Panasonic Lumix FZ-35 or Canon SX20is or Sony DSC-HX1?

Hello everyone!
Well, as you can make out from the title, I have narrowed down on to these three cameras - Panasonic Lumix FZ-35, Canon SX20 IS, and Sony DSC-HX1.
I am just a casual photographer. I would give more weightage to picture quality. Guys, please help me choose one of these, I am really in a dilemma.

I don't know these cameras well enough but I would not give any credence to the above post as no reasons are given and the post is followed by spam links.
Hopefully this will bring your post back up and you'll get some answers.

Tell us what you like about each camera and why you think it might be better.
