Ricoh Caplio R5
or
Nikon Coolpix L12
or
Fujifilm Finepix F31FD
or
Nikon Coolpix S7c
and finally....
Samsung NV3

From your list, I'd pick the Fuji FinePix. I own the Fuji FinePix F10 myself and it takes great pictures, especially in low-light conditions, which is what you'll be shooting in about half the time. Nikon makes great DSLRs (the big 'clunky' cameras), but their point and shoots are shite, in my opinion. Ricoh makes better copiers and Samsung isn't really well known for their cameras.

I also highly recommend the DPreview.com website. My last two digital camera purchases were mainly based on the reviews and information I read off that website.

A couple more pieces of advice:

1) Buy a memory card reader for your computer. It'll be easier and faster to transfer your pictures from your camera by sticking the memory card into the reader rather than connecting your camera to your computer.

2) I recommend Flickr.com if you want to share your pictures with your mates over the web. Some of the KW posters (myself included) use Flickr to display their various kendo and iaido pictures.
