What is the best camera out all of these?

I haven't tried each of them, so I can't say which is best.

But here are some things you should look for:

Obviously, the more pixels, the higher the resolution (for the most part, that is not an absolute, but in this case a good rule of thumb).

Optical zoom is good, digital zoom is bad. SO, when you are looking at the cameras, look for the one with the greatest optical zoom. In all honesty, you should pretty much never use a digital zoom.

I can't tell from the photos of the cameras, but I would never buy any camera, including a point and shoot, that did hot have a flash hot shoe. Even cameras with built in flashes sometimes have them.

So, I would eliminate any cameras without a hot shoe and then find the one with the greatest optical zoom, and then the highest pixel count.

No idea, never used any of them. However, my gut would be to go with the Olympus or the Sony.
