I am looking for an ultra-compact or compact digital camera. It should fit in a shirt or trouser pocket. I am looking for something with a good battery life and picture quality. It should be a decent performer in low and night light too.

Budget: Around 20K

Canon SX220/30 HS.

Its small enough to fit in the pocket, but its size borders compact. Feature-wise, it can't be beaten at the price.

Else there is also Canon 310 HS (Compact), Panasonic TZ20 (Compact) and finally Sony DSC-TX55 (Ultra Compact)

I am inclined towards the Sony T-series because of their size and body but most of them are with touch-screens these days which are buggy. I really liked the Sony TX-10 which is waterproof and shockproof but it has touch-screen woes.

Any other options similar to the Sony T series?

The s95 probably has the best low light n otherwise picture quality of everything mentioned up there. If you want to compromise on quality slightly for better zoom, look no further than the tz20.

The second cam has stereo audio in Movies (mono only in the first link) and more zoom.

I think the first cam is a better bet as its wider and has a smaller zoom lens which (in general) means sharper photos.

I have finalized the Sony DSC-WX150. Thanks. I am just waiting for it to be launched now. It shows "Coming Soon" on the Sony India website and has a MRP of around 14,990/- Rs. Looks sweet.
