Which camera do I buy? - 1

Of my list, which camera has the best photo quality? I'm looking to take this on vacation with me, so I want to be able to capture some really beautiful pictures without having to spend $500 on a super high tech camera.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-S27
Canon Powershot A1300
Canon SX150
Samsung SL600
Canon Powershot A1400
Nikon Coolpix S4200

Thank you!

Is there a cure for G. A.S?

Gear Acquisition Syndrome
My current shopping list and rationale,

- Bronica estri with Polaroid back.
(Polaroid back will be extremely useful for the photography I do.) a hasselblad 500cm (and would be a way to integrate my Polaroid land camera with my medium format.
- Mamiya c330 with split prism matte focusing screen. I have very successful work from my c220 but focusing is difficult without the split prism.
- Leica m6 so I can use a flash ontop of my camera.
- Zeiss 28mm zm. - my next lens because using the 21 is too wide for my vision.
- Nikon coolpix A a truly compact digital camera to supplement my preferred film workflow.

I list these cameras because I want you to know that I know this is too much. Especially when considering the cameras I'm using. (M3, c220 and Shen Hao 4x5 field camera.) and I am genuinely looking for a cure to my GAS.

- The way I work, I have been taking more street portraits. I like to give the subject a copy with my land camera with my contact details. I use the 'other' format for my collection
- The C220 does not have interchangable screens (but it is lighter than the C330)
- The M3 has a bad PC socket that I can't fixed and isn't reliable. The flash becomes unreliable and I miss a lot of frames.
- Coolpix A is probably a little bit gasy.
