point/shoot recommendation?

[jbrady33]

looking for a good pocket size point and shoot, any recommendations?

Have used Canon Powershots for years, was the only pocket camera that took nice pics and ran on AA batteries. Understand the limitations of the format, looking for the 'best' of that breed, my needs:

Swapable battery packs
Very small
fast to take the #@s& pic when the button/screen is pushed.
Good pics

Will almost always be on auto, don't want or need interchangeable lenses

Thanks all!
