need some advice

[worldwidereef]

Im looking for a decent cam that will not cost a ton of cash. I would really like to take some good macro shots and just your average type pics. With that said I have looked at these three cameras. Whats your thoughts.

fuji finpix s5200

sony sybershot dsc-h1

panasonic lumix dmc-fz5k

What is your onpinion on these or is there any more within this price range.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Just looked at the three cameras side by side on www.dpreview.com and they appear to be very evenly matched. Fuji cameras are generally known for their excellent colors, Panasonic has that Leica lens and the Sony has the biggest lcd.
Of course there are lots of minor differences but I'm sure any of them will produce good pictures, especially at low iso's.
Best thing to do is get to a camera store where you can play with each one. Bring a memory card and record a few pics of each too if you can- then you can really examine the fine details on your own screen.
