I want to get a camera that's portable, but still fairly good quality, and is able to shoot videos with some quality, while remaining in my budget. I found a few that seem to meet those standards, but i have no knowledge about what makes a good camera so who am i to say.

Answer
All of the cameras you listed are
Sony DSC-H200B
Canon PowerShot ELPH 320
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS
Sony DSC-WX50
Nikon COOLPIX S9050
point and shoot cameras (well, the H200 is a bridge camera, but still qualifies as a P&S - not a dSLR).
These cameras are all designed to capture still images. Their ability to capture video and audio are secondary "convenience features". This does not mean they cannot capture good video - they can - but you should not expect to treat them like a camcorder. There will be issues with file size limitations, video length limitations, poor/no audio control and no external mic jack. For the most part, their lenses are small - as are their imaging chips - and this results in poor low light video recording behavior.
If video - and audio - are the primary reason for your purchase, it would be much better if you got a camcorder designed to capture video and audio. For just a few more dollars than the H200, the Canon HF R30 is a good entry-level camcorder with a mic jack and rudimentary audio control (and it can capture still images as a "convenience feature").
If we are limited only to the 5 you provided, in descending order:
Sony DSC-H200B
Nikon COOLPIX S9050
Canon PowerShot ELPH 320
Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS
Sony DSC-WX50

GE W1000 camera records audio but not video?
xXAlbinoCr
So, here's the issue;
the only 'working' camera in my house is my GE W1000, and I need to record video I can download to my computer for an upcoming event.
However, here's the issue;
whenever I attempt to download a video I've recorded, once it saves on my computer, the file os audio-only, despite being marked as a .MOV file.
I have no idea how to fix this, and I would really like to have this answered as soon as possible. Thank-you!!
Answer
My research shows that the GE W1000 does shoot video.
Quick Time Motion JPEG, Audio: G.711 [Monaural]
Movie Recording - 640x480pixels: 20fps/15fps, 320x240pixels: 20fps/15fps
Max. Recording Resolution - 640 x 480
As you can see, NONE of the video recording resolutions are standard (30 fps for NTSC video) and there is NO HD video option
Your statement "... upcoming event .." makes me think that your shooting video of the event is important. Frankly you do not have the correct tools to do that
If you plan to shoot video of events in the future, think about buying an actual video camera or at least a P&S camera made by a reputable camera company, like Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Olympus, etc. GE is NOT known as a camera maker, but rather for making excellent kitchen appliances and jet engines
