it's still working great- that's why I got one.
