non of the above.
go for a Canon or a Nikon mate. Much better lenses.
Canon powershot A85 or A95 (if you can get it for that much) - great camera with good lenses with loads of manual features.
or nikon coolpix 5200. A little harder on functionality but a great camera.
Thats what I would be looking at

Here you go:
This is a discussion we had:

This is VERY picture heavy, but all were taken on my Canon IXUS that will cost you less than Budget. https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=70673

Its VERY small.. about same as 20B&H, but thinner and my battery in Toulon would do around 250 images of this quality:
And then recharge in less than 1hr

Get something with a lithium battery as cameras that use the standard AA batteries dont last very long. If you want a zoom function then make sure its optical. High Mega Pixels doesnt determine the quality of the picture, it determines the size of the photo. The lens and ccd in the camera will determine the quality.
Thats why a 6.1 million pixel camera for £65 will give a photo at a res` of approx 3072 x 2048 but the camera will have a cheap plastic lens, poor quality ccd and the image whilst big will look shit. Where the £495+ camera will take the same size photo through a proper glass lens, using a high quality ccd and will look excellent.
Beware of camera that state a high pixel rate as some are quoted with software optimised settings which doesnt usually work.

Thanks
I was always more into the optical zoom rather than megapixels. Which is why i liked this one so much and i think is my choice.... Kodak DX6490 £193
