The first and second are FujiFilm S5700 and its sibling S5800 which both are sold at $195 and $210. Let's talk about them one by one ;)
FujiFilm S5700 is a 7.1 MPixels camera. It has 10x fujinon optical zoom lens which are good for long-distance zooming. From what I see in digital camera reviews, this camera has good image quality but suffer from purple fringing. But the features it offers are superb, besides for prosumer digital camera, its price is the lowest while carrying fuji famous name.
Now, let's talk its big brother, S5800. S5800 has many similar characteristics like S5700 has : long 10x fujinon optical zoom lens, good -typical fuji- image quality and even share the same purple fringing problem. The price difference is only $15 and with it we will get additional 1 GB SD Card bundled and a little more pixels size since this camera can shoot 8 MPixels picture.
Now, let's us come to the last contender. Canon Powershot S720 IS. Canon Powershot S720 IS is sold at $220. While it is the most expensive among the others and bundled with nothing, Canon Powershot S720 IS has the best image quality among the others. The sharpness it produces is so damn good and with 6x optical zoom capability, this camera is fit for every home user who want to capture beautiful images. Although if we compare with both fuji's prosumer digital camera above, this Canon lacks of more advanced features and simply offered as point and shoot camera.
So which one I would choose personally? Definitely, I'll choose Canon over Fuji. Although Fuji has many features and its 10x zoom lens is really appealing, but I really love the image quality produced by Canon. The differences is not really obvious but as an ordinary user who doesn't understand of how to operating digital camera professionally, simple point and shoot camera is just better for me anyway :)
