My Opinion : I will grab Nikon S9500 anytime for compact size and easy to put into pocket. Not to mention it has wider lens though shorter tele zoom compare with it's both sibling. To be honest this 3 camera spec are very close to each other. It is totally up to you which lens fulfil your requirement. Oh it is worth mentioning CoolPix L820 is using AA batteries.
