Pretty much most of the popular camera makers are Japanese, just that they are made in different countries ;)

Seeing the prices of DSLR, I find point and shoot cameras are over priced.

Option 1 - Canon IXUS285, WX350/500, SX710/610/620 - See which one comes in your budget.
Option 2 - Go for used RX100
Option 3 - Fancy DSLR? It's overkill for casual family use... You can get one for about 18k.

Don't buy H300. It will be painfully slow and it doesn't have what you want, WIFI.
B500 - Available?

Yeah, choices are very less lately. When I was buying 5yrs back, there were lot of choices and pricing too was good. Now, it's changed a lot. So the reason for suggesting cameras from other segments.
Some of the cameras in Option 1 should fit your budget, if not all.

Again, SX420 will be painfully slow.

It's fairly new. I haven't read any reviews of this camera. Going by spec, it seems okay other than size and weight and battery type.

If you can't find any of these or not okay with the choices...
my choices are Canon SX420 or nikon B 500(saw this with a a dealer here who sells it for abt Rs 14,400.00)
If your only choices are these two...
what should i choose now,budget max Rs 15000.
Go ahead with B500.

Amazon selling canon 1330 D at 21.9 K-seems tempting

1300D isn't a PnS which you wanted to buy as per your OP.

Getting it with only 18-55 isn't a good choice IMO. So, get it only if you are going to increase your budget to 29k ( i.e. for the dual lens combo).
