Can I Get a Recommendation On a Point and Shoot Camera

Looking for a pocket sized P&S. I dont need a ton of optical zoom. Need one with a good Auto setting, good focus and fast shooting. I'd like to fit into my pocket, but does not need to be extremely small. I dont really care for any other features like touch screen, wifi, etc..., if it has them great, if not, I dont care.
Budget is around $400 or less

Prices may be a little above your budget but they are both great cameras.
Fuji X100 - small, but not pocketable
Sony RX100 - pocketable, but may be a little more expensive. Now on gen. 3, so the original has come down in price

Forget the Fuji. It's not known for its fast focus, in fact the opposite. But image quality is great.

Take a look into mirrorless cameras. Newer technology that delivers close to DSLR quality but in a much smaller camera.
Some good ones in your range:

$50 above your budget

I hike/backpack a bunch, a camera like the Canon Powershot (which I currently have) that is light and will fit in my pocket exactly meets those requirements.
Since I sometimes go on multiday trips I also pack extra batteries. You can get Chinese knockoffs online dirt cheap. An official battery from Canon costs $30 or so last time I looked, but I was able to get 5 batteries for $10 on eBay from some random company in China and they've worked just fine for over a year now.
