Check out the canon P&S line, some have wifi now, my wife loves hers, fixed lens, seldom uses the zoom, discontinued now think it's number was A1500, second one out of that series she had, good shots, small size, no thinking about the camera just point and shoot

Give a price range. I would say look closely at the Canon G9X if it is in your price range.

Look at the Panasonic TG-5 or a used TG-4.

Thanks everyone for all the info right now I'm leaning towards the Panasonic TG 5

Don't forget eBay. A friend has an old Canon P&S, and she regularly posts beautiful pictures on Facebook.

My wife uses the Nikon AW 120, has all those features but We don’t use the WiFi or GPS capability. It’s a bit slow on taking a quick series of exposures and there’s no Msnual mode. Suffers a bit from lens flare issues too.

The TG-5 is an Olympus camera, not Panasonic. I'd go with the TG-5 from Olympus. Now on sale direct from Olympus.

I'll add to the TG-5 list. I have one, it works well and is fun to use. In this case, my wife gave it to me. She thought I needed a camera I wouldn't stress over in crappy conditions. At first, I had to pretend I loved it. It was, after all, a point-and-shoot with a small sensor. After using it for a few days, I changed my mind! It takes great pictures and is full of entertaining things.

One is that the TG-5 can be set to record a GPS track log. If synced with your clock on your big camera, you can tag all your shots for location data. There is also a track log app where you could track your wife!
