Canon SX130IS can be had for 9k only from eBay. The seller is a Power seller, so this deal seems good.

How come it is being sold for so low? :-? Will it be reliable? And what actually is a power seller?

You can read about PowerSeller here:
eBay India - Power Sellers

Basically Power Sellers are very trusted sellers having very large number of positive reviews. You can't go wrong buying from them as it is virtually guaranteed that the product you buy from them would be genuine and as described in the listing on eBay.

How much does the Nikon L120 differ from Canon IXUS 150 ??? Is the clarity is huge difference? which 1 is better?

Or, better get the Canon SX220 HS for 14.5k from letsbuy. It is same as the SX230, except for the GPS chip. From the reviews and comparison shots, this one is the best when it comes to picture quality, plus, it has got full manual mode, Aperture priority, shutter priority modes, etc . Exactly what you need.

Go here and you can compare images taken by some popular cameras in detail:
Product Face-Offs Cameras - DigitalVersus

You will find Canon SX230 to be superior to other contemporaries.

SX220HS is the best option. In dpreview comparison test the SX230 HS came out top, and 220HS is the same cam, minus the GPS.

Exactly. Other cameras might provide more (and useless) features, more megapixels, more zoom, etc, but when it comes to quality, no camera in this price range beats the SX220/230.
