Which camera is the best of these?

Which camera is the best?

• My birthday is coming up and my mom wanted me to come up with a list of things that I would like. I would really like a nice camera, sorta like a professional one. I know cameras can get really pricey and I don't want to be rude and ask for a really expensive camera. I have offered to pay part or half of the price but I want to find the best deal. I'm having a hard time knowing which camera is better. One of those cameras with the lens that you turn and twist before taking a picture or a Stabilized Zoom Lens? I have picked out a few I like and which is the best out of these? Best quality for the price. If there is another camera you know of that is inexpensive and has good quality, please post the link.
