If the interior shots are well lit, you should be fine with any decent camera. Lighting and post processing are going to be more important than the camera, assuming you start with something decent... S120, g16, g7x. Any of these will be more than up to the task.

There will be no pp or external lighting. Does that change your opinion?

That will depend on the natural light if it's indoor shots. If low light, then the 1" or bigger sensor is probably what you want... Though at typical web sizes, the difference may not tell.

If well lit, then sensor size won't matter much, if at all...

No offense, but to not PP shots for professional portfolio or anything other than social sharing/casual shots would be foolish and shoddy.

I don't mean need to shoot RAW and labor over the images for hours, generally curves/levels/brightness/exposure/saturation and unsharp mask will do wonders.

You're preaching to the choir. I have a D7100 and am not shy about using Lightroom. But it's just not going to happen with the FIL. He's looking to take pictures that are less blurry and grainy. Agree with you, but I'm just being realistic.

If that's the case, I'd go with one of the 1" sensor cameras (assuming indoors not well lit).

You should take this guy aside and teach him a few quick photoshop edits. In 30 seconds or less he can vastly improve the picture with a few simple edits.
