most of these cameras seem to have about the same features butI was
wondering which ones have the best test scores for taking quality pics?

You say "pics."
What kind?

What is important to you?
Action/motion shooting?
Wildlife?
Portraits?
B&W?
Sports?
Close-up/macro?
Low-light?
Long-exposure/night photography?
All-weather?
Under water?

Size considerations?
External flash capable/not?
Manual focus/auto-only?
Manual exposure/auto/both?
Battery life?
Zoom range?
Telephoto?
How much will you enlarge prints?

The answers to these questions will determine the best camera for YOU.

I was thinking more along the lines:

Aliasing
Artifacts
Blooming
Dynamic Range
Jaggies
Moiré
Noise Reduction
Absolute and Extinct LPH Resolutions
Sharpening
Barrel Distortion
Chromatic Aberrations
Image Stabilization
Lens quality
Pincushion Distortion
Vignetting
etc.

Ah.
So you don't want to take pictures...
....Just have clean images of...well...SOMETHING.
OK.
Here's a site that covers all of these details with samples, tests, and
numbers:
www.dpreview.com
See "review" section, and look up the cameras you're interested in.

Umm, the G3 would be my pick. Unless you need a smaller camera or cheaper.

G3 - Better lens than the S series or A series cameras, more zoom than the
G2, less noise than the G5.

However the G5 and G2 are still good cameras.

The A80 is good for the price and also has a swivel screen, but the lens at
max zoom has a small aperture. The A80 also has no hotshoe, so the built in
flash is all you can use. (G Series have a hotshoe)

Go to www.dpreview.com and read the review on the G3, look at the sample
images, if the quality doesn’t look good enough to you then feel free to
check other cameras.
