Need help choosing between these Bridge cameras?

Hello, I am looking for a budget ( around 150GBP / 175EUR/ 230USD) camera. I am not much into cameras so I don't need a DSLR. I just need a good camera for upcoming trips with plenty of zoom and stuff to play with. Also I take photos and videos of fish (in aquariums) very often so I need something that will take a clear photo of (slowing) moving objects. I narrowed down my options to:

Olympus SP-720UZ: 14MP CMOS, 26x optical zoom, HDR, 1080p Video Recording

Nikon Coolpix L810: 16MP CCD, 26X, no HDR, 720p

Samsung WB100: 16MP CCD, 26X, 720p

Panasonic Lumix LZ20: 16MP CCD, 21X, 720P

more expensive option but it looks more value for money.
Olympus SZ-31MR: 16MP CMOS (not sure if BSI), 24x, HDR, 1080p

I don't want to fall for the MegaPixel numbers and such things. Please help me. Thanks
