Fast shutter shouldn't be an issue - at least I've never had a problem. Many of the newer cameras have USB charge ability but I personally hate that as you can't charge the battery out of the camera. Depends on your workflow. The "tough" is your first determining factor. If you want to go ultra-tough then choose between those. If a "regular" one is ok, then your choices broaden and you can get better low light performance and other capabilities. For P&S I have a Canon S110 and like it fairly well. Lens is a little slow on the long end but can't beat the size. If you want relatively fast glass there are a couple of ones to consider. This is a pretty good "round-up" of some suspects:
