I am thinking of buying camera coz of discounts available online these days :-D

but there is no urgent need. I am going to learn photography with this camera.

Bro seriously below 10k all the camera are very very similar ...I think the cheapest low light cam is Nikon p330 ...it have slightly bigger sensor and all the manual settings needed

Ixus 255
wx150

nac are they really good in low light...OP's requirement is low light specifically

Yes, that's the best one can get in this budget. "Budget" determines everything here...

And now I am again stuck which one to go for.

^ Probably you may not find WX150

online as it's getting out of stock or the online seller selling at higher price. That leaves IXUS 255 to pick

And what about s6500?

It's good, just that I prefer IXUS over S6500.

So now I can pick the cam up @8999 at Amazon. What say?

If that's the best deal, yes you can take it.
