Added (1). I'm looking for a really good quality camera. Something really close to a SLR camera but without being complicated for a person that doesn't know how to use a SLR one. Does NIKON or Canon has something like that?

Top of the pops might be Panasonic TZ1000.

But actually all DSLRs have a "Program" or "Full Auto"setting which lets the camera do everything for you.

Nikon's Coolpix P series are all high end, such as the P900. Nikon also has a Coolpix A which is high quality. Canon's PowerShot G series, such as the G1X are all high end. But Nikon and Canon are not the only ones with high end compact cameras. The Sony RX100 and RX100 come to mind, and the Fujifilm X20, Olympus Stylus 1, and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000. And of course a Leica, such as the D-LUX 6 or you could get the Leica 10773 M-P (Typ 240), used, for about $6800.

No, currently Nikon and Canon don't have anything that has the image quality of a DSLR in a smaller, simpler format. All Coolpix cameras are point-and-shoots, and the Canon G1x G7x - all of which do not have the image quality of any DSLR or mirrorless camera. Canon and Nikon have really dropped the ball here with only offering cameras with much smaller sensors. The only thing that comes close is Nikon's Coolpix A which has an APS-C sensor. For that reason, you would go with a Sony's mirrorless A7 series (A7S, A7II, and A7R). The A7R has the same 36MP sensor found in the Nikon D800 (Sony makes Nikon's sensors).

In the small body style of camera, Fujifilm's X100T is a great choice with it's large APS-C sensor. The thing about going with a larger sensor is that, yes, your image quality will improve over any other camera with a smaller sensor. But, in addition, you will also have a greater amount of control and adjustability of your exposure and most other aspects of the camera. The small sensors don't need f/stops beyond f/5.6 or f/8 because they are already getting a huge depth of field from using smaller sensors which require shorter focal length lenses. It's the short lenses that produce greater amounts of depth of field, therefore they don't need f/11 - f/22. However, using f/11-f/22 is not only done so for the DOF. Often using smaller f/stops is used to slow down the shutter speed for creative reasons. You can work around this problem by using and filters, but most don't have filter threads which means you have to hold the filter - bad idea.

go to bhphotovideo.com. Look at all mirrorless cameras that are either APS-C or full frame. From those, you'll get a camera with DSLR quality (providing you choose a good lens too, because sharpness of a photo is mostly due to the lens and not the camera body). The quality will be there not only because of the technical advancements of the gear, but also the extended range of creative control that you have, if you are so inclined to use it.

You can use all DSLRs on full Auto mode. All you need to do is point and shoot.

Take a look at the Fujifilm X30 it is a nice point and shoot camera that gives great images without being overly complicated to operate. It does have advanced feature options as well for when you get more comfortable with them.

Photo quality depends on the skill of the photographer. The camera is only a tool so yes, there's something like that. It's whatever camera I'm holding.

Kidding aside though, the Sony Cybershot cameras are so easy to use that if you can't get decent pictures with them under great lighting situations, you shouldn't be allowed to hold a camera ever again for the rest of your life.
