Depending on what kind of pictures you want and how you will use them, you might want to consider Sony's a6000 series cameras.
My wife and I both use the Sony a6000, and also have one more as a backup. It will easily do everything my DSLR will do, and even do some things better.
Pluses:
- Compact, mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses. It will fit easily in my bar bag;
- Has a large 24 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor that can produce high resolution (6000 x 4000 pixel) poster size photos;
- Has an electronic eye level viewfinder, as well as a rear screen. This is the primary reason my wife and I use these cameras;
- Wide range of excellent lenses are available;
- Durable, I have shot over 50,000 photos with my a6000; and
- The reason I did this is the camera will shoot at a rate of 11 frames per second which is great for sports and other fast action activities.
Minuses:
- It is hard on batteries, depending on what we are shooting, we will each carry up to 3 batteries.

This panned photo of my wife was shot using an a6000 at 1/40 second exposure, 11 fps, and the great auto focusing features of the camera.
