I plan to buy my 1st camera, I would like to use it for any events or during vacation. I also want to learn more about photography. I want to have the easy-to-use one but the pictures taken are also awesome (high quality).

These are my list:

1. Nikon Coolpix L330
2. Nikon Coolpix L620
3. Olympus SZ-16
4. Sony DSC H200
5. Nikon S9500

Which one should I buy? All the prices are quite similar
Please help me choose
Thanks!

There is no such thing as awesome photo quality with push button simple. I agree that the Nikon D3200 is a great camera. However, of the cameras you listed, I like the Olympus SZ16, and posted a link to a review. I don't personally like the Nikon L cameras as the sensors are basically point & shoot quality due to their small size which limits the quality of the images.

Get the Sony HDR-CX220. It shoots full HD images/videos, smooth zoom, extensive battery life, and more. I use it for my YouTube tutorials.

Compact cameras from these list are all have some flaws; as you are planning to learn about photo I suggest you to look at "mirrorless" cameras instean such as Samsung NX, Nikon 1 or Olympus E-PM2 (PM1). These cameras are perfect for image qiality, can shoot in full-auto mode or in advanced mdes needed to learn the art of photo, have good lenses (with a possibility of choosing other lenses instead of a kit), and are not as bulky as the good Nikon D3200 DSLR camera mentioned before.
