Digital Camera

[peachy]

Ok...i have a problem - i know every little about digital cameras and me researching it myself is a bit meh too since i get confused! So heres the deal! I had a nikon 3100 but i beat it to hell and i loved the pictures it took (great great for wakeboarding close ups real clear) I still have it but the bottom part that holds the batteries in stays half open. Anyways then i got a Sony 4.1 cybershot - which took decent pics at a normal range but it wasnt as clear close up or zoomed in as my Nikon was. I leave in a week for quite a few trips and was gonna get yet ANOTHER camera before i left, any suggestions? I need this for all arounds uses - close up, normal, dusk, active (wakeboarding), etc. Any help is greatly appreciated! Merci!
