I want to buy a digicam as per the following requirements:

1. MegaPixels is not an issue. 7 MP is just fine.
2. Optical Zoom : Atleast 3x. Preferably 4x but 3x is ok.
3. Should be sleek & pocketable (Very Very Important)
4. Should have Li-on battery. No AA batteries. (If AA batteries are an additional option then thats ok)
5. Crisp & Large LCD screen.
6. Should have good video capabilities
7. Budget 10k. Can stretch by 2k max.
8. Brand: Canon, Nikon, Sony

Digicams considered but ruled out:
Canon 590IS: I know its very good but is very bulky.
Sony W120: Meets most of my criteria but LCD screen is very low resolution.

Currently looking at Canon IXUS 80 IS.

Any recommendations?

Ixus range anything is a good choice. Additionally now it is available with IS too. You have chosen the right one.
