Seeking advice on self timer camera

[Gleason]

I realize basically all digital camera's have the capability/function of taking a still shot based on a timer..................

The advice I'm seeking is; which model or camera would you recommend for the outdoorsman/fisherman that may want 3-4 pictures in the field or on the water when your hands may be dirty, wet and slimy. The camera's I've previously purcased have all had timer selections, yet you have to basically press tiny buttons repeatedly on a tiny camera that does'nt balance well due too small profile and your photos continually suffer in quality. I wish there were a camera that had a user friendly timer selection option and continually shot photos every couple seconds or so on it's own instead of having to re-select the timer option.
