None of those is a really good camera. Look into Sony T100, T50

I was really happy with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX8 'til I lost it. The FX10 can only be an improvement on it. It's got Leica lenses as well so that's a bonus and you can get it for around £115 now.
Or if you want to spend more, a Lumix DMC-TZ3 is a great camera. It's what I'm currently using, has 10x
optical zoom, max ISO 3200 and a 3" screen. Have to give it a 10/10 on construction, as with every other Lumix camera I've owned/used!

Fuji's Finepix F series cameras perform well in low light.

Lumix are great cameras. I was considering getting one of these myself, but I thought they were too bulky and I got the Kodak V610 instead!

I'd say you made a mistake not buying one then...
Can't say I'd go and buy from a different brand unless I go for a DSLR or something.

I would take the W35 anyday imo. it has the best battery life and has optical viewfinder even though it's so compact compared to the list you provided. and yeah Carl-Zeiss isn't just name, it's quality. I always take some pictures under strong sunlight and sunlight flares are not an issue when using cameras with Carl-Zeiss lenses

especially since W-series has one of the best implementation of carl-zeiss of all the Sony cameras i've used. before Sony decided to use Sony lenses for their S-series and leave Carl-Zeiss in that series. and in fact i've compared a Sony W30 to a Canon IXUS 60 and the images came out pretty the same(sharpness, Colors, contrast and dynamic range). with W50 having higher contrast but Canon held the edge in more natural colors

too expensive, better get a Cybershot H9 camera for that price

or the T200 with smiley shutter and touchscreen

@salih - If I were you I'll just CHOOSE ONLY between these brands: Nikon, Canon, Olympus . . . and perhaps - KODAK !
