What is your opinion on these 3 cameras? Please help!?

well personally i would go with an SLR camera, but i have a lot of photography experience. if you are really a beginner and used to like point and shoots cameras, you might wanna consider the SX30 IS. my cousin has it. very close to SLR just without interchangeable lenses. and maybe a little less features, but its a bridge camera so its really close :)
