For a little more you can have the Nikon P330. I personally don't own it but reviews suggest that picture quality is great. Check it if you don't have any problem with its 5x optical zoom.

Hey guys I was not able to decide and buy due to my exams.. I would like to learn about photography and addition of manual controls would be great.

Help me chose one among these or better in this price range..
Canon IXUS 255
Sony WX150
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ25

Pick the panasonic Tz25. It has the best IQ among all panasonic tz series and definitely better than the other 2 mentioned.

If you want manual controls, there is not lot of cameras available in this price range.
TZ25 - only if you can find it in available in this price range (there was an offer in snapdeal, I think. Check that out...)
SX160/SX170 - If you can live with the slow performance.

TZ25 costs Rs. 9632 on snapdeal and thinking of ordering it via COD.. Shall I go ahead with it ?
